When it came to Sterling Silver the resounding consensus of all the judges and textile experts was he is simple ONE OF A KIND in all that one would expect in a grey stud.  You could not ask for much more.  The evenness of his fineness and the astounding density and uniformity was the best they had ever seen in a grey. If ANYONE was to breed for this color this was the STUD to breed to.  His excelled in overall density and fineness comes from his Dam who was purchased from and elite alpaca breeder, Bruce Bar.  This was one of his very best females and had no intention of selling her, but she was eventually sold to Snowmass Alpacas and went on to win the Championship in one of the first international shows Judge by Don Julio Barreda in Spokane, Washington. We bred her to Snowmass Casanova and the results were extraordinary. Sterling Silver’s production has been produced the finest in both Black and grey.  This is an exciting opportunity for the discerning grey breeder if there ever was one.  There are so very FEW grey males in the entire world who carry this incredible GREY potential.  He is one of the very few to carry these fiber statistics into his age and have the balance of conformation and gorgeous head of which he stamps into all his cria.
