Moonshadow's Gunslinger "Gunny" is a beautiful light rose grey, with a pink/mauve tint to his fleece. His fiber is incredibly bright and he produces an exceptional staple length. His fiber has always caught the judge's eye keeping him in the ribbons in both halter and fleece shows. His fleece was awarded Judge's Choice out of more then 80 Huacaya fleeces at the Northwest Alpaca Affaire Fleece Show in 2006. In 2007 he was awarded a Blue ribbon for his fleece at the AOBA National's Fleece Show! His fleece has continued to maintain a fine handle and produce a great staple. In 2008, his fleece took 1st Place and Reserve Color Champion at Alpacapalooza, receiving high points again for fineness, handle and uniformity and again in 2009 his fleece was still at the top of it's class.
Gunny has non-stop presence, impeccable conformation and is all around a very handsome alpaca! No one coming to the farm to visit has missed noticing him in the pasture and he makes sure to greet each person stopping by to say hello!
Gunny comes from proven quality breeding stock. His Sire is the well known Premier's Absolute "Sol", multiple award winning Herdsire, selling at 2006 Futurity auction for $152,000! Sol has produced many award winning offspring, several have sold at national auctions averaging $43k in the first year! Gunny's dam, Madonna la Boliviana has taken 1st Place in Spin-offs at AOBA National's and Alpacapalooza with years 5 and 6 fleeces. At 10 years old, yarn made from her fleece is always the first to sell, as well as any of her offspring we've had yarn from.
If you want to add fineness, long staple, great handle and color to your breeding program, Gunny is your guy! You can see from his histograms that he is maintaining his fine fleece extremely well!
