AutumnSun's Medal of Valor

Val impressed the judges and competition in her first show, placing 2nd out of 7 but being named the finest in the class by the judge!

She is an excellent mom, attentive, birthing and breeding easily, and nursing well.

Her first pairing was to Rembrandt at the Flying Dutchman Alpacas in Oregon and she produced a bright white and shiny white boy that we cleverly named 'Man in Armour'! This boy had the looks of a Greek god (or a knight in a painting ;) ), and is very fine, dense, and very bright. As she did in her youth, Armour had a lovely fine, crimpy, dense, long fiber that was a pleasure to spin into next-to-skin yarn. He was sold to another farm as a junior herdsire.

Her pairing to our Supermassive produced a white boy that was rock solid and energetic. Even at birth, he had tiny little microbundles in his developing fleece! As the summer progressed, we watched this male bloom and his fiber was fantastic! He drew your eyes from the across the paddock. We kept him but then moved away from breeding for white and lights so he never got the work he should have.

Then, we couldn't help it, we loved the look of Superluminal so we repeated her breeding to Supermassive for a full sister to Superluminal! Love the look of this beautiful white girl, Vanora, and are seriously considering breeding her to dark coloration when she comes of age. This girl grew fast on her dam's abundant milk! Right now, I cannot bear to let Vanora go, as I MUST try to breed her to color to see what she makes for us! For that matter, I am going to breed Val to color as well!

I really considered keeping this girl as her cria have has fantastic fiber, and I found out with colortyping that she would only proce color. But an opportunity arose for to move and we are trying to reduce numbers so she is now sold!
