Faith and Fleece Alpacas

Second place winner

Zion of Zendaya

Gorgeous guy! We bred this guy's dam and his granddam to the same fine-fleeced grey sire, 4-Sight's Crawford and we knew that if they each had the same sex we would have to make a judgement call on who to keep. Especially when as you would guess, they both had boys.

We decided Zion may be a keeper though his more than half-brother in relation is absolutely stunning also. Zion's color appears rose grey mixed with silver at the skin. Absolutely love, love the color; a bright taupe, crimpy, fine fleece inside. While I intended to get a nice fleece shot on this guy - the fleece off of him was still pretty impressive.

We decided to enter him in upcoming fall shows just to see what judges say. He handled surprisingly well. When we entered the ring for his halter we saw all the long time big breeders and were almost floored when we received a 2nd place above the others! Zion has nice conformation and was commended for having a long staple length. Since he was calm and cooperative on a halter the following weekend we used him for photo opportunities for a public event. He was naturally photogenic and really behaved quite amazing all day.

We were hoping to keep him around to see if he continues to grow and develop well but honestly we have many of these similar genetics throughout our herd. Let us know if you are interested in more information on Zion.
