True black from two true black parents, Jag carries color genetics deep with black and grey. In addition to the rich black color, his fiber has wonderful hand and architecture...a fabulous combination! We purchased Jag to be the perfect complement to daughters coming from our three champion colored herdsires, Snowmass King Crimson, Lace's Peruvian Black Lance,and Avalon's Peruvian Granger. We've already seen the outstanding daughters coming from Crimson and Lance, so we knew we had to find a male worthy of them. We believe Jag is the answer. Unfortunately, Jag was not shown as a juvenile. Tucked away in a back pasture of a large farm, Jag went unnoticed. Well, that has changed! Since we purchased Jag, we have been eager to get him into the showring. He "came home" in early March 2007 and, as a yearling, had his first experience with a halter and lead. Only days later he was in his first show. Jag gained confidence and it has shown in the ring. He glides and prances as he enters the ring, capturing the judges' attention. NOTE! Jag came into his own at the Great Midwest Alpaca Festival where he was chosen as the 1st Place True Black Yearling Male. Judge Jude Anderson then selected him as the Black Color Champion, noting that his fleece was the "finest with good crimp, and lock, even from skin to tip, well covered, conformationally sound with great style"! If you are looking to find a top quality, true black male to breed to your girls, this is definitely a male you'll want to check out. Visit us and see for yourself.

Black and grey crias..Lace has done it again! This makes two true black and three rose-grey crias for Lace when bred to black males with grey in their backgrounds and 1 silver grey when bred to BROWN! We can safely say that Lace has proven her worth as a producer of black and grey crias! Lace has also proved consistently that she is a wonderful mother to her crias. She is attentive, without being overbearing, has good colostrum, and produces ample milk. Her fleece is fine and dense, but could be improved by increased staple length. Since we know now that she is a color producer, we need to select males for her that will increase her secondary fiber production and staple length. Since we would love to try for another silver grey cria from Lace, we have decided to rebreed her to Snowmass King Crimson, to see if we can repeat with another silver grey like Grayling. We decided to hold Lace over until Spring for her breeding to Crimson! Stay tuned!
