Alpaca , Huacaya , Herdsire (Male) |Light Silver Grey
AOA# 1430462 | DOB: 12/14/2004
Sire: Patagonia's Neruda
| 1430462 | Medium Silver Grey |
We bought Patagonia's Neruda at the 2007 Futurity Show and Sale and he is now part of our group of elite Herdsires. His previous owners at Alpacas de la Patagonia considered him one of their top three herdsires. Patagonia reserved those herdsires for client use only and as a result, outside breedings to Neruda have ALWAYS been restricted. He was "a cornerstone of their black and grey breeding program" giving them their "FINEST black and grey fleeces that are virtually free of medullated fiber". At 8 years of age his histogram is 23.1m/5.3sd/22.9cv/9.2%>30. Neruda's crias are easily identifiable by their extremely fine fleeces, beautiful heads, substantially thick bone and extensive fiber coverage. With more than 120 crias on the ground, Neruda has proven that when bred to black or grey females, 96% of the resulting offspring have been black or grey in color.
Neruda's sire Shackleton, a black male brought from Chile, was for many years one of the finest fleeced males found i
Dam: Patagonia's Chilena
| 1430462 | Light Silver Grey|
Chilena is a striking light silver-grey dam, with a very fine fleece and beautiful head. Her 2003 histogram at nearly 2 years of age was 19.2m: 4.4m S.D.: 23.0% C.V.: 3.2%>30. We were very excited to purchase this award winning grey from Patagonia in 2003. Her notable awards are: 1st place All-American Futurity 2002, and 1st place and Grey Female Champion AOBA 2002. Chilena was bred to Patagonia’s Neruda, another stunning light silver-grey, and delivered a very handsome and fine-fleeced light silver-grey male cria in December '05. Chilena was bred to Patagonia's Kaspa for an early Spring 2006 cria, producing a spectacular Rose Grey female. Please visit our web site for the most up-to-date information about her crias and current breeding.
Details
Skyline Alpacas Silver Prance has been producing some very nice cria for us. He is passing on his exceptional fineness and outstanding head. We are hoping to use him more this coming year as we LIKE what we see. This isn’t a surprise given his award winning parents, Chilena, AOBA Color Champion, and Neruda, one of Patagonia’s best, selling for over 200K.
