Congratulations to Jan Middleton of Silver Lining Alpacas on the purchase of Capstone. He will remain here through the 2013 summer show season, but we've retained breedings to his boy, and he is one to put on your wish list. Capstone's latest accomplishment is one more validation that he has a bright future ahead of him. At 2012 AlpacaMania Capstone was awarded 1st over a field of impressive greys including males sired by Snowmass Silver Signature, Deacon Grey and Bisturi, including the male who swept IAO with Fleece and Halter championships, Spinners Dream Halter, and best Head. Capstone was then awarded Reserve Color Champion behind an awesome Aussie .38 Special son. Capstone possesses the same typey conformation, dense crimpy fleece, and gorgeous head we expected from this Bisturi breeding to our true black Bellatrix. He is Bella’s first cria, and Capstone confirms our expectations that Bellatrix will be an outstanding foundation dam. Capstone is a medium silver grey with only one tiny spot in his blanket. He is a striking boy. His dense, organized fleece is soft with a buttery handle, consistent crimp hip to shoulder, back to belly, & off the charts staple length. Bloodlines from Bisturi, Olympus, Drambuie, & Peruvian Knockout on the top side: Generations of black and grey are balanced with the strong Peruvian greats, Yupanqui, Guellermo, Presidio, and Caligula on the bottom side. Capstone’s dam, Bellatrix brings the mix of proven genetics from our Multi Champion producing Grace and Champion producing stud, Xanadu After Hours. The dams in Capstone's pedigree are proven producers as well. There are no weak links in his genetic package. Experienced breeders know the power of pedigree weighs heavily in successful breeding decisions, and this boy has it in spades. We’ve retained breedings to Capstone anticipating that he will do great things. Put Capstone on your list for future breedings.
