WLK SILVER STONE – is set to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious father, Peruvian Silver Heat, who was the 2011 Dark Futurity Herdsire of the Year, the first grey ever to accomplish this. He has inherited that extreme luster, density, lock structure, bone and confirmation, not to mention his stunning blue grey color. As a youngster he had a micron count of 15.2! We co-own him with the newly formed partnership Miller-McMahan Alpacas, who used him extensively last year and already have several of his outstanding offspring on the ground. We have bred him to several of our girls who are also up for sale. As a Juvenile Male, he swept the board on the show circuit in 2009 winning: Color Champion The Futurity – Halter - Suri Male Grey – 2009 1st Place: AOBA National Alpaca Show – Halter - Full Fleece Suri – Juvenile Male – Classic Grey - 2009 1st Place: The Futurity – Halter – Juvenile Suri Silver Grey Males – 2009 1st Place: MOPACA International Alpaca Show – Halter – Juvenile Suri Grey Male – 2009 1st Place: Great Western Alpaca Show – Halter – Full Fleece – Suri Grey Male – 2009 1st Place: IAA Heartland Classic – Halter – Full Fleece Grey Suri Yearling Male

Although we are keeping Silver Charm in our Grey Production line, you can sign up for her next cria. It's a given Grey Champion most times!! Charm has been rebred to Silverstone....as they make beautiful cria together. Can't wait until this one arrives in fall of 2016. She delivered an amazing male cria with luster on a grey that is out of this world, so much that he has been sold at the tender age of 2 months to Double Diamond Ranch from Texas. I can't wait to see this future herdsire rock the suri world in a couple of years.

Service Sire: RKR's LITTLE ABE

35104056<--ari-->Medium Silver Grey<--color-->RKR's LITTLE ABE is out of Medium Silver Grey My Sunshine Sally and multi-champion classic Medium Silver Grey WLK Silver Threads. Sally is the only Grey offspring out of MacGyver's Armed & Dangerous. Silver Threads has passed away. He was well known for consistently producing grey when bred to grey. Silver Threads was full Peruvian and had a pedigree with every alpaca on it being either rose grey or silver grey. Overall, you will find at least one grey Suri in each of the 4 previous generations of Abe’s pedigree making him a 5th generation grey male. So far all that grey in his pedigree is siring a lot of grey as he is 3 for 4 for siring grey and the three females that have their crias registered were a rose grey, a fawn, and it was the true black that didn't produce a grey. That cria was true black. He also had another cria out of silver grey that was grey, but hasn't been registered. Abe has wonderful confirmation and a dense, lustrous, silver grey blanket. The locks are more of an open lock structure that hand spinners love, it is showing great staple length growth, and the fiber has a wonderful cool handle to it. At 15 months of age a quick test was done on his fleece and came back with an AFD of 21.9 microns and a SD of 5.4. A sample was sent in for a full fiber test from his first shearing at age 2 and the histogram results were good. An average fiber diameter of 23.1 microns with a standard deviation of 5.3 microns. Another fleece sample was submitted at age 3 to be part of the AOA's EPDs and Abe is maintaining his fineness pretty well. The results on that histogram were slightly better with an AFD of 22.9 microns and a SD of 5.1. The EPD rankings can be seen by clicking on the EPDs link. Ian Watt Skin Biopsy at 31 months (see the 3rd picture): Density - 66.5 follicles/sq mm S/P Ration - 9.6:1 SAFD - 21.6 microns, SD of 2.7 microns PAFD - 25.5 microns, SD of 3.2 microns S to P Spread - 3.9 microns The density and the secondary to primary spread are both outstanding!<--description-->

Description

Rosey is the product of two outstanding grey producers, WLK Silver Stone and AF Silver Charm. And to top it off, this girl has been exposed to RKR's Little Abe, a beautiful silver grey herdsire whose first four crias on the ground resulted in three greys and one true black! This is an awesome combination if you are interested in breeding grey suri alpacas.
