5X Champion! Argento is a striking young male! He is a gray son of FTAF's Blackbeard (2019 Futurity Herdsire of the Year) and grandson of our Grand River Columbo. His conformation is spot on. He has a beautiful head. His fiber is very fine with excellent architecture. He exhibits very good density. As one walking fleece judge stated. "There really isn't much to improve on here. He is lovely." We agree! He really is a full package. His bloodline is impressive. Blackbeard, Buccaneer, Pot of Gold & Royal Inca Legend! His dam brings in Columbo, Rincon Cloud & Rayo Del Sol. Lots of gray and color. He just brought home the Reserve Championships from the Michigan show in both halter and walking fleece against some very tough competition! Argento is showing well. He just earned another blue and Reserve in the Buckeye Fall Fest. Argento took 2 blue and 2 Color Champions at a double show - Rail Splitter Show and Illinois Alpaca and Fiber Festival under Judges Sharon Loner and Peter Kennedy. LIMITED 5 BREEDINGS AT $500 then his stud fee will increase. We have sold all 5 of the limited breedings at $500 and Argento has started breeding! We have a Certified Fiber Sorter sort our 2020 shearing and Argento scored VERY well. His blanket at 3 years old is a grade 2! The Secondary to Primary ratio is high. A 9 out of 10 on luster, 9 out of 10 on uniformity of crimp and high frequency crimp! Update: Argento is now proven! Proudly Co-owned with Houchin Family Alpacas and Acadiana Alpacas, LLC

A blue ribbon winner who has made the same. This girl breeds and births easily. She has been bred to Argento. This should be a show quality cria for sure. Fredi delivered a beautiful little boy. Lots of fleece on this guy. He has been robust from day one and is quite the character. See Archangelo on our page. She delivered unassisted and is an excellent mother. Fredi will come with a breeding to any available herdsire on our farm including E Pluribus Unum!

Description

Archangel known as Archie is one of our favorite 2020 cria and our first Agento cria! He did not disappoint! He has a very stocky frame loaded with dense fiber. His fiber is fine. He is black but is one of those cria that could possibly turn gray. His sire is our Just Smittens Argento a 5X Champion who has very fine beautiful gray fleece. His lineage includes FTA's Blackbeard and Grand River Columbo as grandsires. Also included are The Buccaneer, Pot of Gold, and Rincon cloud. His dam brings in the genetics of Baron Von Hershey, Lethan Weapon, Accoyoy Titan, Peruvian Ion and Peruvian Guellermo. Some of the best! He is packed full of personality and always in the middle of everything. We had not named him yet when I posted a picture of him on Facebook and someone commented that the white marking on his face looked like angel wings, hence the name Archangel. As you can see in his photos though his wings are usually soiled! This guy will be on the 2021 show string. We have high hopes for him. Archie has grown into a nice sturdy male. His fleece is fine with a bold crimp. He is now classified as indefinite as he has light fibers showing in his fleece. Given his gray sire this is not a surprise. I suspect that bred to a gray female he could produce gray offspring. He has a very macho personality but is good on halter and still maintains his curious nature. We love him.
