Manifestation was such an awesome cria that we had to give him a name he would grow into - and boy has he grown into it! "Does he have any dates yet? Because he should!" commented Kevin O'Leary at 2012 Nationals. "He grew up, but his micron didn't," was only one of the enthusiastic comments from Wade Gease at the 2012 Buckeye Show. Amanda VandenBosch presented his 2013 Best of the U.S. Blue commenting, "He's cool and he knows it!" Manifestation has also won Blue under Nick Harrington-Smith and Jill MacLeod. His amazing bone, incredible presence, and awesome head is set off by a soft, dense, crimpy, luscious fleece you would never expect to see in grey and with very few spots except the beautiful brown heart he wears. Manifestation's staples are so consistent you can barely tell the cut end from the tip and carry a wonderful hand, all evidenced by his 2012 Nationals Spin-Off Blue Ribbon. To top it all off, Mani has a gentle personality and is just plain cute! Confirming his genetics, his sister, Storybook Princess, took National Champion in 2012 after many other Blues and Championships. His dam has been a fantastic mom who our vet refers to as a "milk cow." While the heritage of an alpaca may not be as critical as the fleece it produces, Manifestation’s pure Peruvian bloodlines provide a special niche if you want to stand out from the crowd. He is the only known full Peruvian grey Huacaya male to have taken Championships in three consecutive years (2011 - 2013) still taking blue at 2014 Nationals and Reserve Champion in 2015 Best of the US at almost 5 years old. Manifestation just keeps getting better with crias now showing what he can throw. He’s the manifestation of our breeding program. What would a little Manifestation look like in yours? Mani is now available for purchase individually or with one of our grey breeding packages. He's always been in his element in the show ring and still stands just as proudly in the pasture.

Gracie came to Storybook Alpacas with her cria, Manolito. A regal princess for sure, she fit right in with the rest of the royal cast of characters at the farm. Gracie was chosen to enhance our grey breeding program as she seems the perfect match for Manifestation. She has an elite fleece that is very fine, soft, bright and extremely dense. As a show girl, Gracie walked away with Blue and Reserve Champion at her first show with Julio Sumar’s comment, “She’s the Perfect Package.” Gracie continued to show with a record of 11 first’s, 6 Color Championships and 1 Reserve Championship. Once her show ring days were complete, Gracie went on to grace Stan and Laura Sikut of S&L Alpacas with beautiful, award-winning crias including the 10X Champion, S&L Peruvian Shades of Grace. With that kind of record, it seemed Gracie would be the perfect princess to pair with our 8X Champion Herdsire, Manifestation and it has proven true. Their first cria is the gorgeous grey, Knight of Grace (Because every story needs a Knight in shining armor!) Thank you to Faye Farley of Majestic Meadows Alpacas for the purchase of this beautiful boy. Because of your generosity, the Nazarene Fund was able to help save Christians from genocide in Syria. The same Gracie/Mani pairing produced the gorgeous grey 4th of July female, Firecracker who is now available for purchase. Gracie now has an adorable black male cria at side.
