Blue Ridge Porta Pia

We are thrilled to offer Michelangelo's Awakening as a herd sire. He is an established sire of show winning off-spring who often produces gray. We can generally count on Awakening to infuse his cria with superb fineness, density, coverage, and gorgeous phenotype.. They are cute as can be, square, and healthy! Awakening tends to produce the color of the dam. As an example, please note the photos of Broken Halo and his fleece. He is a fine example of what Awakening produces. We co-own Awakening with Mark and Mara DeBoe of River Falls Wisconsin, Wibotawot Farm. Show winnings and Judges comments: Awakening does it again at Minnesota Alpaca Expo. 1st place out of a class of 8 dark brown juvie males and a Reserve Championship. Judge Peter Kennedy comments, “At 7 months of age he is beautifully grown, very balanced showing a great level of maturity. He is extremely fine, very well organized, beautiful level of brightness with the level of organization, very uniform in his micron. Beautiful softness of hand, a great deal of density overall.” At AOA Nationals 2014 he took a 1st Place out of a class of 9 dark brown juvenile males. Judge Diana Timmerman comments, "He has a super fine fleece, it has incredible brightness and is very well nourished. It shows excellent architecture throughout and the character extends the length of the staple, it is also evident all the way through and all those characteristics give him great density." At the Railsplitter Alpaca show "Wake" took a 1st place out of a class of 6 brown juvenile males and the Color Championship for brown males. Judge Peter Kennedy commentts, “Showing a great level of maturity for his age with a beautiful level of coverage. Very true to type. The fleece is extremely fine showing excellent amplitude with his high frequency crimp style through his entire blanket and everywhere I looked it was all the same. Very well organized and great density. It is opening up very cleanly and is very bright, with a beautiful soft hand.”
