SWEET
SIXTEEN!
Revolution is now the winner of
16
Championships
(14 at AOBA Certified Shows) and
24
Blue Ribbons.
¨
1st
Place &
Color Champion,
2009 PAOBA Breeder's Showcase
(Level IV,
34 grey males,
Jill MacLeod).
A few
interesting notes about his 16th Championship win:
• Revolution was still Color Champion quality at just
37 days shy of 4 years of age.
• To win Color
Champion at the show, Revolution had to beat two of our other multi-champion
grey males: 4-time Champion A.L. Paca's Jackhammer and 8-time Champion
Simba's Silver Maze both of which are two years younger and still in their
prime as yearlings.
• The PAOBA
Breeder's Showcase has treated Revolution extremely well. He has been
awarded the Grey Male Color Champion at this show four times in the last
four years! Each show under a different judge.

¨
1st
Place/11, 2006 North American (Level V, Mike Safley). Comments: beautiful fleece,
cauliflower / popcorn fleece, kind of alpaca when born wish it was a male,
reminds of larger grey female shown yesterday - both have excellent fleeces,
very typey - nice to see in a grey. (The larger grey female Mike was
referring to was A.L. Paca's Rose to the Occasion).
¨
1st
Place &
Color Champion,
2006 Southern Select (Level III, 36 grey males, Amanda VandenBosch). The was his first show at just 8 months of age.
Revolution's
fleece has been repeatedly noted to
exhibit significant density with excellent consistency from top knot to
hip and a very soft hand. The fleece has a high frequency, deeply
corrugated crimp style. In addition to his density, his other most
significant fleece quality is his brightness as the fleece just about
sparkles.
His show career has been stellar! Even before 11 months of age he had
already won 3 color championships. Now as a four year old, the handle to
his fleece remains soft and his brightness still exemplary so we expect
to see him continuing to do major damage in the ring before he is
finally retired to our stud pen.
We believe that Revolution will be one of the most pre-potent grey males
around, and his
progeny are starting to prove this
true. We specifically selected Revolution's sire based on his well regarded
reliability. Snowmass Casanova won the coveted Futurity Herd Sire of
the Year due to the consistent quality of his get. Then, in a following
year, one of his sons, Snowmass Nova, followed in the footsteps of his
father and similarly won Futurity Herd Sire of the Year.
Revolution's dam, 4-time Color Champion,
A.L. Paca's Adora Mora Yu, is out of
our most pre-potent colored blood lines. Adora and her mother,
DFA Coco have produced one
champion winning cria after another for
us. |
