Taka Number is a great all around male, but is extremely strong in staple length and throwing this trait in his offspring. His 6th fleece won the fleece competition at the EDU, back in 2018, competing against 52 other fleeces, 3 years old or younger. That sums up how his traits are holding up. Taka has outstanding architecture, in a huge, fine, dense fleece that typically is 4 1/2" - 5 1/2" in length at shearing time. The amount of fleece that comes off this animal is eye opening. His neck fleece is just as good as his prime blanket, and nearly as long. At 7, he is still retaining decent fineness for a breeding male, along with a very soft, dense fleece, with a long, well defined staple. His offspring to date, are all nice improvements over the dams, and their brightness stands out! They all have a long staple as well, although the architecture is fairly varied. We proudly co-own Taka with both Stoneberg Alpacas and Crescent Moon Ranch.

Mooney is our matriarch female. She has birthed out 6 crias, with 4 of them being 24 lbs or larger. She produces great framed crias with huge bone, beautiful heads and fine, uniform fleeces. Bred to very dense, uniform males is a magical thing. Robust girl, with good birthing capacity. She is a great milk producer and an excellent mother. Mooney's fiber retained nice fineness, holding at 22.5 microns when she was 10. She is an all around female, as evidenced by her offspring as well as her well rounded, top EPDs.

This is 14x CHAMPION and 3x JUDGE’S CHOICE WINNER-ESTATES PASSIONATE FEVER! SOPRIS Alpaca Farm purchased 1/3 interest in him at The Futurity Sale in 2022. We proudly co-own him with Crescent Moon Ranch and Red Granite Ranch. The following was gleaned from Fever's page published by Alpaca Country Estates. Fever is the son of Snowmass Pure Passion, an outstanding champion producing stud with 5 GET-OF-SIRE Blue Ribbons, . Snowmass Alpacas said, “Snowmass Pure Passion is the most magnificent Light Fawn Matrix son Snowmass Alpacas has ever produced.” That's a strong statement! Passionate Fever was a formidable opponent in the show ring. As a juvenile, he won Light Male Color Champion & the Judge's Choice award at the 2019 California Classic. Jude Anderson awarded Fever the Color Championship at the 2019 CABA Classic (out of 17). In 2019, Passionate Fever was evaluated as an A+ by senior AOA Judge Amanda VandenBosch. "He has excellent substance of bone, balance to frame, fiber coverage, good organization within staple, maintains consistency across fleece, moves to the extremities to neck, good density relative to fineness." Jill Marcellus said, "He’s a very refined looking male, He’s moderately sized, right in the middle there, & that can be very useful in a breeding program. He’s got good balance & proportion, excellent substance of bone, a very typey male with a good strong phenotype. I really like his head style as well. His fleece is very fine & exceptionally uniform in all the fleece traits. I pulled samples from all over the place on him & really there is virtually no difference from mid-side to right into the front shoulder area to over to the hip. That also carried through with the staple type and also the expression of character through the fleece. It’s very uniform right across his body and underneath his belly." SOPRIS Alpaca Farm was shopping for an impact male, capable of throwing color. Passionate Fever was ultimately our selection. We bred him to a hand full of females in the short time we had him in Western Colorado, and have 6 confirmed pregnancies for 2023.
