Nova's Twilight
ARI#: 851112
Heritage: Peruvian and Chilean
Color: Bay Black
Twilight is a presence on the pasture, very big-boned, and statuesque.
Her lineage leaves little to be desired, Sired by Snowmass Nova and Shadz of Midnight.
She
is an attentive mother, a terrific milker, and has given us beautiful,
healthy cria without event. Each one was over 18 pounds at birth with
very strong IgG levels.
Her maternal, half-sister, Snowmass Midnight's Gold had a cria that was the highest selling maiden female in the world, for its time in the last ten years.

Magic's Talon
ARI#: 30321649
Heritage: Full Chilean
Color: Medium Silver Grey
Each of Talon's first offspring took either a first place, Blue Ribbon and/or a Color Championship, to include September, 2010 at the Big E Alpaca Show. Lunette, (Seven alpaca in her class) took a
first-place blue ribbon, and even more outstanding, a color champion
banner for all browns with over twenty alpaca in total. Once again,
Lunette took the blue in the "Bred and Owned" class, showing in a class
of fifteen -up against the best of the best, including
white blue ribbon winners! Very, very impressive for a brown! Talon's Purl, another offspring from 2009, took a blue, first place win, in her class of grey yearlings.
Kudo's
to Talon-with award-winning fiber that is just outstanding - which we
know now, he passes along to his offspring! 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.
Talon, at the Alpaca Festival of Oregon, 2010, took the Reserve Color Championship for his fleece, with 16 alpaca in the competition, ten juvi's and
yearlings included. Talon was the oldest with the exception of one
competitor. Impressive for five years of age! Show results found here.
Amanda VandenBosch judging, gave him a 19 out of a 20 point score for fineness and handle, commenting "good evenness on fleece!" An amazing win = amazing fleece = amazing herd sire!
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 won first for his fleece at the Green Mountain Fall Spectacular
of 2012! Judge commented, "Exhibiting good fineness, handle and
character. Excellent!"
