Argenta Alpacas

Description

This is the first cria born on our farm in 2009. We picked out his mom, Cimarron Shadow, who was bred to MFI Toledo. Boy did we hit the jackpot. This boy has coverage from his eyes to his toes. Granite has sure grown into a wonderful boy. He has beautiful grey fleece that is very crimpy with good staple length. He has complete coverage from his eyes to his toes. He has the same gorgeous typey head like his dad, Champion Gray MFI Toledo of Whispering Willows in Indiana.

Granite After winning Color Champion at 2012 TXOLAN several spinners came over to check him out. Comments were "His fleece is like butter, unbelievably soft". Both his 2011 and 2012 fleeces have sold to spinners.
