This is a nice grey guy! Besides his cute factor, he is so nice to handle that he was used to film a Bud light commercial and we have taken him to public events. He was also just featured on live TV in San Diego & he hasn't kicked or spit - how's that for bragging rights lol. Not sure on permissions to use their photos so check it out yourself on Tonight in San Diego facebook or website.
This guy throws grey even when bred to beige! He has had both a medium silver grey & a dark silver grey offspring. Very slim chances of producing grey out of a beige dam with no grey in her background but, were we glad we took the chance. Low and behold a stunning medium grey female that still looks like a walking doll! He has had 3 girls and one boy, a very dark silver tuxedo -just beautiful too!
When we got Caleb at about 4-years-old, the shearer remarked how nice and fine he was and was pleasantly surprised at his age. He looked like he was shearing through a beautiful light cloud and we never have to worry about making the minimum weight when sending his fleece for processing. We should have sent his histogram in then, but at just over 5-years of age for a grey breeding male, his histogram is 23.7 microns with nice uniformity! We have had his fleece processed to yarn and all 7 skeins of 3-ply turned out nice and sold out. Grey being rare, tends to sell fast!
His prior owner had shown him and he took a 3rd in his class and I realized it was against the top contenders like Amber Autumn and Renaissance Ridge. Also check out his sire, Silvercloud Farm's Spinx over at Alpacas of Anza Valley. He and his progeny are still winning awards.
We truly like this guy a lot but since he is returned from breeding to girls in San Diego, and we won't be breeding him any more we are offering him for sale. He would love to have some more dates or just be a companion or take over his board and keep him here at Alpacas of Windy Hill. Contact us for more info.
