Steele Magnolia is the offspring of our best true black female, Peaceful Valley Grace, and the undisputable powerhouse of grey genetics, Aussie Rockford. Maggie is an absolutely stunning silver grey girl. Her pedigree is a phenomenal combination of black and grey genetics perfectly balanced with Accoyo/Peruvian bloodlines from Yupanqui, Felix, and Guellermo. Maggie's dam, Grace, is a Michelangelo daughter who displays an elegance and presence that is captivating. Grace's award winning history at halter and fleece always placed her at the top of her class. Maggie's sire, Aussie Rockford, is a 1/2 Accoyo silver grey proving himself a prepotent male with an enviable record of over 90% grey or black offspring from a variety of dam colors. He is a national award winning male whose show career highlights included 1st place at 2000 CABA, Estes Park, and Sun City Sizzle, 2nd at AOBA nationals; and 1st place at 2001 AOBA nationals at halter and fleece, EVAA fleece and Alpaca Adventure fleece shows. Maggie is a beautiful medium silver grey with many positive attributes. She possesses perfect conformation, excellent fleece coverage and character, with an endearing personality that makes her standout from the herd. Maggies's show record is impressive, and she consistently receives judges comments as a "full package" female. 2005 her "accomplishment year" with 2nd and Reserve Champion Female at the Heart of the Valley, 2nd at Alpacapalooza, and 1st and Champion Grey Female at the level V AWE. She is a cornerstone foundation female. Her first cria a bay black male sired by Crescent Moon's Kryptonite standing stud at Sleeping Monk Farm in New Hampshire, and her second cria, Cadence, sired by SA Peruvian Black Epic, is a striking true black female who looks as stunning as her first. '08 produced a silver male out of Victor's Julius, and '09 a dark rose grey Rincon Cloud Daughter, Brooklyn Roads, who was Reserve Color Champion at 2011 Level IV CABA and now firmly settled into our foundation herd. Her '11 edition is another female, bay black Abbey Road. Abbey is a stunning After Hours Daughter, and a Reserve Color Champion as well. She is rebred to Rincon Cloud for hopefully a repeat performance of Brooklyn Roads.
