From the moment he was born, we knew this boy was exceptional. His bright, dark rose gray fleece is fine, full of character, with great crimp and architecture. In his first show at North American, as an unshorn cria, he took the blue against some pretty stiff competition. Silver Lining has gone on to win 13 championships and 17 blue ribbons and he hasn't finished yet! Great bloodlines, great fleece and a strong, solid build -- watch for this boy -- he is truly something special. His sire is Crystal Spartan, the 2010 Brown Huacaya Male Futurity Color Champion who has taken five other top Championship banners. His dam, Quarry Ridge Marimba, is a Champion herself and has produced champion offspring. Silver Lining has inherited outstanding characteristics from outstanding parents. Silver-Lining has five crias on the ground and more on the way this fall. Two are modern rose gray and three are true black. Silver Lining will be standing stud at Quarry Ridge Alpacas in Salem, NY from June 1 to October 30 and at Clover Bottom Alpaca Ranch in Clover Bottom, MO from November 1 to May 30. Proudly co-owned with Faraway Farm Alpacas and Clover Bottom Alpaca Ranch UPDATE: CONGRATULATIONS TO TERRY PASSANANTE OF CLOVER BOTTOM ALPACA RANCH FOR THE PURCHASE OF FULL OWNERSHIP OF 13X CHAMPION SPARTAN'S SILVER - LINING. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US RETAIN BREEDINGS TO THIS AMAZING HERDSIRE.
