What the experts say: - Mike Safely: AOBA Senior Judge, author, & internationally known alpaca expert.

Lua has the distinction of being the only full sister of Snowmass Legacy Gold, a Herdsire needing no introduction. Lua is the definition of easy keeper. She has effortless births, lots of milk and a nurturing personality with her cria. Her 2005 boy, Powerplay's Golden Gauge, still exhibits her density and shine combined with his sire's phenomenal fineness, consistency and lengthy staple Lua's first cria, Snowmass Andean Snow was sold at the '05 Parade of Champions Sale to Rick and Ann Evans for $47k. Her award winning '03 cria sired by Snowmass Nova, a DF/LB girl, Maui Lua holds a place of honor among the foundation females at Flying Pony Alpacas. Bred in 2005 to MFI Peruvian Seagram, we were blessed in 2006 with yet another stellar cria out of this girl, Seagram's Spitfyre, a light beige male who placed 2nd in a VERY competitive class of White Yearling males at the '07 Empire Extravaganza. We bred Lua to our black herdsire Snowmass Nova in '06 hoping for a repeat of CCNF Maui Lua and guess what!? Lua is nothing if not consistent. Not only is her '07 cria a gorgeous light brown but it's a girl too! Nova's Nanea is loaded with the fine, silky, crimpy fleece Lua consistently produces and has a gorgeous face to boot! 2008 Lua bred to Canzelle's Zambezi produced Moonacre Zambezi's Chin-Chin, a gorgeous DF female with stellar crimp, coverage and type.

From arguably the most consistent gray/black breeding program in the United States comes our latest secret weapon. Considered a "Total Package" Silver Legend son by the folks who bred him, Ty Ty experienced an injury to his jaw as a juvenile that took him out of the running for the show ring and right straight into our pasture. Blessed with a solid square conformation, uniformly fine, uniformly gray and uniformly crimpy fleece that is the calling card of his sire, Ty Ty has a noble head and a gentle disposition. We currently have a number of females bred to him and expect his first cria in the middle of summer 2015. 2014 AFD 19.1, SD 4.7 at 3 years of age!
