Amber Autumn Sun Glory

Gibraltar of FJA is truly gorgeous. He has the fineness, long staple length & density with a strong frame for the complete package. He was handpicked along with 7 other studs from Amber Autumn’s herdsires. Gibraltar was special enough that we used him for breeding immediately upon arrival. He may have originated from a smaller farm, but was impressive enough to seduce the owners of Amber Autumn & now us. His genetics are top-shelf & he had a fantastic start to his show career. We are thrilled to have him at Alpaca Country Estates! Everything stands out as you view Gibraltar. First of all, he has a correct but very stout & macho frame. His chest is broad & he has great capacity. His coverage & bone are phenomenal. He is fluid in his movement & blessed with a muscular build. Gibraltar’s fleece is just as impressive. Super dense, fine, uniform fleece with a long staple are the hallmarks of his fleece. It also has moderately high frequency & high amplitude to the crimp style. These traits come naturally from his well aligned pedigree. Gibraltar descends from generations of elite Snowmass genetics! He is out of 5X champion Snowmass Best in Velvet (whose offspring have earned a judge's choice awards and amassed numerous color championships.) The Snowmass Velvet Touche - Snowmass Best in Velvet - Snowmass Best Man line is one of my favorites & includes some of the most noteworthy names in the alpaca industry! His paternal grandsire, Snowmass Velvet Touche, is just sensational! His accolades include 2014 Futurity Light Herdsire of the Year, 2015 Futurity Reserve Light Herdsire of the Year, and 2015 Futurity-1st Place Get-of-Sire Dark! Velvet Touche is not only well-known for being a multiple Color Champion winner at Futurity, but also for putting champion offspring on the ground. Gibraltar’s great grandsire, 5x champion Snowmass Touché, was the high selling Huacaya at the 2010 Futurity auction! Gibraltar’s dam, CSAF Peruvian Grand Gigi, is a daughter of AML Principios Grand Torina. Her grandsire AML El Duro’s Principio, is an 8x Champion. On his maternal side, ancestors of note are Victor’s Vaccoyo, PPeruvian Victor, Accoyo PPPeruvian Royal Fawn, Accoyo PPeruvian Camillo, and 4P Legacy. Judges Ken Hibbits & Diana Timmerman awarded Gibraltar a coveted Judge's Choice trophy at the 2018 Buckeye Fall Fest. He has also been recognized with 3X Color Championships during his stellar show career. Proven Champion & Blue-Ribbon Producer! Gibraltar is producing exquisite cria with all of his positive traits. He is passing on fantastic frames with broad chests, thick bone & correct conformation, making him our top male for enhancing conformation. His cria are beautiful & possess fleeces with good fineness, fantastic density & great organization and crimp style. They are already winning in the show ring - Daughter, Amber Autumn Sun Glory is a 4X Champ with Multi-Blues. Son, Thor Farms Tariq won First at 2022 TXOLAN & several 2nd ribbons.
