ESTATES GRAY BEARD Gray Beard is a handsome medium silver-grey male who has luxurious fine handle, bright, long staple length consistent into his legs and underbelly. He is dense with enormous coverage on legs and body. His crimp is everywhere - head, neck, into his legs, and belly. What a joy to work with! I admire his incredible good temperament for being a proven breeder. Gray Beard’s sire is none other than 17x Color Champion and 2x Judge’s Choice Winner, Aussie .38 Special. .38 Special is known to pass on his fine traits of brightness, fineness, density, and uniformity to his offspring. Gray Beard’s dam is true black NeverSummer’s Havana Nocturne, and in our Foundation Herd. Havana and Aussie .38 Special were on Carol Collins grey breeding program. Havana is a sister to NeverSummer's Black Ice, 2008 Futurity Color Champion and International Supreme Champion. Blue Ribbon Progeny on the Ground! Gray Beard’s 2017 daughter, Estates Silver Calliope just won 1st Place at the 2018 Rockton Fair Alpaca Show! Proudly co-owned with Kathy McConnell of Hubbert Farms (Canada). Gray Beard is currently residing at Hubbert Farms in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.
