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!

Clementine is a girl who has absolutely bloomed into an impressive female with gorgeous bright bright fleece. Sweet sweet temperament and fabulous mother. She hails from one of my foundation females Empire's Jezebel and Justified. Justified of course was a multi Champion fawn with absolutely noteworthy fiber characteristics. Of course. Jezebel was my first modern grey and she continues to produce that color in amazing fashion when bred to modern... Fine. Strong character. Long staple. Easy mama. Super mild temperament. Clementine had her first cria in summer 2019. The sire was Cupid. The outcome was gorgeous. I bred Clementine back to Silver Lining and she delivered a fawn boy in 2021 - and you may be thinking ... meh... BUT if you could see this little guys fleece. OMG! He might be one of the most organized bright fleeces in the barn... AND his fleece is roan. A fawn roan which is right up my alley. His coverage is crazy. You can look across all 23 kids and his fleece screams.. LOOK AT ME! We did an exploratory Histogram on this guy and it came back at 15.5 micron and 3.7% SD. Be looking for Willow Wind' Sensei in the show ring. Clementine is lined up to be bred to The Shaman for 2023. I am so excited about this boy. We anxiously await.
