Son of IKE ~ Not breeding for grey
Skyfiber's Ewan
Huacaya, Male, Unproven | Medium Rose Grey
ARI# 35215103, D.O.B. 10/15/2015,
Sire: IKE ~ (KVR's P. True Eye Candy) ARI#
32736366 Light Silver Grey Ike has been judged to be superior in quality, by senior judges, in both 'full fleece halter' classes, and in fleece shows. In terms of showing, we feel this is the true mark of an elite male.
He has received some of the most prized awards attainable in halter shows (where he is judged for both conformation and fleece); and when his fleece alone is presented to the experts, that fleece again receives the highest of commendations.
Ike's awards include a 'Judge's Choice' in fleece (think 'best fleece of all colors') - an extremely rare award for a grey. Please see his score card pictured here. Scores such as these are rarely awarded to alpacas of any color.
All 3 of his shearings have each won at least one championship in a fleece show - proving lasting quality.
In halter, he was awarded Color Champion Grey at arguably the toughest halter show in the country, the Futurity.
He has been awarded 4 halter banners, see his total results below (all showings are listed).
Ike started settling girls when he was just 21 months old.
Please take a peek at his kids below -
Every one is exciting.
I fell in love with Ike at first sight (and feel), at the 2013 Futurity, when he was 7 months old - and I want to say Thank you to Gary Henderson of Keva Ranch Alpacas, for producing Ike, and allowing him to join us here at Delphi.

This is an exceptional price for a girl of this quality bred to Avatar. We need to move just a few more girls before birthing season starts - this could work out nicely for you!
Cochineal gave us a beautiful DRG (or maroon with a tuxedo and grey ears) Avatar daughter in September - we love this little girl. Cochineal is now bred to Avatar, for a cria for you this fall.
Cochineal:
2010: AFD 20.7, SD 4.3, CV 20.8, 3.1% >30
2011: AFD 23.5, SD 5.0, CV 21.2, 6.8% >30
2013: AFD 22.5, SD 4.7, CV 20.9, 5.5% >30
She also has excellent conformation and presence -
Very typey with Great substance of bone and coverage, which she passes along to her kids.
I consider Cochineal to be grey though her blanket is predominantly brown with multiple grey spots. Her neck is grey, and she has her father's general coloration.
Gold Sable, her dam, has a very long staple length with lots of character. Sable won a blue ribbon in her only halter show. And she has P. Augusto, P. King, and P. Gold Rush in her pedigree.
Cochineal has given birth to four cria:
a stunning 7/8 Peruvian true black female, from a breeding with a light fawn full Peruvian;
a beautiful beige male from a breeding with a true black, and a beautiful bay black girl from her breeding with our Zeppelin, and now a DRG little girl, Merise! She has been an excellent mom with lots of milk.
She sells with full reproductive guarantees.
Description
Ewan has outstanding grey genetics in his pedigree, including "IKE"! We do not breed for grey, so Ewan would make a wonderful addition to someone's herd who love grey, especially rose grey.
Ewan has a fine, uniform fleece with nice architecture and soft handle. Ewan had a nice show career, but is ready to go to a farm that loves grey and is ready to use his lovely fiber. His easy going personality would make him an asset to any farm or 4-H program.
