Thank you to Linda Bat at Delphi Alpacas for allowing us to partner with her in this beautiful male! I am unbelievably honored and excited to be a part of this adventure. I have been a huge fan of Avatar's from the moment I saw and touched his fleece - just ask Linda how many times I begged for an outside breeding!!!! I followed (aka stalked:) him and his wonderful offspring for a very long time and am now thrilled to add him to our herdsire lineup. Avatar has been closed to outside breedings at Delphi Alpacas except to established clients and we will also have the same policy, with one tiny exception. We have to celebrate and to let you in on the celebration, we will offer three outside breedings at a special rate. This "celebration" deal is at Alpaca Annuals and only until July 2014 before he heads back to Delphi. Of course there will be lots of females bred to him and cria available from both farms, but this is your chance to have your own special girl bred with this amazing male. If you want details, please contact me before they are gone.
Avatar has wonderful crimpy, dense and fine fleece, but what truly separates him from the other outstanding herdsires is his phenomenal handle - due only in part to the exceptional uniformity of his fleece.
Cameron Holt, AOBA Senior Judge Trainer and world wide fiber expert, gave the following scores to Avatar's fleece:
Fineness: 15 out of 15 ; Handle: 5 out of 5 ; Uniformity of micron: 7 out of 8 ; Crimp: 8.5 out of 10 ; Density: 3 out of 5 ; Brightness: 8 out of 10 ; Lack of medullation: 8 out of 10. (Scores are given without regard to color).
Avatar's many crias include Futurity and AOBA National Show Champions, several National Fleece Champions, and many many Multi-Champion and Blue Ribbon show winners.

Dam: Skyline's Mahogany Mist ARI#
31612470 Dark Brown Yes, Mahogany Mist is older but she still is a great producer! Purchase her open for $700.00 or we can bred her for a total price of $1,700. Her 2018 cria's birth weight was 20.0# Not bad!
Mahogany Mist is one of our best production females. She has produced multiple blue ribbon winners and has a sweet personality as well. No surprise here as she was one of the last offspring of A of O Silver-Celebration before his untimely death. One of her offspring, Amora was Grey color Champion at the 2016 Alpacapalooza show and went on to sell at the Snow Diamond auction to Majestic Meadows in 2016.
Description
Oh, my! An amazing Medium Rose Grey boy...Avatar and Mahogany Mist were the perfect combination!
Lightning Strike was impressive from the moment he was born and he went on to win 2 blue ribbons in his juvenile year! He started the season in 2013 with a Blue at Alapcapalooza, then ended the season with a Blue at the 2013 AOBA National conference in Denver. Way to go Lightning Strike!
Look at Lightning Strike's 4 year histogram! 21.6 AFD, 4.2 SD, 19.4 CV, 2.9 %>30u
Then like the fine boy that he is!, he settled his first female at 2 years with one breeding! That produced a very well conformed and fine fleeced boy for us! Too bad we had 15 boys that year! We've now rebred him to Layla hoping for another beautiful cria that will be a girl this time! Stay posted!
