Sire: Neversummer's US Steel

35423997<--ari-->Medium Silver Grey<--color-->Neversummer’s US Steel - 2018, 2017 and 2016 Herdsire of the Year! So very fine! Steel also inherited his sire's trademark silky handle. As he matured, Steel's uniformity and retained fineness brought him to the very top of his extremely competitive classes in the ring. The judges consistently commented on his extreme fineness and soft handle and now his histogram numbers fully support this. Steel is a handsome male with an excellent breeding background and has matured into an elite macho, who has produced champion offspring of his own! Steel's dam, Crescent Moon's Starbright is a lovely Rayo Del Sol daughter who was a blue ribbon winner and a reserve champion in the ring herself. She was a gentle female and proved to be a topnotch breeder and mother. At 6 yrs of age, Starbright's fleece was still 21 microns. Steel continued his show career just months before his 3rd birthday at the 2012 Futurity placing 1st in a competitive class under judge Peter Kennedy. At the 2012 GWAS he was 1st and Reserve Color and the oldest male in his class at 34.7 months and Judge Jude Anderson commented on his fineness, uniformity of color and beautiful fleece character that is still being retained at his age. This is truly remarkable for a male just shy of 36 months to be so competitive in a class of 48 grey males! The color champion was rose grey, so Steel was the best silver grey male at this show! Just for fun, we brought Steel out again in 2013 for a local show- The International Alpaca Odyssey where he was 1st in both Cottage and Commercial grey classes, and Color Champion in the IAO Cottage Division. Although winning and ribbons are fun and good, but the true test of a great herdsire is in his offspring. Once more Steel continues to shine both in the brightness, fineness and soft silky handle of his offspring's fleece as well as the beautiful look he stamps on each offspring.

Congratulations and thank you to Dr. Kitt Hollister, of Howling Hill Farm, for her purchase of NeverSummer's Rusted Ruthie! Ruthie's dam was our rock solid female "Louisa". At 15 years of age Louisa still bred, carried, birthed and nursed with the greatest of ease. We feel that these qualities are very undervalued in our industry. Ruthie's sire is NeverSummer's Spellbound, a super dense, typey, deep maroon Silver Charm son. Spellbound was a SWRAS Color Champion and a 2nd Place Futurity winner. His fleece had a lovely, soft handle and everyone who put their hands on him would comment on it. When Ruthie's dam, Louisa, was bred to .38 she produced Abigail, a lovely female with an absolutely luscious, soft-handling fleece. Abigail received several blue ribbons and 3 championships at shows. Not bad for a 15-year-old dam! Offspring: Ruthie bred just one time to .38 as a maiden to produce her first offspring, NEVERSUMMER'S WOODROW in 2011. Woodrow's 9-month histogram was 14.2, 2.5, 17.7, 0.2% !! On 8/22/12, Ruthie gave birth to NEVERSUMMER'S AMERICAN GRAFFITI, a stunning US Steel son. Graffiti won a blue ribbon for fleece at the MOPACA Invitational Alpaca Show in 2016. On 9/17/2013, Ruthie had ESTATES RAZZLE DAZZLE, a good looking dark rose grey male cria sired by Neversummer's US Steel. On 9/17/2014, Ruthie had ESTATES SPELLBOUND, a handsome light rose grey male cria sired by Neversummer's US Steel.
