Wonderful place to raise alpacas!
Huacaya, Herdsire (Male), Proven | Medium Silver Grey
Skyline Alpacas has added these very desirable genetics to their herd. We are very happy to have him as a new herdsire, and because he is a Silver Elation son, we are now offering Silver Elation for sale!Palladium is sired by Silver Elation whose fleece is akin to a very fine and extremely dense Persian rug. Also, ATV doesn’t go to many shows so he is a hidden treasure producing the next generation of superior silver gray. Silver Elation is giving us great offspring and we are so proud to own him too, but because we need to downsize Sliver Elation is for sale.Palladium's dam was ATV’s favorite foundation female whose 2011 fleece was sorted and scored at Superfine by AFCNA and that was her 7th fleece! Madrigal was definitely one of the best production females with her gentle personality and abundant milk and mothering abilities. She has continually produced top seed stock and the pairing with Silver Elation was ideal.Palladium sports good conformation with super presence and a gorgeous fleece that exhibits both high frequency and high amplitude with fineness and extreme density.We are pleased with this male that was Reserve Champion behind the 2013 AOBA National Champion. His offspring are everything ATV hoped for!Palladium is producing long staple and lovely head in his offspring!Awards 1st. 2013 CABA CLASSIC - JUVENILE GRAY HALTERReserve color champion 2013 CABA CLASSIC - JUVENILE GRAY HALTER
