Lily was the first female cria born on our farm and holds a special place in our herd. She is all grown up now - and is a very big girl with correct conformation, nice fiber and pleasant temperament. She has an outgoing personality and is one of the first in the herd to greet farm visitors. Lily has given us 4 crias in a range of colors. Sophie, is a lovely rose-gray girl and has become a foundation female in the Delphi Alpacas herd in Colorado. Lily's second cria is a medium brown male sired by Fuego del Norte, and her 3rd, also a male, is Forrest. Forrest is more than we hoped for! He is covered in curly white fleece that is fine, bright, dense, and oh-so-soft! He is strong with a solid frame, straight legs, and has Mom's easy-going disposition. Lily's most recent cria is Destiny - sired by Accoyo America Triumph. Destiny is a sweet girl with strong conformation, large size and beautiful and abundant fleece. We hope to keep Destiny in our foundation herd. We were so pleased with Destiny, that Lily has been bred again to Accoyo America Triumph for a June 2019 cria. Update: Lily has delivered her 5th cria - a pretty little white girl that looks just like Destiny! We are thrilled! :)

Congratulations to our friend Annie Hunt of Willow Wind Farm, for acquiring a share of Avatar. Please contact Annie about Avatar breedings. We are thrilled with Avatar's newest creations - including Delphi's Avella - The 2017 National grey female halter Champion at just over 6 months of age. And congratulations to Avella's new owners, Debbie and Dale Hoerl; Alpacas of Moose Creek Ranch! Many more Avatar crias will be arriving in 2018. Avatar has beautiful crimpy, dense, and fine fleece, but what separates him from other outstanding herd sires, is his phenomenal handle - due to both exceptional uniformity, and very bright, low scale fiber. Cameron Holt, AOBA Senior Judge Trainer and world wide fiber expert, gave the following scores to Avatar's fleece: Fineness: 15 out of 15 ; Handle: 5 out of 5 ; Uniformity of micron: 7 out of 8 ; Crimp: 8.5 out of 10 ; Density: 3 out of 5 ; Brightness: 8 out of 10 ; Lack of medullation: 8 out of 10. His daughter Delphi's Lailah won Color Champion Grey Female Fleece at the 2012 Nationals. His son Delphi's Rama won a Blue Ribbon at the 2012 National Fleece Show, (and then brown Color Champion at the Tenessee Waltz Fleece Show). These two Avatar kids insured Delphi's win of the 2012 Classic Cup for fleece, at the 2012 Nationals. Another standout offspring is Kanaka - an 8X Champion with 1% EPD's in both SD and >30; and 2% EPD's in fineness. While we don't participate in the program, we agree Avatar's son Kanaka's EPD stats do reflect his sire's strong suits. Avatar's many other crias now include Six AOBA National Halter or Fleece Champions, several Futurity Champions, and many many many Multi-Champion and Blue Ribbon show winners, in addition to the winners of many Special Awards, such as the Best Brightness award at the National Fleece Show - the first time this award has been awarded to a grey. Please enjoy viewing some of his lovely crias and their fleeces, shown below.
