Description
Velvet Hall imported his dam Timbertop CT Pearly Popstar from NZ in 2014. Storm is a medium silver-grey alpaca with superb density and fineness. He carries his crimp style to the extremities including down the legs. He displays a fantastic uniformity of colour and micron in his fleece combined with excellent staple length. The brightness of the fleece in this young male is just stunning, and these highly sought-after traits are displayed in his show results. At the 2018 National Show, Storm was the only junior alpaca in the supreme line-up. He has a very gentle demeanour which he takes from his dam Pearly Popstar. He carries fantastic Australian genetics from Jolimont Warrior, Wyterrica Propaganda, Purrumbete El Dorado, Patagonia Celtic Triumph and Blue Grass Waterloo Sunset to name but a few.
We will be limiting Storm Surge mating's in 2019 to 8 outside mating's.
