Mixtli is a gorgeous, medium rose gray, with a rare bloodline combination. His sire is Snowmass Red Hot Cognac, a traditional Incan type alpaca with elite, dark fawn fleece, carrying 5Peruvian Ajoyani and 6Peruvian Silent Night, some of the finest black bloodlines imported from Peru. Mixtli’s dam is a very fine-fleeced white girl with the gray bloodlines of FDA Paladin, and black bloodlines, as well. Mixtli’s fleece placed 2nd at 2009 AOBA World Fleece Show. Cameron Holt gave Mixtli’s fleece a perfect 20 score on fineness and handle. He also placed second in halter behind the color champion at the 2009 Topeka show. Mixtli has produced a mix of colors. True Black, silver gray, rose gray, and even white, with a wisp of gray in the tail. His 2013 grey boy won Mixed Male Championship at the 2014 Houston Livestock ALSA Halter Show and Second Place Juvenile Gray Male at the 2014 TXOLAN Spectacular. Unfortunately, Mixtli died this year while I was out of town. This posting is for reference only.

Marquis is a beautiful dark, silver grey herdsire with a very dense fleece that exhibits a really soft, high frequency crimp. He has produced two grey crias, one rose grey cria and one black cria for us since he joined our ranch. With his exceptional confirmation, nice color and great genetics, we have chosen to breed him to multiple girls this year. As stated by the farm that bred him, Grand River: "Marquis has a stunning look to him and his fleece is very dense and fine with a zippered style crimp which is consistent throughout. The genetics this male carries should make your decision to purchase him even easier. This male carries the genetics from Dark Shaddow, 2006 Dark Futurity Herdsire of the Year and multiple true black champion and champion producer. Marquis is also grandson to Rincon Cloud, 2005 AOBA National Show Gray male color champion, Accoyo Peruvian Legacy, 2X Futurity Herdsire of the Year winner. His grandmother is Fortune Cookie, producer of 2 champions. His dam, Dutchess, is full sister to 4x champion Grand River Luminosity and champion Grand River Esperanza. Marquis paternal grandsire is Bolivian Vesuvius. Marquis has it all. In his very first show he brought home a blue ribbon, carrying on the family tradition of blue ribbon winners.
