Silver Mist is quite simply, a gorgeous alpaca. Her alert presence, elegant head, excellent conformation, and wonderfully gentle personality make her hard to miss. Her well-balanced frame is covered with beautiful medium silver gray fleece exhibiting the fineness one would expect from her pedigree.
She has maintained consistently baby fine fiber over the years... at 118 months (close enough to 10 years old for my money) , she still had a 20 AFD with an SD of 3.72 a CV of 18.7 and CF of 98.53%.
Her dam, PLA’s Silver Empress, also maintained her fleece quality and fineness into adulthood. Empress produced quality cria in a wide range of deep colors including Mist's 1/2 brother, the awesome true black Michelangelo. Mist’s sire, Synopsis Nocturna, still maintained a 21 micron jet-black fleece at 4 years of age. His outstanding fleece was awarded 1st place at the 1999 AOBA National Conference.
Silver Mist placed did very well in the ring herself, and her offspring have been incredible!
Silver Mist's 2003 true black female cria, Panache, is sired by Aussie Rockford. She is an elegant alpaca, with amazing presence, jet black color, and shiny, crimpy fleece. She inherited the best of both parents, and continued Mist's award winning record placing 1st and Color Champion at the 2004 Alpaca Affaire.
Silver Mist’s 2008 true black male cria, Pinonn, out of Victor's Julius, a dark brown 1/2 Accoyo Victor son, was snapped up by an out-of-state breeder to be part of their herd sire row. Mist's 2009 cria, Miss PussyToes, is a lovely Mist "look alike" out of our CC LF del A Joshua with another amazingly fine, 17.9 micron fleece.
We will put Mist with one of our "home boys" for her 2014 cria.
