Duke's 2014 fleece was sorted as grade 2 (two) by AFCNA. Duke earns himself a position on herdsire row for his Bolivian/Chilean heritage and his fleece's lingering crimp character and softness (6+ years) with minimal visible guard hair on a sturdy, correct frame with excellent type and temperament. Blues for halter and fleece at Alpacapalooza 2007 with four in the class in his third year winning ribbons. RC cria fleece at AWE show!

Old hip injury; walks well and cushes for breeding. Jan 2014 - Stunning MRG daughter, Nova Rosa by Rincon Cloud. Carmelina permanently injured a rear leg early in gestation, but fortunately Nova Rosa made it! When this dam was a newborn, she gained one full pound per day for her first nine days and she milks just the same. Beautiful Rosa has her dam's conformation and fine fleece and her sire's color, crimp and density. See Silver Troy, her very handsome gray son by Lanarks' Silver Charm. 9/10/12 - Carmelina birthed nice female cria, Aria, sired by our Duke. Click on her top photo to take a closer look. Carmelina is stunning. She is the image of her handsome sire colored indefinite rose grey. Carmelina is out of our 1/2 Alianza, blue ribbon (beat P. Microsoft in 2000, judge: Skinner) and champion producing DF granddam of our herd and the Snowmass Nova / Casanova bloodline on her sire's side. Carmelina is very fine and dense with sparse, silvery fibers evenly distributed throughout her entire fleece and she has the classic silver spot on the tip of her tail. Nuance is an award-winning son of Snowmass Nova [(Nova sold for $335k in 06, sire: P. Casanova (Futurity Herdsire of the Year)] who sold for $51k unproven at the 05 Snowmass Making of Champions sale. His brown roan dam, sired by Snowmass' Incan Magic (award-winning Peruvian gray), had an 18 m fleece at 3 yrs. He's owned by Alpacas of Tualatin Valley and Skyline Alpacas. Carmelina is very typey, sound, healthy and robust. Her fleece is abundant with very uniform color. Born at 331 days gestation weighing 18.8 lb., no signs of prematurity, up in 20 minutes and was more interested in exploring world than the milk bar, so we gave her some help with that! IgG: 2681 @ 52 hrs. She gained a pound a day for her first 9 days. Her multiple champion producing dam is known for exceptional lactation. 85 lb. @ 5 mos. 150 lb. on 12/4/07. Carmelina has Alianza genetics from both her sire's and dam's lineages (P. Bueno and P. Andrajo) as well as lots of black and gray on her pedigree. For her first breeding, we used our full Peruvian TB, Megabuck Mink and Mimi Nova was the result. Included: 90 Day Live, Breeding Quality Cria Guarantee; virtually no-risk guarantees; free agistment; transportation assistance; 14 day unconditional return guarantee; farm records; and our knowlegeable, on-going support.

Bloodlines: Snowmass, Patagonia, our herd matriarch and a some crimpy true black Bolilvian.
Recommended breeding to Remembrance (included).
We've owned many of the alpacas in this female's pedigree. Aria has very good conformation and a huge, overall uniform, crimpy fleece with minimal guard hair...traits inherited from both of her parents. Her fleece has uniform color, brightness, crimp character and length as well as medium crimp that is perfectly aligned.
Alpacas with her coloring and genetics are excellent to use for producing blacks and grays. Her RC dam has been bred to gray twice and produced a silver and a rose gray. Her dam hails from Snowmass P. Casanova and P. Andrajo, is an Alpacapalooza Reserve Champion and is from our best female lineage for awards, reproduction (high birth rate - up to 13 crias) and heavy lactation (up to one pound per day gain).
Her black sire won a CABA Res. Championship with his cria fleece (tips included!) and a blue ribbon on halter at Alpacapalooza as a full grown adult under judge Wade Gease. His fleece is fine, overall uniform and has lasting aligned crimp at 8 years of age.
