4Peruvian Altiplano Gold Granddaughter!
Silver Angel of Island Alpaca
HuacayaBred (Female)Light Silver Grey
AOA# 32755732DOB: 8/18/201212 yrs
Silver Angel won First Place at the Big E Fleece Show and the Southern Select Alpaca Show Spin-Off in 2015! She also won First Place at the Big E and Green Mountain Alpaca Fall Spectacular Fleece Show in 2014.
Silver Angel is one not to miss when anyone comes to visit the farm. Silver Angel, just like her sisters and brother: Angelica, Angelito, Anika, and Penelope look just like their dam Angelina, a champion and blue ribbon winner.
She's a gorgeous young alpaca with a beautifully tight crimped and very bright classic silver grey fleece. It's very fine and has great uniform! It also lacks many of the black fiber you see mixed in with grey fleece. Her fleece is absolutely beautiful!
Silver Angel, just like all of her siblings and dam, have an almost perfect phenotype! They have great conformation with a strong frame, they are thick-boned, have impressive top-knots, nice thick short muzzles, and overall a beautiful and pleasing look. Angelina seems to have very strong genetics! Her sire is Magic's Talon who has won a champion and multiple blues.
She's a very sweet and patient girl who loves to be out in the pasture and spend time with her best friend, Lotus. She's very easy to handle and is one eye-catching alpaca!
Judge comments:
2016 North American Alpaca Show Judge Helen Testa commented: "She is a really well proportioned female. She's got great substance under her. Really nice substance and really balanced in her frame. Nice level on that top line. She's really carrying a really nice fineness relative to her age. Really good rate growth as well as the organization. She's still carrying that, so it's always pleasing to see that as they grow older."
2016 North East Alpaca Expo Judge Peter Kennedy commented: "This female is very worthy of first place. Conformation is very correct, really balanced. Walked up very squarely. Looking at the fleece, the fleece is very fine for her age and it's quite consistent in micron. Giving it a really soft handling fleece and carries out very well into the extremities. Very worthy first place."?
