One of the most unique Herdsires ever born, Ante Up! is a Black-Point Medium Silver Gray (No Tuxedo, No White Markings). This means he can be bred to any color dam, even white and should produce a majority of Gray cria.
Only a handful of really good Black-Point Grays are well known, ANTE UP! easily rivals any of these, both in apperance and genetics.

Ante UP! has a pedigree that truly shines, his grandsires are Legacy 6016 (dam sire and only $1.5 Mil. alpaca in the world) and Patagonia's Danko, chosen number one in that Import, an amazing Gray Herdsire. Ante UP!'s sire is Crescent Moon's Valentino, himself a Champion and sire to Champions and his dam is Crescent Moon's Mirage, a Medium Fawn Legacy 6016 daughter and a cherished foundation dam. Other notables in his lineage are Acero Marka's Mr. know it All, Pipsissewa (Valentino's Dam) and Arcuta's Out Back jack....

Ante UP! has an abundance of gorgeously dense and uniform Medium Silver Gray fleece with consistent crimp architecture through-out, awesome conformation, great bone structure, wonderful personality and a stunning presence.
