32186925<--ari-->True Black<--color-->Beautiful phenotype, nice crimp and density. Look at the fleece characteristics and phenotype he's passed on to his first 2 offspring. Both of his 2012 crias (medium brown) are holding at 21 microns at age 18-20 mos!! Their dams are not related and needed fineness and fleece character, better phenotype and coverage. Blackjack provided that to both of them! We are a small farm and can't breed him to our whole herd but he's too nice to just hang out in my pasture & barn! Blackjack is a robust, mature male - he is the perfect stud you want to find in your pasture. He travels well - drive by breeding work best for you? Contact us now. Keep your females with Cria at side at home this spring! Bright, crimpy, SOFT, luxurious black fiber - with a "stylish" (awesome!) typey head (full fleece!) and absolutely flawless conformation with a show record to back up this claim! His fiber is fine, yet dense. Fiber analysis revealed a 20.9 micron count at 2 yrs. The handle is still superb - soft and crimpy fiber that cannot be overlooked. And, he is maintaining over 4 inches of staple length! WOW! Blackjack has managed to sneak all the remarkable traits of his genetic ancestors (Lanark’s Expresso, Drambuie, and Dom Timbo) into his perfect conformation, luxurious fiber, and macho personality package. He is broad and full framed - perfect! As an added bonus, he adds his own gentle-yet-inquisitive personality to his offspring. The offspring of a True Black dam (Black Magic) and a Grey sire (Pride of America-a Dom Timbo son), Blackjack is a TRUE Black with a few grey spots - or is he a grey with a whole lot of black?? Spin-Off results from Alpaca Blast-off 2012 - 2nd place with a score of 91 out of 100! Awesome! Nice comments from the handcraft spinner/ judge. Contact me and request a sample - he is staying so soft and fine! <--description-->

32186925<--ari-->Dark Silver Grey<--color-->Whispering Willows Alpacas would like to thank Linda Bat of Delphi Alpacas in Coaldale, Colorado, and her partners at Critter Mountain Ranch and Shadow Ranch Alpacas, for allowing us to acquire this outstanding herdsire! We are thrilled to be able to add Toledo's bloodlines, which are very rare east of the Mississippi, to our grey and black breeding program--and proud to be able to offer them to you! In his limited show career, Toledo competed very well. He earned Blue ribbons in halter classes, and he also received an unofficial "third" place in a championship class of 47 - having been sandwiched with the renowned Bisturi as Julio Sumar was determining the Reserve Champion at GWAS 2005. (ATV Adonnis had been selected Color Champion.) In 2006, Mike Safley commented enthusiastically about his fleece at GWAS, awarding him 2nd place, with first place again going to ATV Adonnis. At the same show, Toledo was awarded Color Champion in grey fleece. Toledo is typey, with a gorgeous head and a perfect bite. His fleece character and density are OFF The Charts! The picture of his fleece shown here was at 4 years of age! His crias have included some stars: Argenta Granite (owned by Argenta Alpacas): Granite won the Grey Color Championship at the TxOLAN Alpaca Show in February 2012. Chimera’s Orion Grey (owned by Chimera Ranch): Reserve Color Champion grey at Mid-America, and Champion at the National Western. Rose grey Deveron: Blue ribbon at SWRAS. Speyburn Shadow (LF from a DF dam--see his breathtaking fleece picture here): 2nd Place, OABA Nationals, light fawn juvenile halter class. <--description-->
