Crawford is a nicely built, beautiful, light to medium silver grey guy with a wonderful handle (speaking both of his fleece and disposition) He is the result of two champion parents. His sire, 15X champ RR Gun's Kit Carson is truly still producing some beautiful, award-winning offspring. His EPD's show him to be in the top 10% for uniformity. That uniformity in grey is especially amazing! If you research his pedigree, numerous are banner winners and recent top sellers at select auctions.
Crawford himself was awarded a first place in walking fleece and a Reserve Championship in halter at the 2016 California Classic. Not just awarded over a few, but over 23 other beautiful grey alpacas. We showed him as a mature breeding male and he took a 2nd place amongst some top winning grey breeders. Once again the judge commenting on the micron fineness, uniformity and handle of his fleece placing him above the others.
Come get your hands on this guy - seeing may be believing, but sometimes touching really seals the deal. Nice staple length, near solid color blanket and a great handle on this boy. Really fine and Uniform AFD 18.4 & 3.05 SD - two histograms in a row! We had a fleece industry expert evaluate him and they stated he has the qualities of a breeding male. We processed his fleece at different mills and his yarn is the nicest we have felt - ask for a sample.
Because he is steeped in grey genetics both sides of pedigree we anticipated that he would throw grey. His first cria was dark silver grey from a fawn dam without any grey lineage. 4 for 4 so far in silver grey - one that looked brown is definitely rose grey with more silver grey growing in. One cria received a 1st place and the other a 2nd in halter and walking fleece. Comments from the judge were nice fineness, staple length and density on both with scores of 7 & 8 of 10 on brightness.
Last season Crawford was bred to females of various colors. With fleece stats like his that could rival almost any color we are anxious to see how well he does across the board.
