Awakening is co-owned with Brenda Weber of BlueRidge Alpaca Ranch outside of La Crosse, WI. We are thrilled to have Michelangelo's Awakening. He is a show champion and an established sire of champion off-spring. Usually he produces the color of the dam, especially for grey (his dam was grey). His crias are outstanding - fine and dense. Silver Sistine, Sooper Trooper and Tokyo Smoke (at Blue Ridge Alpacas) have brought home blue, purple, and orange ribbons. Come see them and make your decision for your next breedings. You won't be disappointed. Show winnings and Judges comments about Awakening: At Minnesota Alpaca Expo 2014: 1st place out of a class of 8 dark brown juvie males and a Reserve Championship.
