MILE HIGH THE REVEREND MR. BLACK HAS A NEW HOME IN THE MIDWEST!! Thank you Frank and Sharon Loner for allowing us the opportunity to bring Mile High The Reverend Mr. Black to our breeding program. We are very excited for the future and what he will bring. Mile High The Reverend Mr. Black is a Multiple Color Champion. The Reverend has produced award winning alpacas for Mile High Alpacas and their customers including multiple Champion, 2007 Futurity Grey Color Champion Mile High Deacon Grey. The Reverend's genetics have been limited east of Colorado and we are honored to be able to bring those genetics to the midwest. The Reverend has excellent conformation and a very proud stance. He commands your attention while standing in the pasture. He has beautiful true black fiber and at nine years of age is still holding nice crimp and fineness. He has produced offspring in every color. His offspring have done very well in the show circuit. The Reverend is the son of Maple Brook Fandango and Rogue's J'ebon and he is a Peruvian Bueno grandson. These are some of the best known names in the industry. If you are serious about improving the quality of your colored breeding program you should give great consideration to The Reverend. He is highly respected by serious breeders. He has the proven genetics to produce award winning cria. To celebrate his acquisition and new home his service is being offered for a very limited number of breedings at $1500. Take a look at the picture of his gorgeous daughter Black Walnut's Picture Perfect Sunday. She is owned by Jeri and David Hamilton at Black Walnut Alpacas. When I first got my hands on her my immediate reaction was "Oh Wow!" Her owners were so impressed with her (as they should be, she is GORGEOUS) that they rebred her dam back to Reverend. Reverend cria are all rock solid. If you need to add bone and phenotype to your cria he is the male to do that. He passes very fine fleece on to his cria.

What does one say about a girl like Elke? Elke is the star of the paddock wherever she lives, and it isn't because she's an appaloosa. It's because of her personality. Elke is an own daughter of 6Peruvian Century, a very little-used harlequin herdsire who was imported in-utero. Century's dam, 6Peruvian Bruna, is one of the twenty-odd original imports to bring the harlequin gene into the United States. She was a cornerstone to the Magical Farms' herd, with dozens of decedents to her credit -- a very good number of them champions and champion-producers, and a very good number of them harlequin. Elke herself inherited the appaloosa spotting of her sire. While she missed out on the full-on transformation to harlequin grey, she is clearly capable of producing it, as her daughter, Maxine -- a very dark silver harlequin -- is the reason we brought her here in the first place. The only reason that Elke is for sale for this price is simply that she is extremely stretchy in build, while our farm is breeding for compact and square. (She was purchased in a package with her harlequin daughter.) That said, her conformation is spot-on -- straight lines all around -- and she has very good bone for her frame style. Her fleece exhibits exceptional retained fineness; at age 12, she is still extremely fine and uniform, and her excellent brightness rounds things out to produce an excellent hand. At age 12, she is still extremely soft. At the beginning of this write-up, I mentioned her temperament, and a description of Elke would not be complete without elaborating on this. Elke loves people, specifically men, and, when open, she will cush at the feet of any male human who enters her paddock. She is not pushy, and it is totally endearing and, in fact, quite hilarious. She isn't mean to women, and she seems to enjoy their company, but she definitely knows what gender people are. She's a different character when bred ... As most females are. So, here is an opportunity to acquire a female appaloosa, who is extremely fine, and perfectly conformed -- from a line of potent harlequin-producers -- who has already produced a harlequin herself -- for an amazing price -- simply because her body type does not fit our program. To make things even better, this price includes a breeding to any of our herdsires, and I truly believe that the one who compliments her best is our appaloosa stud, Mr. Butterscotch.

Description

** SALE PENDING ** Max is a large-framed, stately female in the most exquisite shade of ultra-dark silver grey. It is very hard to find this gorgeous color in a tuxedo, and when they do pop up, they are usually spotted. In a great show of irony, it is the extra-dark harlequins -- like Maxine -- who offer the most uniform example of this awesome color. Maxine is a rare fourth-generation harlequin appaloosa. Her dam, Elke, is a true appaloosa whose sire, 6Peruvian Century, was a rose grey harlequin. He was an in-utero import out of 6P Bruna, who was, in turn, one of the original twenty-odd imports to bring the harlequin gene into this country. Bruna was also one of the cornerstone females in Magical Farms' herd, with dozens of descendents, many of them champions. Max's sire line is pretty nice as well, as she is an own daughter of multiple-champion Mile High The Reverend Mr. Black. Mr. Black showed at the height of alpaca show popularity, so he was crowned champion in fields of 50-70 alpacas per color class -- no mean feat! A true black grandson of impact herdsire Peruvian Bueno, Mr. Black has made a name for himself as a producer of champions, with Futurity Champion Deacon Grey among his most notable. Max inherited the impeccable conformation of both sire and dam. She is arrow straight from any angle. Her proportions are balanced, if stretchy -- she did inherit a good measure of her dam's lankiness -- and she has good, sound bone. Her head exhibits good type, with a blocky muzzle and appropriate proportions. This girl inherited some very good fineness from her sire and dam with an extra boost of density from her sire. Her density is excellent. Her fleece is fine enough that I had to double-check her age -- yes, she's seven (!) -- getting that lasting fineness from both sides doesn't hurt! Max's fleece promises to produce some fantastic yarn, and the fact that this will be her 8th offering of it is pretty fantastic. These harlequins are beautiful to look at in the paddock, but the fleece is the really big deal! Max's 2016 cria absolutely blew me away. Not only did she deliver the harlequin appaloosa female I had hoped for, but this cria has a fleece beyond anything I had dreamed of. My original intent was to sell Max after she delivered -- keeping the cria if it happened to be a harlequin girl. Now, because of her quality, I am not so sure that I want to sell Max after all! Since I will be keeping Max's 2016 cria, an interested party would have 12 months' free board for Max, along with 12-months free financing to pay for her. I will be breeding her back to King of Diamonds.
