Tough decision but we are offering Annual’s Chrome Finish for sale. Add this awesome genetic line to your herd!! He will not disappoint! Take a look - ALL of his offspring have sold!! Wow! Annual's Chrome Finish is a show stopper! Wonderful dense, crimp, long staple fleece on this powerhouse body! Solid bone! Awesome typey head! Look at the genetics on Chrome Finish- the famous Orlando Cloud and incredible Beatriz! Both have given the world first class champions and we truthfully expect the same with Chrome Finish! Chrome Finish is throwing very nice cria for us and our customers. Quite pleased with his offspring and thus, he gets the nod to be one of our top herdsires. His three crias for PJA in 2018 are all GREY!! 2019 was a wonderful year for Chrome's offspring......all of the new crias born this year look awesome. Mostly grey and female! We are in love with all of them! Annual's Chrome Finish stands stud at Pleasant Journey Alpacas in Hesperus, CO

Gwendolyn

Columbine Ranch Gwendolyn

HuacayaOpen (Female)Light Fawn
AOA# 32191523DOB: 7/18/201311 yrs
Gwendolyn suprised us all when she was born to true black Aardwolfs Peruvian Trinity, and Kokopelli's Song Desperado, a classic dark silver grey male with a predominately grey background. Gwendolyn was born lt fawn with a classic gray color pattern, including white legs and chest, and a darker fawn "crown"! We were again surprised at this years shearing, Gwendolyns fleece was full of red brown fibers, consistently throughout her blanket. Whatever her color, her fleece is typical of the Trinity line, dense, crimpy, bright and wonderful to put your hands in. She is a strong boned long legged girl, who is fast becoming the watchdog and protector her mother taught her to be. Update 2016: Gwendolyn had a stunning fawn male cria that was up and walking after only 10 minutes. He nursed immediately and set out to explore the world, with mom anxiously trying to keep up with him. Hence his name Marco Polo. Gwendolyn is a great mom, very dedicated and always nearby to watch over her cria, which isnt always easy. Marco is just like his dam, a fawn with some dark fibers in his fleece, and the same classic color pattern. Since Gwendolyn seems to be trying hard to produce gray, we decided to help her a bit this year. She is now bred to Annuals Chrome Finish, a classic light silver gray Orlando Cloud son. We cant wait to see what she surprises us with this year! UPDATE!! 2017: Gwendolyn gave us a dark silver gray boy!! This cria is colored like his grandsire Desperado, with an almost black tuxedo pattern. He was up immediately, and running in 30 minutes. He is into everything and by his 2nd day had escaped twice, through gaps in the gates. It didn't bother him at all to be alone away from his mother and he was on the driveway when we found him. (Gwendolyn however, was climbing the fence!) We have already had interest from another farm in a future breeding. Gwendolyn is selling as a fiber girl and herd watch dog. She is not a breeder. She is every bit the herd protector her mother is, and is first to the fence to defend her herd. She still has fabulous fiber and should have for years to come.

Description

I knew Gwendolyn was capable of gray, and with the help of Chrome, we got one! Finn is a classic dark silver gray. Born almost black and white, he is lightening up a bit this year to show his true silver gray colors. He is long and elegant like his dam, very mild mannered and easy to handle, with fine, long, crimpy fleece like his sire. He is tall, and beautifully proportioned. He was up and running within 30 minutes of birth, and has never stopped. The day after he was born he was found wandering around the driveway, after squeezing between a gate and post, fearlessly exploring his new world. Finn carries lots of gray in his background, along with noble show stopping bloodlines. He will make a great foundation herdsire!
