Holly has a wonderful dense, richly colored fleece, excellent coverage, handle and nice crimp. Holly is a smaller compact female that can easily breed back, birth and nurse her cria – all completely unassisted. She maintains her body score throughout nursing her young. All her cria are little teddy bear style bundles of fluff! With her rich colored back ground she can throw almost any color you can imagine. In 2010 she was bred to multiple ribbon winning grey male, Patagonia’s Luigi, to see if her silver lineage (and some silver fibers running through her fleece) would come through – they did, in 2011 she had Winchester, a beautiful grey (a combination of silver grey and rose grey). Holly has been very healthy, she has not had any health issues, she is a low maintenance kind of girl. Holly was bred to superb herdsire, Snowmass Velvet Legend, whose EPDs are outstanding with an expected AFD of -1.7! He’s in the top 2.5% of all the animals tested in the nation. On October 22, 2014, Holly had a gorgeous fawn girl that looks to have fine fleece with good crimp and a long staple. Holly's price does not include her 2014 cria.

LuTau is a striking appaloosa male that has a good chance of being homozygous for the appaloosa gene, so you "serious" appaloosa breeders need to check this guy out! LuTau's fleece has incredible crimp, structure, and staple. If you are breeding for appaloosas, or are even considering breeding for this unusual pattern, LuTau is not one to miss! His fleece is one to behold - great architecture in the long staple, with blinding brightness and consistency. And check out his histogram from a sample submitted of both light and dark fibers; AFD 17.6, SD 3.6, Curvature 64.3. That SD of 3.6 is fantastic when considering the sample was both his light and dark fawn colors! LuTau is the first cria from Vintage Cashmere's U-Taupe-Ia, a male with the appaloosa gene on both sides of the family (Hannaruh and Chiquita). LuTau's dam is the amazingly-patterned appaloosa, Enchanted Hill Appalucy, who also has the appaloosa gene on both sides of the family (Maria's Angel, LTD Treasure, and Xus). That's FIVE different appaloosa genes coming together in this male! In 2016, he stormed through his show career, , never taking anything lower than a blue ribbon! On April 9, 2016, LuTua took the blue in walking fleece and the blue in halter at the California Classic, and on October 23, 2016 received another blue ribbon at the Alpaca Breeders Invitational in Oregon! In April 2017, LuTau finished his show career with yet another blue ribbon at the California Classic. LuTau has started his breeding career, settling his first girl in September 2017. We look forward to what this young male will produce!
