32736366 Medium Silver Grey Congratulations and thank you to James and Ichi Kwon, of Sunny Alpacas, for their purchase of Ike!
~ PERUVIAN TRUE EYE CANDY "IKE" ~ NEW GENETICS FOR THE SELECTIVE BREEDER
Eye Candy, known as Ike, is a mature silver-grey male producing stunning foundation females at Alpaca Country Estates. We have been very thankful to have him as a herdsire for many years. We are thrilled to have such an outstanding stud in our grey breeding program!
In his younger years Ike was the best grey male around. His miraculous grey fleece checked all the boxes. His fleece, year after year, continued to win banners. Ike's advanced Judge's Choice fleece, which scored 87 points - puts him in a very small class of elite classic gray herdsires. In halter, he was awarded Color Champion at arguably the toughest halter show in the country, the Futurity. He also took an AOA Grey Reserve Championship with over 40 grey males competing. He is a nine-time champion! Judged to be superior in quality, by senior judges, in both halter and fleece shows. This is the mark of an elite male.
Please see his fleece score card pictured here.
Scores such as these are rarely awarded to alpacas of any color.
His first three shearings each won at least one championship - proving lasting quality.

Ike has fantastic lineage as the son of 6x Champion MFI Peruvian Candyman. His Dam, KVR’s True elegance is also a banner winner. On the topside of Ike’s pedigree, it doesn’t appear to carry much grey, however it contains five generations of grey producing ancestors going all the way back to importation. On his bottom side, it is six generations of grey producing ancestors. Ike himself is producing grey in 52% of his offspring.
SIRE OF NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
Ike has already produced National Champions in both Black and Gray! With the addition of many new herdsires at ACE, this 9x champion male is ready to grace new pastures.

Description
Alpenglow’s Calligraphy is a Medium Rose Grey Beauty
She is an Avatar and KVR’s Peruvian True Eye Candy cross, they are the top of the Greys and she is no exception! Calligraphy’s fleece has a lustrous shine, crimpy from head to toes, and dense. She has a great conformation, a long-staple, and perfect bite.
Her first cria was a truly amazing medium rose grey male named Grey Enough’s Xavier (ARI # 35080817) from Grey’s Enough. This cria is truly amazing and has similar qualities to both dam and sire.
Calligraphy was bred back to Grey’s Enough and had a gorgeous medium fawn female! This cria was born on August 31st, 2020 and her crimp is fantastic! We named her Eloquence and we cannot wait to see her dominate in the show ring for her new owners!
