SOLD - Congratulations to Kim Kline of Havenfield Farm in Birdsboro, PA. Words fail to describe the many attributes of this male, and we're thrilled that he has a chance to work on the East Coast. The judges agree with our assessment of his potential with 3 times 1st Place and Reserve Champion, 1st Place at 2005 GWAS, 2nd Place at AAA Futurity, and 2nd Place at 2005 AOBA Nationals. He is a stunning boy with an amazing temperament. Now with over 35 cria on the ground it is clear that After Hours is delivering in the breeding barn. We can safely say (as safe as genetic predictions can be) that After Hours is consistently producing cookie cutter replica's of himself. From deep black & grey color pedigrees he has produced black or grey in 11 of the 12 black & grey dams bred to him. Females that bring other colors both in phenotype & genotype he tends to let the dam's color come through. He has produced gorgeous maroons & fawns with excellent fleece character and high frequency crimp. One thing for sure. His kids have his boxy true-to-type huacaya frame, substantial bone & stunning head all covered in crimpy, dense, bundled fleece. His offspring that have been shown have represented their owners well. The latest is our own Bellatrix taking 1st in both conformation and fleece at the 2009 AROW Composite show & snagging the Color Championship in a combined class of Blacks & Browns and Reserve Championship at 2010 PNAA out of 25 blacks.

Silver Allusion (Allie) comes by her name naturally. She is a captivating Aussie Rockford daughter out of our dark rose grey Vic. Jr. daughter, Libby. Libby was born a deep chocolate brown, but her yearling show experience put her in the dark rose grey class, so her pairing with Silver Grey Rockford seemed a likely choice, and this stunning female exceeds our expectations. Allie's conformation & typey good looks are perfect, and she has excellent coverage in an even steele grey with a lovely hand, soft crimp, and above average staple length. Her dam, Liberty Girl, is an excellent example of the power of the combining the tried and true attributes of Accoyo Victor with Hemingway in Libby's sire, Victor's Vic Jr. We are thrilled to combine the Victor and Felix bloodlines in this grey package. Her bright soft fleece is showing the characteristic crimp of Rockford kids as they near their first birthday, and she possesses the density and exceptional staple length of her dam. She finished the 2008 show season with a bang at AlpacaMania. Judge David Barbosa placed her first in a competitive class of grey yearling females. Her fineness advantage, excellent brightness, consistent crimp style, and density placed her at the head of her class of 8. She is a stunning addition to this year's cria crop, and destined to be a cornerstone foundation girl. We believe she has what it takes in genetics and phenotype to produce the next generation of elite grey alpacas, and with the increasing numbers of top quality grey studs out there, Allie has a lengthy list of possible mates. For her maiden breeding we've chosen Bisturi, an awesome silver male standing at Amanda Vandenbosch's Flying Dutchman Farm. Bisturi shows wonderful fleece traits and conformation that we look for in a breeding male. This breeding produced a lovely silver grey male in June. Allie is bred to Xanadu After Hours for September 2011. After Hours has produced multiple grey offspring from grey Rockford daughters, so we are waiting to see what this match will bring.

It's Official ...... "NeverSummer's American Iron" ..... bringing Aussie .38 Special bloodlines back to Stonyridge for the 2015 breeding season! .38 Special has been sold to East Coast breeders, so when the opportunity to host this quality son came along, we jumped. Thank you to owners Dale Davis of Derwydd Alpacas, and Dee Souza of La Dee Da Alpacas for trusting us with your boy. This is his third summer here, and his first crop of cria for us hit the ground last year. They are stunning! Get your reservation early, so you don't miss out on this limited opportunity. American Iron will arrive Mid June and be here through October 2015. Yes, he has the requisite successful run in the show ring, but more importantly this male has the power in his pedigree that tips the scales in his favor for reproducing his awesome phenotype, and desirable conformation and fleece characteristics. 3 year histogram = 22.3/ 4.4/ 19.6 with a spin fineness of 21.7. Iron is full brother to the high-selling alpaca at the 2011 Futurity Auction! "NeverSummer's Chautauqua" Iron's pedigree is packed: Hemingway, Victor, Royal Fawn, 5Peruvian Royal Incan Legend, Lanark's Silver Charm, Peruvian Aladdin ....... and let's not forget Hannaruh. Experienced breeders know the value in stacking a pedigree with proven and repeatable genetics, and American Iron brings that to the breeding pen. He is exactly the type of male to compliment any quality grey breeding program. Such a stunning young male - super heavy bone, outstanding presence, macho head ("Best Head" award winner at the 2011 International Alpaca Odyssey!) and a calm disposition. Get into his silky, fine, bright, LONG fiber and it melts away to the touch. Its one of those fleeces that just gets better with age. Iron is sired by the incomparable grey herdsire, Aussie .38 Special. As he ages, .38 Special just keeps getting better. He is a two-time Judges' Choice winner, including Judges' Choice Fleece at the 2010 AOBA Nationals (4th fleece!).
