Kit Carson has once again returned to CA for the winter/spring and can't wait to meet your girls! We're so excited to have him back and are looking forward to showing his youngsters at the Gold Country Gathering this fall! Recently at the 2021 Gold Country Gathering, our first show in two years, son MHAR Aurelio Carson won RC in Walking Fleece! Judge Cheryl Gehly comment on his fineness, uniformity across primaries/secondaries and lack of guard hair! Check out his 2020 cria fleece (6 months). The photo doesn't do it justice as it rivals dad's for brightness and character! 2019 saw daughter Ebonni Carson win CC in walking fleece (TB) at the Gold Country Gathering under Wini Labrecque! We're so in love with all his cria, but this one is truly special:) The first thing we noticed about his cria is the outstanding vigor, and once dry the brightness of the fleece! And the fleece character is no slouch either. As the cria have grown, we're seeing excellent early density and crimp, glowing brightness, and yummy softness/hand. Oh and the depth of color! Check out the pix of some of our first cria in all their dusty glory. Oh and let's not forget personality... these cria are among the most laid back and easiest to train that we have produced! KC took his first championship at 8 months of age. Since then, his fleece has maintained its length and fineness and he remains one of the best grey males in the country. His production has not disappointed with multiple championships among his offspring. To date we've counted at least 18 of his offspring have won RCC or Color Championships! Among the most recent are RR Crawford, RR Lancelot, 4-Sight's Centerfold, MHAR's Ebonni Carson and MHAR Aurelio Carson. If you have a look at his Watt follicle testing results, the reasons will be obvious. The mix of black and white fibers in his grey is homogeneous in micron. He is the only alpaca, male or female, that carries the best characteristics of the Snowmass Peruvian Casanova and Guns n Roses lines. His follicle density testing by Ian Watt is outstanding at 2 years of age: Density: 57.9/mm2 Secondary: Primary fiber ratio: 9.8:1 In-skin primary fiber diameter: 22.3 micron SD 3.2 In-skin secondary fiber diameter: 13.7 micron SD 2.5 Comments: "High density coupled with an excellent set of numbers for the secondary fiber population give this male potential as a significant sire in .... a group not known for its uniformity within each fiber population. This is a significant animal for silver grey alpacas, where the black fibers tend to be very strong in micron and vary across the staple in most alpacas of this colour.

Shaniko has a fantastic staple length, rich true black color and bold crimp style with fantastic grey genetics! This girl is a daughter of the legendary Patagonia’s Lennox, who has countless ribbons, and is a 3-time Get of Sire blue ribbon winner! Not to mention, he’s the sire of Ernesto, an 8-time champion and Judge’s Choice winner! On her dam’s side, Shaniko is the granddaughter of NeverSummer’s US Steel, an Aussie .38 Special son who has won numerous championships and had numerous ribbon winning offspring. Shaniko will make a great addition to any grey breeding program. Shaniko's first cria was stillborn due to a birth defect. We've since rebred her to an amazing silver grey stud, Estates Silver Boreas, a Chief Grey Feather son and US Steel grandson. We can't wait to see what they produce!

News flash, Spotless has settled his first girls and they are happily spitting. We'll be ultrasounding in the near future. But we're confident they'll be confirmed pregnant. We can't wit to see what he produces! Silver Select (AKA Spotless) is new to us. We purchased him after his showing closely behind our boy Leo at the Gold Country Gathering 2021. We're anxious to see how they both grow and develop especially considering they have very different genetic backgrounds. In the 2022 CA Classic, Spotless was described by the judges as similar to Leo, though a bit less dense. Given his lineage, we expect that will improve. In Walking Fleece, Judge David Barbosa praised his very uniform fleece with soft hand, nice bundling and character. We showed his fleece in two 2022 shows. In the AOA National Fleece Show Judge Amanda Vandenbosch praised his soft fleece in a very competitive class. In the CALPACA Autumn Fleece Extravaganza, Judge Beverley Brehm commented on his beautiful crimp and very fine secondaries throughout. In the 2022 Gold Country Gathering, Spotless was awarded 1st place and Reserve Champion in Halter, with Judge Stephanie Glyptis commenting on his better fineness, uniformity and density as well as a nice conformation. In walking fleece, Judge Dianna Timmerman commented on the nice brightness and hand with good length when awarding him 2nd place.
