Well, we knew we had a name for this young boy after just a day or so when in conversation the phrase "Velvet Crushed it this time!!'" came out pretty easily. Sometimes you cross these multiple champion pairs and it really works out like it's supposed to, this is one of those times....
This young boy is off to a roaring start with his fleece, his conformation, his personality, and is just going to be the total package. At his first show, the judges agreed with our suppositions and he was able to bring home 2 banners for us out of his 3 showings. And he has continued to impress at every show thereafter. This is no surprise for us. The lineage of this boy is just amazing on both sides. The sire, Snowmass Best in Velvet, is a Futurity Champion that absolutely proven to be prepotent with champion after champion for years. And his Dam, KCF Isla Saona, is our 11 time champion brown girl from lines with dozens of championships as well. 3 of 4 of Isla's offspring have been spectacular, and all those are champions. This boy has got the goods in spades....
After we get him with a few girls of ours this spring, we will be accepting 5 breedings in 2023 at $1500. Like I mentioned, "he's only headed up from there"....
Update 9/22: Crushed Velvet has gone on to win an additional 5 banners (for a total of 7 during his show career). We will consider a sale (as we have his genetics solidly covered), but serious inquires only please.
Thank you so much to Timm and Helen of Sugartown Farms Alpacas in Ellicottville, NY for your acquisition of Crushed!! We know he will fit right in with your outstanding breeding program!!!!
