Congratulations and thank you to Suzie Radtke, of Uinta Alpacas in Utah, for her purchase of FRA Silver Lace! FRA SILVER LACE Silver Lace is out of Snowmass Silver Spirit who carries the lineages of Snowmass Casanova, Bueno, Snowmass Peruvian Angelique and Clara-Churicala. Her dam, Santa Lucia is a full Chilean true non-fading black out of 2 greys! (EPD's 25%) Silver Lace has five registered crias ALL ARE GREY! Silver Lace is bred & pregnant with Snowmass Pure Passion. She is due in September 2021. At her age she still has EPD's 25%; Her sales price is cheaper than the breeding charge on this Closed Magnificent Herdsire! Offspring: On 3/4/2012, Silver Lace had EPIC ALPACAS SILVER SOCRATES, a dynamite medium silver grey male cria, out of our Peruvian Silver Fox. Silver Socrates won the blue ribbon for Grey Yearling Male at the 2013 California Classic and the judge said, “He has very nice conformation and staple length, with a lot of crimp and structure. He has the fineness to match. He’s a definite first place animal.” On 7/12/2014, Silver Lace presented us with ESTATES LACEY ROSE, an incredibly fine MRG female sired by Chief Grey Feather, our beautiful silver grey herdsire with "Royal Lineage." Paternal Royal Lineage Includes: Accoyo Legacy, Accoyo Grandmaster, Peruvian Naomi, Peruvian Nome, Peruvian Matador, plus many generations of black and grey genetics. On 3/25/2016, Silver Lace gave us ESTATES MAGIC SILVER FEATHER, a handsome LSG male with dense, beautiful fleece, sired by NS Magic Flight, our fabulous 3x Champion and Blue Ribbon winning Light Silver Grey herdsire. On 10/21/2017, Silver Lace presented us with ESTATES SILVER GRAY BEARD, a handsome LSG male sired by Estates Gray Beard. On 8/14/2020, Silver Lace gave us ESTATES SILVER STRANDS, a beautiful medium rose grey female sired by our magnificent multi-champion, Snowmass Pure Passion.

Description

Epic Alpacas Socrates has moved on to be standing stud at Capaldi Ranch! Socrates is a fleecy boy and his histogram is in to back it up! With an AFD of 17.7 and a first year fleece blanket of 4 lbs, he’s got the stuff to be the next big thing! He’s got great staple length with fabulous crimp the whole length. He won the blue ribbon for Grey Yearling Male at the 2013 California Classic and the judge said, “He has very nice conformation and staple length, with a lot of crimp and structure. He has the fineness to match. He’s a definite first place animal.” Socrates is energetic and will start up what will no doubt be a fine herdsire career in 2014. He brings huge grey genetics to the table (check out his certificate to see where 9 out of 14 of the alpacas in his line are grey – talk about genetic potential!). His dad has produced 72% grey registered cria (and 95% grey or black) and his mom’s pedigree is filled with greys. He’s a compact, strong boy who will have little trouble settling the girls! His father, Silver Fox, is out of the Janus breeding program and was used on a limited basis to keep his genetics from flooding the market. He has added density, crimp and staple length to every breeding. And Socrates is showing that he’s taken his dad’s genetics to a new level!
