Skyline Alpacas has added these very desirable genetics to their herd. Thank you! We have kept a number of special offspring from this amazing male so offered Palladium of ATV to a dedicated breeder and are pleased with his destination. Palladium is sired by Silver Elation whose fleece is akin to a very fine and extremely dense Persian rug. This young male is our fifth generation silver stud and we are very excited about him. No, we don't go to many shows so he is a hidden treasure producing the next generation of superior silver gray. Silver Elation is giving us great offspring and we are so proud to own him. Palladium's dam was our favorite foundation female whose 2011 fleece was sorted and scored at Superfine by AFCNA and that was her 7th fleece! Madrigal was definitely one of the best production females with her gentle personality and abundant milk and mothering abilities. She has continually produced top seed stock and the pairing with Silver Elation was ideal. Palladium sports good conformation with super presence and a gorgeous fleece that exhibits both high frequency and high amplitude with fineness and extreme density. We are pleased with this male that was Reserve Champion behind the 2013 AOBA National Champion. His offspring are everything we hoped for! Palladium is producing long staple and lovely head in his offspring! Palladium's fleece EPD 2019 MSL 6.455 0.34 122 of 25,949 0.48% Top 1% FW 0.56 0.292 3,014 of 25,949 11.62% Top 15

Chickory is a sweet Casanova daughter with a fine handling fleece and a wonderful personality. Her coverage is superb, and her bite is solid and correct. She's a gentle, calm girl who turns heads and wins hearts. Chickory comes from a proud line of top-quality producers of colored alpacas, gray being prominent. Her dam Hickory (TB) is a reliable girl with a great milk supply and excellent mothering abilities. Her grand-dam, Silver Belle, is a proven producer of high-quality cria, having thrown all silver gray, black, and one roan in her years of production. Of course, every gray breeder knows what Snowmass Peruvian Casanova, AOBA Color Champ & Futurity Herdsire of the Year, has done for the colored alpaca market and Chickory is a strong representative of this line. Her grand-sire, Peruvian Bueno G173 certainly needs no introduction.

Legato Grigio is the assimilation of the 2 most important lines that we wanted to bring to our grey breeding program. He comes by his elite fleece not unexpectedly. Dad is RR Gun's A'Blazin' who has now shown by both histograms, and follicle skin testing that he is consistantly producing fineness, density and uniformity and was a 15 time banner winner. Mom, Snowmass Golden Dreams, has been one of our best producers. We have amassed countless banners from her offspring, among whom is our pre=potent herdsire Snowmass Midnight Sun. LG has demonstrated his pepotency repeatedly in his production. He is able to transmit solid grey as a dominant, in many shades. His progeny, as tested by histograms and biopsies (to date) attest to his prepotency...take a minute to check the stats on his offspring. There is but one to date that is not still in our herd...we have retained them all. His non grey production has championed in solid colors, fawn and black in particular. His pattern appears to be a spotting, not tuxedo , pattern and we have used him on solid colors with excellent success. He had not been bred to tuxedo patterns in the past (at his birth farm), but we have bred him to several of our tux girls who have produced tux cria. The numbers don"t lie: Histograms: 2012 16.0/ 3.9/ 23/ CF 100%/ length 90mm 2013 18.3/ 4.1/ 23/ CF99%/ length 105mm 2014 17.3/ 3.85/ 22.24/ CF 100 length 90.0 2015: 19.3/ 4.3/ 22.3/ CF 97.3 length 90mm Biopsy (Alpaca Consulting/ Ian Watt): Density 64.6/mm2 S/P ratio 11.8:1 In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 25.9 SD 2.8 In-skin mean secondary fibre diameter: 20.6 SD 2.8 Comments: Excellent density well supported by an above average S:P ratio and very uniform fiber populations, among the best recorded for this color to date.
