Silver Beech

ARI# 1069020   D.O.B. 9/17/2003  (9 yrs)

Huacaya, Male, Proven | Medium Silver Grey

1/2 Peruvian, 1/2 Chilean

Silver Beech is a proven adult male, a chip off the old block of his well known sire, CPeruvian Silvio, one of Magical Farms premier herdsires. Silver Beech carries on his sire's gorgeous fleece; high frequency crimp, very dense, and with phenomenal coverage. The tips bleach to a light grey in the NC sun, but it is medium grey closer to his body. His blanket area is solid colored. In fact, he has very few spots on him at all. He does have the traditional tuxedo markings on his neck. IF ONLY his top knot had grown back well after shearing!

His dam is also grey, MFI Mercury, who is out of the well known Silver Bullet II. Both Silver's sire and one of his half siblings, the well known My Peruvian Fire N Ice, have thrown predominantly (about 90%!) grey or black cria. Other reknowned half brothers include more herdsires at Magical Farms: MFI Scimitar and Peruvian Sky King.

Silver settled his first female at 21 months of age. His first cria was born in June 2006 out of a white dam. What a beauty.....a rose grey and brown female, beautifully proportioned with a large bone structure. Her fiber came in with density, a medium amplitude crimp & a wonderful handle. His 2nd cria(another girl!) was a true black out of a black dam. #3 arrived on 5/5/07, a silver grey female!! His most recent cria is a true black male. All of his cria have been born without health issues.

Silver was gelded as I wished to move in a different direction with my grey breeding program.
