Wow, Wow, Wow! It is so much fun to own this Future Herdsire! We were just surfing the Internet in January 2005 when we stumbled across the listing for Silver Celebration, at that moment we new that Silver had to join our team here at Hilltop. We thought Silver was the next piece in our puzzle. We were so excited that Jeff and Beth Kressin of Alpacas of Ohio agreed to sell us ½ interest in this elite animal and allowed us to come along for the ride.

What a ride it has been, he has been judged by the best in the world, Amanda VandenBosch, Julio Sumar, Jude Anderson, Mike Safely and Tim Lavan, Kristen Burhman, Shannon McConnell, Ruth Elvstad and Kevin O'Leary. Mike Safley and Julio Sumar made it a point to say in their orals that Silver has the best grey fleece they have seen in the Country. Shannon McConnell Made it a point to rave about our winner several times throughout the OABA Alpaca Fest. In his first show season Silver racked up 10 Banners, at the largest and most prestigious shows in the nation. It doesn't end there, he has won 4 Bred and Owned's and 2 Judge's Choice in Fleece Shows. All of those wins are over all colors, amazing!

All the hulabalu is justified, mind boggling density, elite crimp, blinding luster and 17.5 micron softness at 1 year old. He has the most complete fleece we have ever seen on any animal regardless of color. As far as confirmation goes he is huge boned, has super balance, perfect bite and totally straight lines. We know with all of the adjectives flying around you must think that we are exaggerating but when you lay your eyes and your hands on this dude you will see why we are so excited to own a part of him.

He gets all this quality from his amazing parents, Grey Herdsire Extraordinaire, Shaquille, just purchased by Riverside Alpacas for $310,000 is his illustrious Sire. And his Dam is a black Silvino daughter owned by Alpacas of Ohio.
