It's no wonder Sebastian is throwing grey, he's 6th generation grey with tons of grey genetics! Sebastian's cria have started hitting the ground running! In Spring 2015 he has been 3-for-3 in throwing tux greys out of brown, black and grey. They are all amazing cria so far. The product of a well planned out breeding from one of FTAF’s best grey girls, Pretty Lady, to their True Black 13X Champion herdsire, SHVN The Buccaneer. The outcome was spectacular. Sebastian has buttery soft fleece with a consistent crimp throughout his blanket, neck and legs. And oh what beautiful coverage! Pretty Lady and Buccaneer both are holding low microns for their age and have passed that on to their offspring. We expect that to hold true for Sebastian, too. His sire, SHVN The Buccaneer is the top herdsire at Full Tilt Alpacas and consistently produces high quality offspring. Buccaneer is a very true black male that has retained his fineness as even at 6 years old he was able to win his 13th championship. Every time he has won in the ring it has been due to his strong frame and the fact that he was finer than the other animals in the class, even those much younger than him. His dam, Pretty Lady, consistently produces exquisite offspring. Although she was never shown, her fleece was entered into many spinoffs and she has always gotten 1st place. Her fleece spun into yarn is absolutely stunning. Sebastian attended his first 2 shows, National Champions 2011 and OABA Alpacafest 2011, and took first place at both shows. The judges loved his look, the fineness of his fleece and his well balanced conformation! This guy is something special and everything you could hope to add to your offspring! Sebastian went on to win more 1st place ribbons and 2 banners in 2012! Judges comments were that is fleece was as fine as the juvies in the grey class when he was pushing 2 years of age! Then, in 2013 he went on to win 2 more banners – again the judge loved his looks and was amazed at the fineness he is retaining! NEWS UPDATE - Sebastian's paternal brother just won Black Male Color Champion at the 2015 Futurity! Quality runs in the blood!

Dance Magic has the genetic diversity we are looking for here on the West coast and though she is listed as a bay black she is Mahogany in color. With heritage like Dance Magic possesses, this animal should be exactly what you would want in your foundation herd. When blue ribbon winner Darcy Dakotia was bred to multi champ Black Icecapade, both parents passed on their strong conformation characteristics and fine dense fleece. A multi blue ribbon winner herself, Dance Magic is truly a gem. On April 24, 2016 Dance Magic a brown girl from our 4x champ silver grey herdsire, Sebastian! Dance Magic is a great mom with lots of milk. Her price does not include her 2016 cria.

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!
