Another stunning cria for Kohana - this time a male - beautiful bundling dark brown fiber. This male just continues to deliver the goods! Density, bundling, incredible fiber...even shearers are marveling at the fiber this male is leaving behind on crias! _____________________________ **Kohana's first crias are hitting the show circuit and coming home with spectacular ribbons! Following in the footsteps of daddy???? Congratulations to Nueva Dia on the blue ribbon!! ------------- Sigh. Some alpacas just get better with age. Keme Kohana (his name means Swift Thunder) is just simply one of those alpacas you want to sit back and admire all day. Handsome, stunning, beautiful (yes, even for a boy!). Color Championships and seven blue ribbons tell us that others agree. Kohana is the complete package. He has also captured the coveted trophy and distinction of first in the Bred & Owned class - over multiple champion whites - this really is a testament to an outstanding colored alpaca. This is Kohana. Kohana has remarkable conformation, outstanding fiber (brightness, density, crimp, handle, fineness) all packaged with a strong genetic base. The fiber is so dense - yet fine - that we challenge you to part the fiber to find the skin easily. We were so pleased with the judge's comment in his 2012 fleece blue ribbon winning which pointed out that even at this age he is also maintaining his fineness. Armed with an incredible IgG of 3866, Kohana was ready to take on the world when he was born. Blessed with flawless conformation, incredible fiber (soft, crimpy, bright, and dense!), and packaged with an attitude of “I’m just awesome!” He is bigger and stronger than most boys his age (or older!) and he doesn’t mind pushing them aside. He knows he reigns supreme. Yet, he is surprisingly polite and gentle. He is the son of the Queen of our Pasture (Linen) – and he learned how to rule the pastures at a young age. With multiple championship bloodlines on both the sire and dam sides, Kohana demonstrates his striking features both in and out of the show ring arena. His physical stature and build are remarkable for an alpaca his age. His color is right on dark fawn. But don’t be fooled. His lineage carries all colors. Grandsires Royal Inca Legend (MSG) and Lanark’s Expresso (DB) are just waiting to pop out. The markings on his face are perhaps from great-grandsire Drambuie (BG) or Royal Inca Legend! Don’t be shy - allow yourself the pleasure of visiting him. Look through his fiber. Marvel at this phenotypical headstyle. Ask questions about him. Inquire. Stare. But, don't ignore. He might just be the alpaca you need to bring your herd genetics into the next generation of excellence! P.S. You can also see Kohana on the new Mazuri feed bags...next to Striker, the black suri.

**6/18/2012: It's another girl for Magic! Magic produced a light brown, incredibly dense perfect female! WOW!!!! *** IgG is 4225. Typical for Magic's offspring. This dam is a foundation girl - place her in your private reserves! We liked this match that she was rebred to Kohana for full sibling! Awaiting confirmation of pregnancy. _________________________________________________ If you are looking for a fabulous foundation female who produces champions…look no further! Black Magic has produced TWO (male and female) champions – from different sires! This means the common denominator is her! We have elected to keep her latest offspring (a female who just turned a two) and offer up Magic to those looking to enhance their black breeding programs. Look at the offspring she produces – Champion Midnight Starr (over 15 ribbons won!), Champion Blackjack (runner up to 7x champion - every time Blackjack took 2nd place!), Midnight Sapphire (shown twice - blue ribbons both times!), and now meet her newest offspring - Midnight Gypsy - a stunning replica of the sire, multiple champion (Keme Kohana of Salt Creek). Magic is the daughter of Lanark’s Expresso – son of Drambuie himself! This is a line you WANT in your breeding program. The fineness and handle you get from these lines maintains itself…so much so that Magic’s offspring beat out the white entries in the Produce of Dam classes! How’s that for fabulous? Magic is an fabulous mother – attentive to her crias, gives birth unassisted, excellent milker, and comes to the barn if you call her name! She stamps her “fuzzy” ears on her offspring along with her rich and consistent coloring! Blankets are consistent, fine and dense. Add this outstanding PROVEN female to your herd today! We strongly recommend rebreeding Magic to Kohana - current offspring (Midnight Gypsy) is stunning!
