Silver Angel of Island Alpaca
ARI#: 32755732
Heritage: 1/2 Peruvian, 1/2 Chilean
Color: Light Silver Grey
Silver Angel has won four First Place ribbons so far for 2016!
Silver Angel is one not to miss when anyone comes to visit the farm. Silver Angel, just like her sisters and brother: Angelica, Angelito, Anika, and Penelope look just like their dam Angelina, a champion and blue ribbon winner.
She's a gorgeous young alpaca with a beautifully tight crimped and very bright classic silver grey fleece. It's very fine and has great uniform! It also lacks many of the black fiber you see mixed in with grey fleece. Her fleece is absolutely beautiful!
Silver Angel, just like all of her siblings and dam, have an almost perfect phenotype! They have great conformation with a strong frame, they are thick-boned, have impressive top-knots, nice thick short muzzles, and overall a beautiful and pleasing look. Angelina seems to have very strong genetics! Her sire is Magic's Talon who has won a champion and multiple blues.
She's a very sweet and patient girl who loves to be out in the pasture and spend time with her best friend, Lotus. She's very easy to handle and is one eye-catching alpaca!
Currently Silver Angel is due for a June 2017 cria, sired by Revelation (Double Dee Revelation)!

Nice level on that top line. She's really carrying a really nice fineness relative to her age. Really good rate growth as well as the organization. She's still carrying that, so it's always pleasing to see that as they grow older."
