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.

Dam: New Forest Summer Ember

35154150<--ari-->Bay Black<--color-->Summer Ember is an absolutely beautiful female. Her fiber is extremely soft with beautiful character that she has retained through maturity. She also continues to produce a substantial fleece weight. This girl is an example of what every farm should be striving to achieve, an alpaca that remains productive for her entire life, in superior fleece as well as Rock Star crias. Summer is correctly conformed with elegant presence, plus her gorgeous feminine, typey head. Shortly after purchasing Summer we sent her 7th fleece off to the Tennesee Waltz Fleece Show where it was awarded the Color Championship. Her rose grey daughter Victoria won Color Champion in Grey at the same show. We then selected Summer to breed to Aussie .38 Special, and our dreams were realized when Summer gave us their incredible silver gray daughter, Delphi's Elphi. Delphi's Elphi is the best silver cria ever to be born at Delphi Alpacas, a three time banner winner as a juvenile, including Reserve Champion at this year's Futurity. Summer sells with her stunning Avatar daughter at her side, "Mustang Sally" who is surely to bring more banners your way. A beautiful brown girl with presence, type, density, fineness and tight curly tipped locks - Sally is another example of Summer's incredible value as a foundation female. And now Summer has been bred to the 2014 Grey Futurity Champion, KVR's Peruvian True Eye Candy. Awarded a banner every time he walked into the ring in 2014, Ike's 2 time Banner winning juvenile fleece had an AFD of 13.9. Summer is bound to knock another one right out of the park with this cria due in August! Not a weak link in this 3-in-1 offering, bring them all home and change your farm forever. 2006: FD 19.1, SD 4.0, CV, 21.1, CF 98.7 (1.3%) 2007 FD 22.9, SD 4.1, CV 17.8, CF 95 (5%) 2008: FD 23.9, SD 4.5, CV 18.9, CF 92 (8%) 2009 FD 22.9, SD 3.9, CV 17.2, CF 95 (5%) 5-11-12: AFD 21.6 / SD 3.9 / CV 17.9 / 2.9% >30 5-13-13: AFD 23.2 / SD 4.0 / CV 17.1 / 5.2% >30 Alp<--description-->

Description

Mustang Sally has a pedigree second to none, with the famous Avatar as her sire and New Forest Summer Ember as her dam. She is a beautiful chocolate brown with black tips. Perfect conformation on a solid frame, this girl has it all. Sally's fleece is very fine, with a long staple length and an extremely soft handle. She is exhibiting excellent retained fineness as her yearling fleece stats are virtually identical to her juvenile fleece. With a current AFD of 17.6 micron and uniformity measuring at 4.3, it doesn't get any better than that for a dark female. We were so pleased when Sally took second place in her first show at a very competitive Futurity 2015. The halter judge comments included: "lovely, fine and very, very true to type. Really long staple with incredible softness of hand." This girl will produce champions.
