31118149 Light Silver Grey One of Silver Elation’s yearling daughters, Sheer Heaven, achieved Grey Color Champion at the 2021 Alpaca Western Extravaganza show! Also one of his Juvenile daughters got a 2nd place in the Juv. Light Silver Grey class at the same show. Also previously many of his offspring have won blue ribbons and championships.
Silver Elation is a rare dilute silver gray with an incredibly soft, well bundled and consistent fleece without any spots. This male was born with a distinct Classic Silver Gray pattern which all but disappeared as his fiber dried. Every person who has seen him has been impressed by this amazing fleece that appears platinum in color with white in the neck, bib, face and legs.
When we took him to two very competitive shows in 2008, he was put into an indefinite class which did not allow him to show appropriately but he still won the Blue Ribbons.
Originally, I Proudly Co-Owned him with ALPACAS of Tualatin Valley! But now I completely own Silver Elation. You will get full ownership of him with this purchase!
Many of Silver Elation’s cria , have won 1st place and Gunsmoke won 1st and Reserve Color Champ at Alpacapalooza 2012 as did Sheer Heaven in 2021.at AWE.
As much as we really love Silver Elation, we do need to downsize our herd. He will be a great addition to your herd.
Oh and some sad news! Which is why I’ve reduced his cost! His knee on his back leg is hurting him and the vet that saw him thought that he could be repaired with a surgery at Oregon State vet hospital! He still has wonderful fleece so that way the $100 price is OK. If you purchase him and get his leg repaired he likely could be a good male again but I’m not completely sure! But for only $100 he is worth that for his fleece! Hope someone is interested in purchasing him! Only reason I’m willing to sell him is I have one of his wonderful males, Palladium! So I will get to keep his genetics!
Dam: Tiara's Crystal ARI#
31364041 Dark Silver Grey Crystal has Sold.
Tiara’s Crystal is, plainly stated, one of our best Grey females on the farm. We purchased her as a cria at side with her Dam, Diamond’s Tiara. This pair was a special purchase not only because Crystal was an outstanding cria, but also because Tiara even at 6.5 years of age still had a beautiful look and fleece; no surprise given her genetics! Crystal’s quality was no surprise either, as she is a Rincon Cloud daughter. Crystal went on to develop into an outstanding adult, winning 3 Reserve Color Championships as a Yearling and producing excellent cria for us. We are proud to have this fine female in our herd.
Description
Skyline’s Gunsmoke is a fabulous Light Silver Grey Male and a product of two of our best Grey alpacas. Gunsmoke’s sire is ATV Silver Elation, who is siring many grey cria and has multiple offspring with Championship ribbons. Gunsmoke was one of these, getting a Reserve Color Championship at the 2012 Alpacapalooza as a juvenile. His Dam is Tiara’s Crystal, a 3X Reserve Color Champ in her Yearling year. She is a Rincon Cloud daughter out of Diamond’s Tiara, another ribbon winning female.
Gunsmoke has now settled his first female and his first little girl was born in June, 2014. We couldn't be happier with his first born! What we love about Gunsmoke is his incredible staple length, his brightness, his crimp, and his density. Looks like his little girl has inherited these traits! Really, one just can’t go wrong selecting a breeding with or purchasing Gunsmoke. Just look at the photo of his 2013 fleece!
