2014 Profile, BEAUTIFUL GREY!
Purl (Talon's Purl of Island Alpaca)
Purl won First Place
at the National Champions' Alpaca Fleece Show and the VAOBA Alpaca Expo Spin-Off in 2013! Purl also won First Place
at the Big E in 2010.
Purl is one to watch! A beautiful grey Purl is
with her tremendously fine, bright fleece and quality conformation, we look forward to watching her grow!
With the strong background of her dam Margeaux 's genetics, in addition to her sire Magic's Talon 's substantial bone and excellent conformation we can only predict that she will be one fabulous alpaca.
Her sire is a proud, erect male with just beautiful lines to him, a trait that we can already see in Purl. Talon is the picture perfect grey with a spot-free blanket, and Purl, a tuxedo patterned grey, is almost spot free.
Judge commented on her fleece from Alpacapalooza 2013: "Minimal amount of fleece lost in production. Nice brightness!"
For a new owner, wee would suggest for 2020, that Purl would be bred to our very own Rose Grey Herd-sire Double Dee Revelation !

Each of Talon's first offspring took either a first place, B lue Ribbon and/or a Color Championship , to include September, 2010 at the Big E Alpaca Show. Lunette, (Seven alpaca in her class) took a first-place blue ribbon, and even more outstanding, a color champion banner for all browns with over twenty alpaca in total. Once again, Lunette took the blue in the "Bred and Owned" class, showing in a class of fifteen -up against the best of the best, including white blue ribbon winners! Very, very impressive for a brown! Talon's Purl , another offspring from 2009, took a blue, first place win, in her class of grey yearlings.
Kudo's to Talon-with award-winning fiber that is just outstanding - which we know now, he passes along to his offspring! It's incredibly dense, with amazing character and high-frequency, tight, even crimp (from skin to his tips), fineness and luster! Add to that an absolutely even in color, spot-free blanket. Talon is the picture-perfect grey.
Talon, at the Alpaca Festival of Oregon, 2010, took the Reserve Color Championship
for his fleece, with 16 alpaca in the competition, ten juvi's and
yearlings included. Talon was the oldest with the exception of one
competitor. Impressive for five years of age!
Amanda VandenBosch judging, gave him a 19 out of a 20 point score for fineness and handle, commenting "good evenness on fleece!"
An amazing win = amazing fleece = amazing herd sire!
