Congratulations and thank you to Sonoma Lavender Bnb Farm for their purchase of NeverSummer's Havana Nocturne! NEVERSUMMER'S HAVANA NOCTURNE This gorgeous female has amazing bright,soft, crispy fleece. We will be sad to let her go. Havana is a maternal sister to "International Supreme Champion", NeverSummer's Black Ice. (In the International Show System the "Supreme Champion" is comparable to AOBA's "Judges Choice"! When Dr. Julio Sumar judged Black Ice he called him "a perfect black alpaca". Black Ice was also a Futurity Color Champion. Their dam, NeverSummer's Monsoon, is a lovely CMSG Silver Charm daughter who was a champion winner herself. Havana's sire, Strider is the only known black herdsire to beat every color champion and some multiple color champions, with the exception of one white, at one of Canada's largest shows to receive the Supreme Reserve Championship! Offspring: Just as we'd hoped Havana's first cria, born in 2011, is a herdsire quality, jet black, .38 Special son! Boy is his fiber fine and silky. It was a super easy delivery and Havana had plenty of milk. She's a laid back girl but still attentive - A perfect balance. An excellent dam. Her second .38 Special son, was our 38'S FOUNDRY OF NEVERSUMMER, a gorgeous DB male born in 2012. 38's Foundry of NeverSummer is a multiple blue ribbon winner. We will definitely be watching this handsome guy as a future herdsire. Why mess with success? Havana's 3rd son, ESTATES GRAY BEARD was born in 2013. Gray Beard is a wonderful MSG also sired by 17x Color Champion and 2x Judge’s Choice Winner, Aussie .38 Special. Gray Beard took home a 2nd Place ribbon at the Alpaca Breeders Invitational in 2016. Gray Beard has Blue Ribbon Progeny on the Ground! Havana Nocturne had a rose grey male, sired by Chief Grey Feather, on 10/3/2014. Grey Feather has passed along brightness, fineness and density to each cria that has hit the ground so far! His Royal Lineage Includes Accoyo Legacy, Accoyo Grandmaster, Peruvian Naomi, Peruvian Nome, Peruvian Matador, plus many generations of black and grey genetics.

Description

When we decided to dip our toes into greys we went to Estates in Oregon. Greybeard was one of our top pics, conformation aside, the amount of fine uniform fleece this male produces every year is outstanding. Pound and pounds of it. At 6 years of age he is winning Championships base on the ability to sustain these gorgeous qualities. Gray Beard’s sire is non other than 17X Champion and 2X Judges 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 himself is a handsome medium silver grey male who has luxurious fine handle, bright long staple, consistent into his legs and underbelly. Enormous coverage he is a joy to work with such a sweet temperament for a proven male
