31237222 Dark Rose Grey 10x Grey Champion | Elite Modern Rose Grey | Influential Herdsire
Spalding was an exceptional herdsire and a true standout in the alpaca industry. A 10x Grey Male Full Fleece Champion, he represented the highest level of quality in modern rose grey alpacas and set a standard for both phenotype and production.
He was admired for his rare and highly sought-after color—modern dark rose grey—with complete uniformity from nose to toes and no white spotting. His fleece was nothing short of outstanding, offering remarkable density, excellent staple organization, and extreme uniformity in both color and fineness, extending well into the neck and legs.
Spalding also excelled in conformation, with a strong, balanced frame and undeniable presence—truly loaded with curb appeal. He was the total package, combining elite fleece traits, structure, and color into one unforgettable male.
His production record further solidified his legacy. With approximately 87% of his registered offspring producing grey and black through 2016, Spalding consistently passed on his desirable color genetics along with his quality fleece and conformation.
Though Spalding passed away in 2021, his influence remains strong. He has left behind numerous outstanding offspring both on our farm and across the country, continuing to carry forward his exceptional genetics.
Spalding was a cornerstone herdsire whose legacy will continue to shape grey breeding programs for years to come. He is greatly missed.

Description
Spalding Son | Grey & Black Producer Potential | Strong Herdsire Prospect
Rowdy is the final son of our 10x Champion modern grey male, Spalding—making him a unique opportunity to carry forward a proven and highly sought-after genetic line. His pedigree is loaded with black and grey ancestors, and these diluted offspring from our grey program have consistently produced strong results in both black and grey.
While blood typing has not yet been completed, Rowdy already shows all the indicators of being a valuable addition for breeders focused on grey and dark color programs. His genetics alone position him well, and his phenotype supports that potential.
Rowdy has a strong, well-built frame with excellent substance and presence. His fleece is dense, uniform, and soft handling, with a very fine crimp style that carries throughout. He also brings a bit of personality to the pasture—spunky, confident, and engaging.
As he continues to mature, Rowdy is expected to develop into a solid herdsire prospect. If you’re looking to tap into Spalding genetics and build toward black and grey outcomes, Rowdy is a young male worth serious consideration.
