It is with an extremely heavy heart that we announce that our beautiful Xena, exceptional mother of numerous of our champion and ribbon winning alpacas, passed away on Saturday, July 17th, 2010, following the delivery of a breech stillborn cria. We will miss her terribly, the pasture seems so empty without her presence, but we are thankful that her passing was quick, in the field she was born in 10 years ago, surrounded by her pasture 'mates' and her daughter from last year by her side. Rest peacefully, dear Xena! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Xena is an exceptional female! She has exquisite fiber and the presence of a princess. Her 2010 Yocom McColl histogram at 10 years of age is exceptional: Micron - 23.1; SD - 4.6; CV - 20.1; >30 - 3.9, curvature 40.6, medulated fibers 10.9! Xena did extremely well in the show ring. At the 2001 Canadian Calcutta in Edmonton, she placed 1st in her class and went on to win Color Reserve Champion (approx. 49 animals in the white classes) and Juvenile Breed Reserve Champion (approx. 73 juvenile animals in total). This show was judged by three judges, each judging independently of the other. She went on to win another Reserve Champion title, as well as 1st Place Produce of Dam at the 2005 Southern Alberta Alpaca Show. Xena's cria with Fibre Works Technicolour arrived on July 1, 2008. He's a handsome dark brown male, with black points - aptly named "Sir John Eh". He has exceptionally long staple length and soft, soft handle to his bold crimp fleece. He's a 'looker' and we anticipate he will be popular with the 'ladies' in a few years time! Xena's 2009 cria arrived on July 7 and she is absolutely stunning! Her name is MHR Misty's Peruvian Lily and we think she is one of the best, if not the best, cria that has been born on our farm. The crimp, lock structure, fineness and brightness of her fleece is simply outstanding! Both Xena and Kazam contributed their best to this female! Lily is so outstanding, we simply had to repeat this breeding - so Xena has been bred back to Ghost River Kazam for a July 2010 cria. We understand now why breeders have returned for a second breeding to him and have been so impressed with the outcome of their initial breeding. His cria have very impressive fiber characteristics, including matchstick bundling, high frequency crimp, very good uniformity and density; and when matched with an exceptional female - the result is very, very impressive.

Description

** Congratulations to Rick and Vickie McCaffrey, Creston Valley Alpacas, on the purchase of Sir John Eh! He is a macho male who will bring color to his offspring! Sir John Eh's genetics include Jolimont 2 Peruvian Alpamayo, MMR Black Shadow and Elite Shelley. His immediate sire, Fibre Works Technicolour, is a bay black whose micron at age 3 was only 21. Technicolour placed 1st in his class at the 2005 Northlands Farm Fair Show. Sir John Eh's dam, MMR Misty's Peruvian Xena, has consistently produced show winners with outstanding fibre characteristics. She was one of our foundation dams until she passed away in July 2010. At 10 years her fibre stats were: 23.1, 4.6, 20.1 and 3.9 >30 - outstanding!! Sir John Eh's fibre has pencil-thin locks that are fine, fine, fine with lovely bold crimp that is very uniform, even into his 2nd year! At his first halter show, the 2009 A.L.P.A.C.A. Spring Show, Sir John Eh placed 1st in his class and went on to win Reserve Colour Champion. His fleece placed 2nd in the 2009 AC/CNASF National Fleece Show that year. Judge's comments were: "Good brightness & character - quite a uniform fleece!" In 2010, his fleece won Reserve Champion Brown, and placed 1st twice and 2nd place once in three different shows with three different judges. Sir John Eh settled his first females in 2010. John's first offspring was born in June 2011 - a dark brown female, owned by T 'n C Alpacas. Even though she was only a few days old, crimp and brightness were evident in her fleece!
