Anyone would agree that Challenger is truly one of the best Grey Herdsires in the country. His fleece is comparable to the best fawns and whites, exhibiting tremendous density while maintaining great fineness and staple length. In addition, he has excellent brightness to add to with his elite style fleece. His bundling is very tight with excellent separation of bundles, a high frequency crimp of 8 crimps per inch and the curvature that most alpaca owners wish they could have in their programs. He has extremely strong color genetics and has produced 100% black & grey out of black & grey.
Challenger had a very competitive show career, competing successfully at some of the most competitive shows, including the Ky Classic, and the Futurity. Check out his brief, but impressive show results, and remember the true test of a great herdsire is not what he wins, but what he produces! We are pleased to say that Challenger has not only lived up to our expectations, but has far exceeded them

Description
*** Champ placed 1st in the Yearling Male Class of the 2010 AFCNA Continental Fleece show and also took BLACK MALE COLOR CHAMPION! ***
We searched long and hard for a black huacaya male to add to our herdsire row. We knew we wanted a male with fine, consistent, black fleece, no white markings, excellent confirmation and a solid genetic background. The instant we felt Champ's fleece we knew he was the one.
With KPR Legend's Challenger as his sire (one of the best grey herdsires in the country who commands a $7500 breeding fee) and both MFI Peruvian Black Mesquite and Peruvian Aladdin on his dam's side Champ has an excellent combination of high end black and grey genetics behind him.
The handle of Champ's fleece is just amazing and he is now starting what promises to be an excellent show career.
Champ's show career is looking good. In 2009 Champ debuted at the OABA AlpacaFest and took first place under judge Jude Anderson. A contender in the black color champion class at that show, despite several examinations by the judge Champ did not receive the championship. At the TxOLAN Alpaca Spectacular he took not only first place in a very competitive Black Male Yearling Class but also the Black Male Color Championship, standing over 11 time Color Champion Irish Meadows Peruvian Knight Rider! At GWAS in another very competitive class he took 3rd Place. This boy is standing up with the winners where he belongs.
Champ has now started his breeding career, we have bred him to some of the top girls in our herd and are just awaiting pregnancy confirmation.
This is an outstanding male who is sure to add quality and value to your herd.
