GENOTYPE: Ee Aa3 Non-Grey We are thrilled to have added Ariya Pure Reserve’s Jophiel to our herdsire lineup in 2022! Jophiel encompasses everything we are looking for in a light-colored sire. His fleece is simply exquisite and is maturing nicely. He is retaining excellent fineness and uniformity for age and displays amazing density from head to toe. He also has a strong typey conformation on a solid upright frame. Honestly, what’s not to love about this boy! Jophiel will certainly pass on his elite characteristics to his offspring as does his 3x Judge's Choice winning dam, Sunnyhill Conopa’s Spirit, and his game-changing sire, Snowmass Pure Reserve XX. Pure Reserve is known to cover black and has had many dark and even black offspring when bred to darker females. We have faith that Jophiel will also cover black and will be able to produce silvers and blacks when bred accordingly. Although we have bred Jophiel to some of our darker females to see what he produces, he will officially be genotyped in 2023 so we have a better understanding of his color potential. Jophiel is part of the ''Golden Line'' of full siblings (Sunnyhill Conopa’s Spirit x Snowmass Pure Reserve XX) produced before Pure Reserve's exportation to Europe. His full brother, Golden Treasure, is a 3x Fawn CC who won the Judge's Choice | Supreme Male award at the 2022 Alpaga Quebec Halter Show at the age of 45 months. His full sister, True Spirit, is a 4x Fawn CC who also won a Judge's Choice | Supreme Female award in 2018. Being part of an elite program and herd, Jophiel just happen to fly a bit under the radar compared to his full siblings so he does not have any show records. His pedigree, fiber stats and EPDs do however reveal his potential and place him in this elite golden group. We are confident that he will pass on his true potential to progeny and into our program. We would like to thank Ariya Alpacas for allowing us to bring Jophiel, an absolute gem, into our lineup!

Although Savana looked dark fawn upon birth, we had a hunch she might turn out to be a roan as she was born with lighter colored fiber at the tip of her ears and tail. Around the 4 month mark and with a bit more fiber growth, we could certainly confirm that this girl was indeed roan! Savana comes from an exceptional lineage pairing that have always produced some of our best! This Wingman (Bea-2 Bomber) daughter is one of our favorite with her exceptional fiber traits and her great maternal skills. For her first cria, she has produced an amazing little female and even went on to adopting another one of our cria that was rejected by his dam. With a little extra TLC, she successfully brought them up to weaning and is even expecting another cria for 2025. We hesitated to breed her back while taking care of 2 crias but she only required one breeding, held onto the pregnancy and is due in early September 2025! We have not genotyped her as we know her sire is an EEaa and her dam, eeaa. So Savana is Eeaa | Non-grey. We look forward to many crias from this amazing roan female!
