Like father like son. Avatar's Avalance sire is the multiple championship winning rose grey herdsire Avatar from Delphi Alpacas. Avalance has his dad's beautiful fine, dense, and crimpy rose grey fiber. Also taking after his sire, Lance has done very well in the show ring in large competitive classes. 4 shows and 4 ribbons and a 4th place at Nationals in a class of 15!!! People are first drawn to Avalance by his gorgeous color. Head to toe coverage on this grey boy. Strong grey genetics have come through on his first crias. Four crias in the ring and all of them took home ribbons. One took a second place to a Snowmass Cria! Look for more of his crias to continue parading through the show ring. Avalance is very fine for color, with a 22.4 micron at age 5 years and his latest numbers are in - at age 10 he's at 24.0 microns! That's just a 1.6 micron increase in 5 years! Simply awesom! Passing on fineness to his crias is his M.O. If you are looking to soften up on your darker colors, this is the Herdsire for the job. Microns on some of his greys are ranging from 17-19!! Here's your chance to acquire some of Avatar's great genetics!

Kiann is a very gentle, true black girl out of GB Judgement, a beautiful, fine fleeced true black male who is compact and passes on his fineness and big bones to his offspring. Kiann is full of true black and grey genetics! On March 20, 2014, Kiann gave birth to a beautiful modern dark silver grey male cria, Epic Alpacas Callum, who went on to take the blue ribbon for grey juvenile males at the 2014 Gold Country Gathering at just 6.5 months of age. Callum was sired by Peruvian Silver Fox. Kiann has turned out to be a wonderful mother with tons of milk. Silver Fox is out of the Janus breeding program and was used on a limited basis to keep his genetics from flooding the market. He has produced 72% grey cria (and 95% grey or black). He has added density, crimp and staple length to every breeding and Kiann's little boy looks to have inherited it as well! On May 26, 2015 Kiann had a gorgeous tux rose grey girl, Ceilidh (pronounced Kay-Lee) from Avatar's Avalance, a rose grey herdsire with lasting fineness. Ceilidh has fine fleece with super luster and crimp. Kiann's 2018 cria is a tux grey boy from the legend, Snowmass Enlightenment! Enlightenment has produced champion after champion in the show ring and continues to be one of the top producing grey studs in the nation. We love his match up with Kiann!

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!
