Talon
has an award-winning fiber that is just outstanding! It's incredibly
dense, with amazing character and high-frequency, tight, even crimp (from skin to his tips), fineness and luster! Add to that an absolutely
even in color, spot-free blanket! Talon is the picture-perfect grey.
Just recently (Summer, 2010) Talon, at the Alpaca Festival of Oregon, took the Reserve Color Championship for his fleece, with 16 alpaca in the competition, juvi's and yearlings included. Amanda VandenBosch judging, gave him a 19 out of a 20 point score for fineness and handle, commenting "good eveness on fleece!"
Talon himself is over 5 years of age! An amazing win = amazing fleece!
At another competition, Judge
Wade Gease placed him third and added that the three top placing males
all were quite even (First place winner was A.L Paca's Revolution) and
that he actually preferred Talon's fleece. Talon placed third due to
his adult teeth coming in, and Judge Gease said that with males so
close he had to start to look for things in order to place them.
Judge after judge comment on his build, and very even crimpy fleece! With Colorado genetics, and 12 grey's in his ARI, he's will likely
add some great quality to your grey or colored breeding program! Talon
has one of the nicest personalities of an adult male alpaca. He's a true public relations Champ, coming up close to us, and many of our visitors. We
are currently continuing to offer a low introductory breeding fee. Meet this future "Get-of-Sire Winner"!    |
