Son of Maple Brook Barnabus (aka Mr. Superfine) and our TAF Kira, Tate has commenced herdsire duties for Alpaca East, producing three crias so far, one of whom, Kuyayky, just walked away with a couple of firsts at the Springfield shows this April 2018. Tate's fleece is very bright, very soft and fine (and there's a lot of it!). He's grown into rather a macho boy, and when he's standing alert up in the pasture looking at the girls, he is a sight to behold, yet, at the same time, he is very easy to be around and handle.

In her first show, the 2004 North American, Nina went into the show ring against some top white juveniles and took a 3rd. Then at the Big E she scored the blue and the Reserve Champion banner despite being the youngest female in a combined class of 14. In the yearling bred and owned competition at the 2004 Empire Extravaganza the judges declared that Nina had the "best fleece" in the class. Mike Safley had her paraded in front of the stands as he exclaimed "You can see the bundling from there!" She is exceptionally crimpy and uniform with amazing coverage. Nina is currently bred with our Barnabus' Tate, cria due in June 2018.
