Congratulations to our friend Annie Hunt of Willow Wind Farm, for acquiring a share of Avatar. Please contact Annie about Avatar breedings. We are thrilled with Avatar's newest creations - including Delphi's Avella - The 2017 National grey female halter Champion at just over 6 months of age. And congratulations to Avella's new owners, Debbie and Dale Hoerl; Alpacas of Moose Creek Ranch! Many more Avatar crias will be arriving in 2018. Avatar has beautiful crimpy, dense, and fine fleece, but what separates him from other outstanding herd sires, is his phenomenal handle - due to both exceptional uniformity, and very bright, low scale fiber. Cameron Holt, AOBA Senior Judge Trainer and world wide fiber expert, gave the following scores to Avatar's fleece: Fineness: 15 out of 15 ; Handle: 5 out of 5 ; Uniformity of micron: 7 out of 8 ; Crimp: 8.5 out of 10 ; Density: 3 out of 5 ; Brightness: 8 out of 10 ; Lack of medullation: 8 out of 10. His daughter Delphi's Lailah won Color Champion Grey Female Fleece at the 2012 Nationals. His son Delphi's Rama won a Blue Ribbon at the 2012 National Fleece Show, (and then brown Color Champion at the Tenessee Waltz Fleece Show). These two Avatar kids insured Delphi's win of the 2012 Classic Cup for fleece, at the 2012 Nationals. Another standout offspring is Kanaka - an 8X Champion with 1% EPD's in both SD and >30; and 2% EPD's in fineness. While we don't participate in the program, we agree Avatar's son Kanaka's EPD stats do reflect his sire's strong suits. Avatar's many other crias now include Six AOBA National Halter or Fleece Champions, several Futurity Champions, and many many many Multi-Champion and Blue Ribbon show winners, in addition to the winners of many Special Awards, such as the Best Brightness award at the National Fleece Show - the first time this award has been awarded to a grey. Please enjoy viewing some of his lovely crias and their fleeces, shown below.

Very Large bone, excellent conformation, typey head coverage, Sedona definitely has presence, style and - she's my favorite color too. When Sedona was bred to Silver Charm's Aviator, she produced a gorgeous solid true black male cria. Sedona is a proven excellent mom and milker. Bred to Avatar, she delivered a gorgeous maroon boy - he could really be something! When we cria clipped him his fleece was looking fantastic - I can't wait to see it come back in. More pictures soon - he is growing up nicely. Now Sedona is bred to Futurity Champion Ike for her 2015 cria. Awards Received: Sedona took her first ribbon in a very large grey juevenile female class, GWAS 2007. A very impressive 3rd, and a close look for second. At Great Western Alpaca Show, 2009, Sedona took the blue. At 7 years of age, 2013 bag sample (just grabbed from her fleece bag): AFD 25.3 / SD 4.6 / CV 18.3 / 13.2% >30 At 8 years of age, 5-16-14: AFD 23.8 / SD 5.2 / CV 21.7 / 10% >30
