Co-Owned with Terry Passanante of Clover Bottom Alpaca Ranch! I watched this guy blow through the show season in 2015 and 2016, championship after championship. A modern grey outshining a typically highly competitive grey class to win over and over again - thirteen times! He won championship classes with 40+ animals in them!! His birth farm, Faraway Farm Alpacas, described him like so: "From the day he was born, we knew this boy was exceptional with his tightly curled popcorn fleece that was gray on the inside and consistently fine, long stapled and with crimp down his legs and under his belly. It wasn’t until his first shearing that his color was fully revealed: a rich dark rose gray." Sired by the amazing Futurity Champion, Crystal Spartan the 2010 Futurity Brown Male Color Champion winner. 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 absolutely lived up to his name and continues to wow the judges. His crias have been amazing and are top show winners. We have a handful of his crias for sale from our 2024 birthing class, take a look at them, you will not be disapointed! If you are looking for excellence in Modern Grey or just EXCELLENCE, Silver Lining might be your guy!

Serendipity is an easy keeper that has bred, carried, birthed and nursed with no issues. Her dam's line has been strongly maternal, all good breeders with a propensity to produce girls (all been modern greys). Her granddam and great-granddam are both modern greys, so Serendipity is 4th generation modern grey on her dam's side. Her sire is our multiple classic rose grey champion stud AutumnSun's Dauntless, son of multiple classic rose grey champion Annual's Bea-2 Bomber, son of multiple classic silver grey champion Aussie .38 Special -- 3 generations of champion grey! Serendipity paired to 13x champion Spartan's Silver - Lining produced a lovely BB girl that we named Joie de Vivre. Black fits right in our program, so we were thrilled. After demonstrating that Serendipity has the black gene, we looked towards breeding her to a classic grey to see if this nod to black genetics would also bring out a classic grey. We bred her to our Reposado (a son of the champion Patron) to promote her grey genetics, but she has pushed her black genetics instead. We welcomed to the world a robust true black boy! For a short while, she stays on our sales list with her boy at her side. As he grows, things may change... SOLD! Congratulations to Kim and Robert Brandsma of Sugar Pike Alpacas!
