Shasta is a beautiful harlequin boy out of some rare appy genetics. He appears to have gotten his spots from his mother, an import. His first cria on our farm appears to be harlequin! Second cria, a female, well--the jury is still out on her. She appears to be going through a color change, maybe a platinum appaloosa! Shasta has medium bone and for a nine year old boy he looks darn good! We have repeated his breedings from last year and can't wait to see what he produces next year.

Autumn, please don't tell the other alpacas, is my favorite girl. She has been my favorite all along, since the day she was born. She is calm, sweet, and super smart. When I chose to concentrate my breeding on appaloosa genetics, I knew I would still be keeping Autumn. In Autumn's background is PPPeruvian Betty Jane. Imagine my joy when my friend, Kitt, told me she is a known harlequin carrier! Weeelllllll, I do not think that even dynamite could blast her from my grasp now. We have bred her to Adam for a Oct 2018 cria.

Description

Where to start about Tango? He is in our jr herdsire row anxiously waiting to get his turn to breed. I'm not sure who is more anxious, him or us! He has been healthy and energetic since he came into this world. His dam is one of my favorite dams of all time, Autumn. She herself comes from a rare harlequin carrier, Ppperuvian Betty Jane. Tango's sire, Shasta Springs Kodachrome, inherited his spots from his import dam, Tilama-Chapoco. Put them together and we got Tango! His disposition matches his good looks, too. With two tries, we got him to jump in the back of our CRV and don a rose garland and take part in a wedding in Nov 2018. It looks like he will be breeding in the fall of 2019 and we look forward to that! His fiber stats aren't too shabby, either. He is a big improvement on his sire and that is what we are aiming for. His cria will be awesome! He is not related to any appaloosa alpaca out there. This is one to keep an eye on.
