ESTATES GRAY BEARD Gray Beard is a handsome medium silver-grey male who has luxurious fine handle, bright, long staple length consistent into his legs and underbelly. He is dense with enormous coverage on legs and body. His crimp is everywhere - head, neck, into his legs, and belly. What a joy to work with! I admire his incredible good temperament for being a proven breeder. At 6 years of age he is winning Championships based on the ability to sustain these gorgeous qualities. Gray Beard’s sire is none other than 17x Color Champion and 2x Judge’s Choice Winner, Aussie .38 Special. .38 Special is known to pass on his fine traits of brightness, fineness, density, and uniformity to his offspring. Gray Beard’s dam is true black NeverSummer’s Havana Nocturne, and in our Foundation Herd. Havana and Aussie .38 Special were on Carol Collins grey breeding program. Havana is a sister to NeverSummer's Black Ice, 2008 Futurity Color Champion and International Supreme Champion. Blue Ribbon Progeny on the Ground! 2017 MSG daughter, Estates Silver Calliope won 1st Place at the 2018 Rockton Fair Alpaca Show! 2017 LSG Daughter, Structured Chaos Lizzy Swann won Blue Ribbons at the 2019 TXOLAN Spin Off & 2018 TXOLAN shows! Co-owned with Kathy McConnell of Hubbert Farms. Gray Beard is currently residing at Hubbert Farms in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

NEVERSUMMER'S LUCILLE Lucille has simply a stunning fleece! It is exceptionally dense with unworldly brightness. And with a SD of 2.9 and CV of 16.3 it also has a luscious handle. What an amazing end product it will produce! At the 2011 IAO, under a panel of 3 International judges, Lucille received the 1st Place (above the Futurity Black Color Champion!). Then, in her first fleece show, she was awarded the Reserve Color Champion (Scoring just 1/2 a point below the Color Champion!) Because Lucille's fiber IS so silky, her density is hard to assess while on her body. It doesn't have the "poofy" volume that is so often mis-leading. But when you go to lift the bag of it you are amazed at the weight. Very much like a Suri's fleece. Lucille is a daughter of the legendary Aussie .38 Special (17x Champion, 2x Judge's Choice, Herdsire of the Year; at the age of eight, he won the “Spirit of the Industry” recognizing the lasting quality of his fleece). Her paternal grandsire, Victor’s Hemiaccoyo Casanova, requires no introduction! Casanova has consistently produced offspring that are champions in the halter and fleece shows including his two most well-known sons - 10x Champion, Aussie Guns-N-Roses and 17x Champion, 2x Judge’s Choice winner, Aussie .38 Special. Casanova’s sire, PPeruvian Victor, was the youngest male that arrived in the Peruvian importation of 1994, and in the words of the late Dr. Jim Vickers, had the “most beautiful” fleece and was the only alpaca in that importation that ranked as a 4+ in fleece. Notable genetics also include the following: Peruvian Hemingway, PPPeruvian Royal Fawn, Show Me The Money, Aussie Harmony Rose, & Hannahruh. Offspring: On 9/7/14, Lucille had a handsome brown male sired by our incredible Snowmass Satin Reserve XX. On 10/30/15, Lucille gave us a beautiful LSG female sired by our NS Magic Flight. On 10/15/16, Lucille had a lovely MSG female sired by our Estates Avignon (NeverSummer’s US Steel son). On 6/9/18, Lucille gave birth to a beautiful LSG female sired by Estates Gray Beard, a beautiful-fleeced male with Aussie .38 Special genetics. On 6/19/19, Lucille presented us with a beautiful MSG female sired by our Champion/blue-ribbon winning US Steel son, Estates Silver Titan. On 7/4/21, Lucille gave birth to a handsome bay black male sired by Judge's Choice and 9X Champion, KVR's Peruvian True Eye Candy "Ike". On 4/24/24, Lucille presented us with a lovely MSG female sired by Crescent Moon's Casimir.
