JANUS' BLUE CRYSTAL: "THE ULTIMATE IN GREY' Janus Alpacas Proclaims, "One of Our Best Crias Ever Born Here!" Our first Snowmass Sterling Legend Silver Grey Daughter out of Olana, our best producer of grey! Crystal has the ultimate fleece characteristics. Both parents had histograms at the 15 range at 1 year! EXTREMELY DENSE & FINE WELL DEFINED & ORGANIZED CRIMP BRIGHT CLEAR UNIFORM FLEECE LONG STAPLE LENGTH CONFORMATION: COMPACT SQUARE STRAIGHT FRONT & REAR CORRECT BITE Blue Crystal has impressed us from day one. Her 1/2 sister, Kitty Hawk did the same. It is a very consistent line of high-end quality greys! I never thought I would be selling this amazing silver foundation girl who is a great producer, extremely dense, yet has soft handle into the belly. Janus' Blue Crystal's blanket is clean without spots. She has a tight crimp with good coverage, and has a wonderful disposition. Yocom histogram at 7 1/2 years: 26.2. Her dam, Olana is a true matriarch, just ask Dr. Michelle Ing, and sire, Snowmass Sterling Legend is no secret to us. Snowmass Sterling Legend was the Black Color Champion at the World Fleece Show. Sterling Legend was sold to a breeder in Germany. His genetics are no longer available, making his offspring that much more valuable. Blue Crystal is ready to breed to a grey male of your choice. You have several grey males to select at Alpaca Country Estates. We have our newest male purchased in the fall of 2018, a Super Sonic son, Thunder. Also, Cheryl Gehly has selected Estates Silver Boreas as our newest breeding male to take your grey program to the next level. In addition, we have NS Magic Flight, that still has an amazing soft hand and many offspring with his superb genetics just to mention a few of our 7 grey breeding males. Offspring: On 8/29/13, Blue Crystal gave birth to Estates Sterling Crystal, a fantastic MSG female sired by Neversummer's US Steel. Steel is very fine and inherited his sire's trademark silky handle. On 10/9/2014, Blue Crystal had Premier Ace Midnight Magic Crystal, a lovely, true black female cria multi-generational silver, NS Magic Flight. On 10/3/2015, Blue Crystal had Estates Black Diamond, a beautiful true black female also sired by NS Magic Flight. Magic's sire is none other than Snowmass Enlightenment, star of Snowmass Alpacas' entire gray genetic program. His dam is Champion producer, Almost Paradise Farms Beatriz. On 5/17/18, Blue Crystal gave us a extremely long staple length true black cria out of Estates Avignon, our stunning DSG US Steel son. On 7/6/20, Blue Crystal presented us with a handsome LSG male sired by Estates Silver Boreas.

Alpaca Country Estates is thrilled to add Irish Meadows' Peruvian Showtime to our herdsire lineup! He is exactly what we were searching for in a grey stud. His genetics, show performances, fiber qualities and phenotype, production of multiple grey champions, and the collective caliber of fleece across his progeny made Irish Meadows Peruvian Showtime impossible to overlook. Consider Showtime for your fawn, dark, and grey females and watch for more fabulous offspring. Showtime is a son of the infamous Jacob Black. He is the product of the first grey breeding to Jacob Black. This combination did not disappoint with an offspring that had a beautiful head, perfect conformation, and stunning grey fleece. His first histogram displayed a 16.4 micron, 3.7 SD, and 100% comfort factor. Showtime’s fleece is not the traditional mix of black and white fibers, HE IS GREY-FIBERED! This may also come from his dam, Shades of Grace. Shades of Grace has a strong grey pedigree starting with two grey parents and following back to importation. Between his dam and sire, they amassed 29 championships (19 for Jacob Black and 10 for Shades of Grace.) Showtime followed by taking eight banners, including back-to-back Futurity Color Championships. Both his sire and dam have produced multiple champions. Over 160 banners for Jacob Black’s offspring. Many grey and black. Jacob Black also won Reserve Dark Herdsire of the year, two years in a row. Showtime is producing multiple champions as well. Irish Meadows Crusade, a modern rose grey, won 12 banners and 18 first place awards in his first show season, Spring of 2023. Irish Meadows Momentum won 6 banners, Irish Meadows Poppy won 4 banners, Irish Meadows Paisley won 2 banners. They are all grey. Showtime is continuing to produce impressive grey offspring! Both in classic grey and modern grey. He is producing grey 50% of the time and almost all the time when covering grey. It is not just about color; the fiber and conformation of his offspring are consistently stunning and fine. Irish Meadow’s Naomi had a 13-micron fleece! The style, organization, brightness, and uniformity are all adding to that stunning fleece.
