**Zep wins Black Color Champion at the 2009 Fallfest Fleece Show** (17 entries)
**Zep wins Blue at the 2009 AOBA World Fleece Show**
a class of 5, which consisted of Zeppelin, a Snowmass entry, the Blue Ribbon winner at Level 5 North American Alpaca Show, the Blue Ribbon winner at the Northeast Alpaca Show (class of 11) and the Reserve Champ of the MOPACA invitational.

Zeppelin sheared 6 pounds of fleece from 10 months growth in 09 - which annualizes to 7.2 pounds for his baby fleece. Calculate in the fineness - and those stats are superior.
See stats for both years above.

Color checked as a bay black in every show - Zeppelin has brown and grey on his chest, belly and legs.
Zeppelin's dad, Taos, a stunning Legacy son, currently has a 22.9 AFD at 7 yrs.
Zeppelin's mom's gorgeous fleece tested at 21.3 AFD at 7 years as well. Zeppelin also offers correct conformation, impressive presence, size, coverage, and substance of bone. His beautiful crimp, luster and lock structure are stunning - and the staple length is extreme.

Buck's Meadow Farm Alpacas in Michigan has developed an awesome breeding program in a short time by selecting an extremely high quality foundation herd. We thank David and Julie Wroblewski for making Zeppelin available - we are thrilled to add Zeppelin to Delphi Alpacas' herd sires.

At 2009 GWAS, Zeppelin was awarded 2nd Place in a class of 10 (which included the 2X Color Champ of the Kentucky Classic and Alpacapalooza, as well as 14X Champion Knight Rider). Zeppelin & the eventual champion Knight Rider were compared very favorably by the judge, Ruth Elvestad. We are excited to show Zeppelin with his third fleece in 2010 & 2011 - He just gets better!
