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: Skyline's Giselle ARI#
31133890 Medium Fawn Giselle is one of our outstanding production females that has produced THREE gorgeous females for us. We couldn't be happier as these cria have gone on to win impressive awards. Not really a surprise as her Dam is a Light Color Champion and her Sire in the famous Orlando Cloud
Description
Skyline’s Rhiannon is one of the favorite yearlings at our farm. She has an adorable personality, but even better, she has truly amazing fleece. As part of our show string, she was shown three times and received TWO Reserve Color Championships, and a 4th place at AOBA beating out other females who also had exclusively received RCCh placings in previous shows. The judges were just wowed by her fleece. Incredibly bright, crimpy and fine! Rhiannon’s 2013 fiber stats just came in: 19.6 AFD, 3.8 SD, 19.4 CV, 1.1 %>30u. You’ve got to love these stats, especially the SD and CV!
All of this is no surprise given her genetics. Her Sire is ATV Silver Elation, our LSG male that is making quite a name for himself as he continues to sire multiple Color Champions. Her Dam is Skyline’s Giselle who is a product of our Light Fawn Color Champ, Canelita, and Orlando Cloud. Giselle continually produces awesome cria for us, and so far only girls!
We aren’t really anxious to sell Rhiannon given her incredible show record and genetic background, but we’ve decided to offer one of our best as Giselle just gave us yet another adorable female cria, and we do own both Dam and Sire so can repeat this breeding next year. Rhiannon is part of the 2014 Priority Auction (see website for updates).
