10x Grey Champion | Elite Modern Rose Grey | Influential Herdsire
Spalding was an exceptional herdsire and a true standout in the alpaca industry. A 10x Grey Male Full Fleece Champion, he represented the highest level of quality in modern rose grey alpacas and set a standard for both phenotype and production.
He was admired for his rare and highly sought-after color—modern dark rose grey—with complete uniformity from nose to toes and no white spotting. His fleece was nothing short of outstanding, offering remarkable density, excellent staple organization, and extreme uniformity in both color and fineness, extending well into the neck and legs.
Spalding also excelled in conformation, with a strong, balanced frame and undeniable presence—truly loaded with curb appeal. He was the total package, combining elite fleece traits, structure, and color into one unforgettable male.
His production record further solidified his legacy. With approximately 87% of his registered offspring producing grey and black through 2016, Spalding consistently passed on his desirable color genetics along with his quality fleece and conformation.
Though Spalding passed away in 2021, his influence remains strong. He has left behind numerous outstanding offspring both on our farm and across the country, continuing to carry forward his exceptional genetics.
Spalding was a cornerstone herdsire whose legacy will continue to shape grey breeding programs for years to come. He is greatly missed.
