Sire: Moonshadow's Gunslinger

Moonshadow's Gunslinger "Gunny" is a beautiful light rose grey, with a pink/mauve tint to his fleece. His fiber is incredibly bright and he produces an exceptional staple length. His fiber has always caught the judge's eye keeping him in the ribbons in both halter and fleece shows. His fleece was awarded Judge's Choice out of more then 80 Huacaya fleeces at the Northwest Alpaca Affaire Fleece Show in 2006. In 2007 he was awarded a Blue ribbon for his fleece at the AOBA National's Fleece Show! His fleece has continued to maintain a fine handle and produce a great staple. In 2008, his fleece took 1st Place and Reserve Color Champion at Alpacapalooza, receiving high points again for fineness, handle and uniformity and again in 2009 his fleece was still at the top of it's class.

Gunny has non-stop presence, impeccable conformation and is all around a very handsome alpaca! No one coming to the farm to visit has missed noticing him in the pasture and he makes sure to greet each person stopping by to say hello!

Gunny comes from proven quality breeding stock. His Sire is the well known Premier's Absolute "Sol", multiple award winning Herdsire, selling at 2006 Futurity auction for $152,000! Sol has produced many award winning offspring, several have sold at national auctions averaging $43k in the first year! Gunny's dam, Madonna la Boliviana has taken 1st Place in Spin-offs at AOBA National's and Alpacapalooza with years 5 and 6 fleeces. At 10 years old, yarn made from her fleece is always the first to sell, as well as any of her offspring we've had yarn from.

If you want to add fineness, long staple, great handle and color to your breeding program, Gunny is your guy! You can see from his histograms that he is maintaining his fine fleece extremely well!

Gunny's cria are proving he can pass on his quality. Great looks, beautiful fleece, long staple and crimp, non-stop presence and the judges are taking notice. Take a look at a couple of his cria pictured, gettin

September 1, 2021 Neversummer's US Steel is for sale and is now available. We have kept back several of his offspring and it's now time for him to focus on another herd. SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY! Gold Country Gathering 2019 Silver Spice, a Neversummer's US Steel daughter wins both Judge's Choice and Spirit of the Industry Award! Neversummer’s US Steel! 2018, 2017 and 2016 Herdsire of the Year! As of January 2018 Neversummer's US Steel will be permanently residing full time at Starshire Ranch! Love, love, love this guy, his stats, his offspring... Love everything about him! Steel is so very fine! He has also inherited his sire's trademark silky handle. As he matured, Steel's uniformity and retained fineness brought him to the very top of his extremely competitive classes in the ring. The judges consistently commented on his extreme fineness and soft handle and now his histogram numbers fully support this. Steel is a handsome male with an excellent breeding background and has matured into an elite macho, who has produced champion offspring of his own! Steel's dam, Crescent Moon's Starbright is a lovely Rayo Del Sol daughter who was a blue ribbon winner and a reserve champion in the ring herself. She was a gentle female and proved to be a topnotch breeder and mother. At 6 yrs of age, Starbright's fleece was still 21 microns. Steel continued his show career just months before his 3rd birthday at the 2012 Futurity placing 1st in a competitive class under judge Peter Kennedy. At the 2012 GWAS he was 1st and Reserve Color and the oldest male in his class at 34.7 months and Judge Jude Anderson commented on his fineness, uniformity of color and beautiful fleece character that is still being retained at his age. This is truly remarkable for a male just shy of 36 months to be so competitive in a class of 48 grey males! The color champion was rose grey, so Steel was the best silver grey male at this show! Although winning and ribbons are fun and good, but the true test of a great herdsire is in his offspring. Once more Steel continues to shine both in the brightness, fineness and soft silky handle of his offspring's fleece as well as the beautiful look he stamps on each offspring!
