The look of liquid mercury and the excitement of a full Peruvian grey suri awaits your breeding program with Mercury Rising. He is the son of Angelinn, a beautifully locked 6Peruvian Rufino daughter and Reserve Champion at the 2002 MaPaca Jubilee, the largest alpaca show in North America. His sire is 5Peruvian Silver King, a medium silver grey full Peruvian stud out of a full Peruvian rose Grey dam, who has produced several greys. Mercury's high luster grey color, defined lock structure, and superb conformation of his typey body style makes him one to watch in the show ring and in the breeding pen. This showy male has outstanding coverage from his topknot to his toes and exhibits beautiful locks - very unusual for a grey, promising to make him the top grey herd sire in the country. Mercury won Reserve Color Champion at the 2005 AOBA National Conference Fleece Show, winning over many of the top grey and multi males in the country. His regrowth on his fleece is beautiful, with defined locks and beautiful luster. His silver grey color (almost blue) is breathtaking! Mercury has produced champions, too! Check out WRSR Mercury Rising's Marauder, a medium rose grey now owned by Rainbow Mountain Alpacas and Prairie Lake Alpacas. Marauder was awarded Reserve Champion - Grey Male Suris, at the 2009 MAPACA Jubilee Show. Mercury's Wildside has taken the blue at the 2009 AOBA Nationals, as well as the 2009 MABA Alpaca Celebration. Book your breedings now!

Amazing grey fleece!

Winchester's Wild Rose Patches

SuriOpen (Female)Medium Silver Grey
AOA# 30685130DOB: 7/1/200717 yrs
What a surprise! Patches popped out as a light fawn with some speckles and spots, but by the time she was 6 months old, her topline was showing a beautiful light grey. She has been a winner from day 1, and dominates the fleece shows with her fineness and uniformity. Patches is a 3X Fleece Champion at the largest suri shows in the country, and was even awarded 1st Place at the 2009 AOBA World Fleece Show. She produces a uniform grey fleece with notable fineness and consistency. The color is a beautiful bronzed silver grey, and is gorgeous when spun into yarn. Patches is a smaller female, weighing only 130 lb in good condition. However, she births easily, has lots of milk, is a great mother, and is truly a treasured foundation dam for Wild Rose. Patches delivered a beautiful harlequin cria in 2014, WRSR Pepper Dot by Coalossus, and as she turned 1 year old, her fleece grew out a dark silver grey. She still has spots on her face and legs, making her very showy and flashy, just like her mom, Patches. Patches was bred to Shasta Springs Fusion and delivered a beautiful appy male cria, WRSR JackKnife by Fusion, on August 5, 2016. He has beautiful distinct dark fawn spots on a silver grey base - gorgeous! She was bred to Fusion for a May 2018 cria, and delivered another stunning appaloosa female on 6/6/18, "WRSR Sweet Spot by Fusion". She looks very similar to Pepper Dot and is a light silver grey with spots. Patches was been rebred to Fusion for a May 2022 cria and we were excited to see a beautiful dark harlequin appy males, WRSR Zanzibar by Fusion. Patches was retired from breeding in the fall of 2022. She has produced beautiful crias and been an exceptional suri alpaca with a sweet personality. Contact Patti at 443-740-4240 for more information or to schedule a visit to see the alpaca.

Description

Amazing fleece on this guy! After Dark is a favorite of spinner's for its ease to spin, high luster, and uniform black color. While his fleece is not super slick and drapey, its characteristics of some slight loft combined with its slick nature give it the ultimate spin-ability. As evidence, he has won 3 Spin-Off Championships and has 4 1st Place ribbons, never receiving less than a 1st in any show!After Dark is a smaller male, weighing only about 125 lbs, but each year he produces almost 6 lbs of beautiful black fiber. He has a very sweet personality, and is a "talker", almost having a conversation with you. We have also used this guy for teasing, and he loves his job! He is easy to handle, and social. Although he is of smaller stature, he holds his own even with other males twice his size! We have not used After Dark much for breeding as we have bred very few over the last 5 years. Since he is out of 2 grey parents, it is highly likely that he will produce black or grey offspring with great fiber. He has been bred for a spring 2015 cria, and we are anxious to see the result! This guy is great to have on the farm, is packed with Champion fiber, and has held his fineness even over the age of 4. After Dark is always ready and willing to breed, and just a pleasure to have on the farm. Contact Patti for more information at 443-740-4240 (cell/text)
