First Place Grey Juvenile Male IAO 2010 Sired by 14X Champion Mile High Deacon Grey, out of Champion black female FDA Mona Lisa, Silver Blade offers highly sought after black and grey genetics: The Reverend Mr. Black, Accoyo Caligula, Bueno, Sinopsis Nocturna, Accoyo Victor, Onyx, Accoyo Cahuide and more. "Blade's fiber coverage is excellent, exhibiting soft handling and even grey fleece with a long silky staple. Superb substance of bone, compact proportions along with great style." -- Amanda VandenBosch Blade's cria are exceptional, each an improvement over the dam. He is consistently producing fine fleeced cria with desireably handsome pheonotype. And color? Oh my! Grey out of brown, black out of fawn, bay black out of bay black, dark brown out of fawn, grey out of black. As different as each of his cria look from a distance, side by side they are all little clones of their sire... each one vigorous and proud. Blade's AFD as a cria was 18 micron, and he's maintained that fineness at 19 micron in his past three shearings. His blanket is solid medium grey, almost blue in color, without spot. His offspring have no spots. We have his fleeces commercially spun each season... his gorgeous soft skeins are the first to sell out! Do you want to add fine silky fleeces, stunning color and textbook conformation to your herd? Reserve your Silver Blade breeding today!

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.

2020 BIOPSY RESULTS: 79.3 /mm 2nd highest density in a gray male tested by Ian Watt as of 2020! 12.7:1 SP Comments: Very good density with good uniformity both within and between each fiber population. Holy Smoke is a name from a famous horse that we have patiently waited to use on the right male. Smoky was born while we were evacuating due to a fire, along with his color, genetics and stand out fleece he earned this privilege. Smoky's sire has proven himself to be a maker of champions and Smoky is no exception. He has his sire's dense bright and uniform fleece with a resemblance in phenotype and markings that leaves no question who his sire is. Smoky's dam is a champion herself as well as a maker of champions. Daphne has had 4 cria, all of them gray, all of them have championed. So Smoky was destined to be a super star! Proudly co-owned with Sunny Alpacas!
