Talon (Magic's Talon)
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 (f rom skin to his tips), fineness and luster! Add to that an abs olutely 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! Show results found here.
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!
We are currently continuing to offer a low introductory breeding fee. Meet this future "Get-of-Sire" Winner!

Blue's Magic has two, 2003 and 2004, Color Champion Awards. Magic is a herd sire with correct conformation and excellent presence and attitude. He is extremely dense fibered and strong boned. He has consistent proud crimp and fineness in his fleece, along with complete coverage down to his toes.
He is the offspring of Multi Blue Ribbon Winner Wiki Wiki and silver-grey dam, Darby who has won two Blue Ribbons for her fleece. Quality grey herd sires are hard to find, and Magic has been a top producer. He has Grey and Black in his background on both sides, and an added bonus is his positive personality. Magic has some outstanding cria's on the ground, bringing home ribbons!
