Update 4/30/11: I just acquired a 2010 histogram that was taken by a person who was interested in though didn't purchase Striker last year. I sent them a 2010 fleece sample and think it completes a positive picture when consolidated with his shearing information below. Striker is the son of the 2003 Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass Peruvian Casanova and out of a silver Peruvian Black Magic daughter, so this is a powerhouse of high quality genetics! Stiker inherited the lovely dense, crimpy and soft handling fiber of his sire. He showed in the fall just days after his first birthday and came in second in a very tough class though he was the youngest. You can see from his shearing record that he is a consistent fleece producer. Striker is truly underutilized with only five registered cria, three belonging to ATV. Yes, we are keeping his offspring as they have the same lovely guard-free fleeces. If you are looking for a stud capable of improving most dark colored fleeces, Casanova's Silver Strike would be a great addition to your herd.

Berry Nice is a true North American Beauty that has produced beautiful offspring for us. Last year she gave us a stunning silver gray male that has the densest fleece we have ever seen on a cria. Let me tell you why she continues to sport a soft handling fleece; Berry is a Mr. Roosevelt daughter out of a female from Alpacas de Patagonia's breeding program and that says a whole lot. Ask Cresent Moon Alpacas how their Roosevelt kids are and they will tell you, "AWESOME"! We bred her to Silver Elation for her 2012 medium gray cria and repeated this breeding for her June 2013 which is also a dense, beautiful offspring. All ATV animals are guaranteed healthy!

Platino is another fine example of what our breeding program is striving for with his unblemished fleece which is fine and dense. Additionally, you will be hard pressed to find obvious medulation in his fleece giving it the ultimate handle. You only need to look at his correct conformation as well as his second year histogram to know that this is what you want in your gray breeding program. Top that off with an exceptionally gentle temperament ATV is known for producing.
