Saona Rose is the first classic rosegrey we had ever produced here on the farm and what a female she has been for our program! Winner of multiple CC and RC ribbons, with the most memorable one as a juvie coming SOOOOO close to even winning the Supreme Female title (equivalent to Judge Choice in Canada). The judge hesitated, came back to see her a couple of times, comparing her to the white and fawn CC and finally gave it to one of the solid light female. We had never seen a classic grey come so close to a Supreme before in Canada and sometimes, as a grey breeder, you just have to take that as a win ;) Just like her dam, Saona is a well built female, displaying heavy bone density with great coverage. Her fiber is absolutely exceptional with wonderfully fine secondaries, very few and fine primaries, has incredible density, great staple length and a high MC. This multiple champion female is part of our top tier classic females and we look forward to many crias from this incredible girl! Saona is bred to Ariya Pure Reserve's Jophiel for a 2023 cria.

GENOTYPE: Ee a1a2 Classic Grey We are so thrilled to have added this fantastic new classic grey male to our lineup! Plum Creek’s Taji made its way to Canada mid-summer 2022 and we are expecting his first offspring in 2023. Taji’s typey conformation, solid square frame and superior fleece qualities are everything we look for in a classic grey herdsire and he will certainly be a great successor to Wingman, our Bomber son, who is now back in the US. Taji is one of only 2 registered classic grey son sired by Bellarmine (ATV Adonnis)…the other one being Crescent Moon’s Emmaus! Taji’s MSG dam, Estates Yanni, has retained beautiful fineness and uniformity with age (4th fleece: 18.8 | 3.9 | 1.2% >30 | MC 47.4). No surprises here as she comes from prominent grey lineage in NS Magic Flight (Snowmass Enlightenment) and more great lineage in Patagonia’s Ernesto (Patagonia’s Lennox). Being the product of excellent bloodlines, it's no surprise that Taji has done extremely well in both halter and fleece shows and that his fiber stats are simply delightful! We cannot wait to start creating our next generation of awesome greys with this boy! Taji will remain exclusive for 2022 and will be opened to outside breedings in 2023. We wish to thank Brian and Valerie from Plum Creek Alpacas for allowing us to bring Taji into our program! UPDATE: Taji's first two crias in Canada both win Grey Colour Champion at their first halter show! The judge had very similar comments for both juvies pointing out a great combination of positive fleece traits and confirmation traits. Both juvies displayed a high degree of organization thanks to incredible fineness and uniformity of micron combined to above average follicular density; a combination that is more rarely found in classic grey! We are absolutely thrilled with these results and comments and we look forward to many more offspring from this amazing male!
