Congratulations to Ray and Lisa Revard of Elk Creek Alpacas on your purchase of Zephyr!
I know you will love his fun personality as much as we do! His color is still changing as a yearling and it will be fun to see what color he finally decides to be! Lots of opportunity with this guy as your future herdsire!!

*March 2021 update*
Zephyr has been in a coat for most of the winter due to his fall birthdate and smaller size, so imagine my surprise when I removed it last week and saw what was REALLY underneath.....
This boy is absolutely amazing!! In the past month his fleece development has just exploded! He has wrinkles galore and his fleece is as cool and greasy as it gets. You really have to see it and feel it to appreciate just how nice he is. His DENSITY and lock structure is fantastic and the LUSTER--Oh my gosh!!!!! I feel he has one of the top fleeces produced on our farm so far. We are expecting great things from Zephyr--he is going to be a spectacular male!! Check out his new pics!

With a dam named September Storm, Zephyr gets his name from the warm, westerly wind that was blowing on the day he was born. Very fitting!

Zephyr was our last cria of 2020 and # 7 male out of 8 crias for the year! Although we were sort of hoping for a female with this one, we are loving this little male!!! He is a mini-me of his momma and oh so independent. We actually had to pen he and mom, Stormy, together for several days in the beginning, because they both wanted to go their separate ways. He was eating hay and attempting to eat grain at 2 weeks old. No slowing this guy down...he is ready to be a grown up!

Zephyr's sire, Kamikaze, is a multicolored fancy male with a great show career behind him. Kaz, as he is affectionately referred to, is a multiple blue ribbon winner. He is also a proven producer of multi-colored offspring and especially greys!

Zephyr's dam, Stormy, is a 2012 PAOBA blue ribbon girl out of WRSR Mercury Rising's Marauder--a full Peruvian, rose grey- a rare combination! Marauder started out fawn with lighter vicuna type markings, which was apparently passed on to Stormy. Stormy has grey genetics in her background and has produced a grey cria in the past. Perhaps Zephyr will follow suit and pass on grey as well!

While his parents may be virtually unknown at this point in time, don't be fooled; these are two hidden gems and they have produced a masterpiece!

We think this combination of genetics is looking spectacular so far! Zephyr has developed beautiful fawn fleece that is fine, dense and lustrous. Both parents are ribbon winners--he could be too!
