GENOTYPE: EEaa We are so thrilled to have been able to add this amazing little female to our herd! Although Velvet Enchanted is dark brown, she is genotyped as EEaa which will certainly be an advantage in our program! This female's pedigree includes lines such as Enchanted (Matrix) and Touche. Her EPD is outstanding for a darker female and we cannot wait to see what she produces in our program! Velvet Enchanted was imported while bred to Snowmass Ring of Innovation. She gave us a beautiful little dark fawn female which in turn will cover black. This little girl came late in the season and was born in hospital due to a severe torsion. Both dam and cria were saved (hence her cria's name Miracle!) but we have decided to give the dam a breather to recover so she is currently open but will be bred in early 2023 for a 2024 summer cria. We look forward to many more crias from this exquisite female!

GENOTYPE: Ee a1a2 Classic Grey We are so thrilled to have added this fantastic new classic grey male to our lineup! Plum Creek’s Taji made its way to Canada mid-summer 2022 and we are expecting his first offspring in 2023. Taji’s typey conformation, solid square frame and superior fleece qualities are everything we look for in a classic grey herdsire and he will certainly be a great successor to Wingman, our Bomber son, who is now back in the US. Taji is one of only 2 registered classic grey son sired by Bellarmine (ATV Adonnis)…the other one being Crescent Moon’s Emmaus! Taji’s MSG dam, Estates Yanni, has retained beautiful fineness and uniformity with age (4th fleece: 18.8 | 3.9 | 1.2% >30 | MC 47.4). No surprises here as she comes from prominent grey lineage in NS Magic Flight (Snowmass Enlightenment) and more great lineage in Patagonia’s Ernesto (Patagonia’s Lennox). Being the product of excellent bloodlines, it's no surprise that Taji has done extremely well in both halter and fleece shows and that his fiber stats are simply delightful! We cannot wait to start creating our next generation of awesome greys with this boy! Taji will remain exclusive for 2022 and will be opened to outside breedings in 2023. We wish to thank Brian and Valerie from Plum Creek Alpacas for allowing us to bring Taji into our program! UPDATE: Taji's first two crias in Canada both win Grey Colour Champion at their first halter show! The judge had very similar comments for both juvies pointing out a great combination of positive fleece traits and confirmation traits. Both juvies displayed a high degree of organization thanks to incredible fineness and uniformity of micron combined to above average follicular density; a combination that is more rarely found in classic grey! We are absolutely thrilled with these results and comments and we look forward to many more offspring from this amazing male!
