Jubilee has beautiful dark rose grey fleece. At six years, her 24 micron fleece is very uniform and quite fine for a grey. Her 2012 EPDs confirm what we already know. She produces cria with very dense, fine, crimpy, uniform fleece! 2012 EPDs: AFD -0.993, SD -0.435, %>30-5.387. Jubilee is an excellent mother who gives birth easily and has plenty of milk for her cria. In fact she has been known to nurse more than one cria at the same time after the second cria's mother died. Jubilee came to us bred to Ruidoso. After waiting weeks past the due date, her cria was born during National Alpaca Farm Days to an audience of farm visitors. It was an amazing experience so we named the girl Jewel in honor of the event! A few months after Jewel was born (and Jubilee was rebred), we believed Jubilee was pregnant again. While we were walking our white herdsire (Ike) through the pasture to breed another girl, Jubilee walked up and cushed right in front of him. We took it as a sign and went ahead and let her breed to Ike. That unplanned breeding gave us a gorgeous medium fawn girl, Sabina. We can't wait to see how she does in the spring shows. Both Jewel and Sabina have bright, dense, crimpy fleece to go with their perfect conformation. In 2012, we bred Jubilee to our light silver grey herdsire, Amego. On February 5th, they gave us a beautiful medium rose gray girl. Or so we thought... until shearing day. As the fleece came off, we were delighted to find an even prettier silver gray underneath! We are so excited to have produced a gray girl and have high hopes for her future. For her 2014 cria, we again bred Jubilee to Amego in the hope of another grey cria. And boy did they come through! We got a grgeous lighter silver grey boy. Like the first fleece from his full sister Rose, his tips are rose grey but underneath it's a pretty silver grey. Check out the sturdy build and conformation! We can't wait to see how he grows up. Since Jubilee has given us two grey and one black out of four breedings on our ranch, we bred her to our new herdsire Snowmass Velvet Legend... Twice! The first breeding gave us Mocha Mist, a gorgeous dark silver gray girl (see below) and the second gave us another striking dark silver gray, this time a boy! Jubilee is currently bred to Arapaho Sentinel's Denali, another striking rose gray boy for a spring 2018 cria. Denali has amazing retained fineness and uniformity. We can't wait to see what they produce! Jubilee sells with our 30 day live cria guarantee and a free breeding to any unrestricted Menagerie Hill Ranch owned Herdsire.

The legendary grey herdsire, Snowmass Enlightenment, is bringing his power packed genetics to the West Coast! "Enlightenment is the most significant grey stud we've ever produced." -- Snowmass Alpacas "Best male in the show. This stunning male combines perfect conformation and magnificent fleece. He is the 'Total Package'." -- Kentucky Classic Judge "If you could put all the best performing, most unique blend of genetics into one stud for the most advanced color breeding program...that is exactly what Snowmass did and the result is nothing short of magnificent!" -- Prior Owner "If we could have a Royal grey line of alpacas, Enlightenment is what it would take to get us there!" -- Julie Skinner His selling at the 2009 Futurity Auction by Snowmass was "...a true commitment to keep him in the breeding pool of Elite grey males in the USA as [we] slowly move out of breeding for grey." -- Snowmass Alpacas Snowmass Enlightenment, a multi-champion, is the product of generations of superior genetic development. Follow up his line to his multi-champion sire and 2X Futurity Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass XXXtreme, who was sired by multi-champion Snowmass Royal Rose, who was in turn sired by the incomparable Peruvian Hemingway. And lest we forget his dam, Snowmass Silver Star, sired by Snowmass Casanova, who was sired by Peruvian Bueno, brings rich grey and color genetics herself. In 2009, Enlightenment won the AOBA Reserve Color Championship at 54 months just after taking a Championship at the Kentucky Classic Show. He was the highest selling alpaca at the 2009 Futurity Auction, taking in over double the price of the next closest male. Enlightenment has produced a multitude of champion offspring in all colors, starting with his 2nd cria, Snowmass Enlightened - a rose grey 12X Champion who has gone on to be a great herdsire in his own right. A female cria, KBA Enlightened, went on to win 10 Championships and produce the top selling grey at the 2015 Parade of Champions Auction (for $47,500). He's produced champion offspring in every year since he started breeding (see photos to right). Some recent shows/sales for his offspring: -- 2013 MAPACA Jubilee - 2 of the 6 Judge's Choice entries were Enlightenment offspring -- 2014 AOA National Auction - an Enlightenment female was 4th highest seller and won a championship at the show (to go along with her 4 other banners) -- 2015 Parade of Champions Auction - an Enlightenment grandson was the highest selling full-interest alpaca This herdsire is one of the few grey males to come on the scene and make everyone's head turn. He's that good. Contact us for your opportunity to make Enlightenment's incredible genetics work to improve your color/grey program. Enlightenment is co-owned by Epic Alpacas, Morning Beckons, and Providence Alpacas. His cria are now hitting the ground at Epic Alpacas and the fleeces are spectacular: fine, bright, dense and tons of crimp! We love this guy!
