We are sad to announce that Daytona passed away this past winter (2023) of unknown causes. His information will continue to be displayed for reference as he has many offspring, including more to come this summer. Daytona's cria have proven just how capable Daytona is at producing black with such a variety of dam colors. We are thrilled with his offspring. They are dense, silky, crimpy, extremely well put together conformationally, and have such lovely presence. In 2016, Daytona produced 5 black, 1 dark grey, and 1 brown cria. Dams ranged in color from black to beige, but most were fawn and brown. Daytona exceeded our expectations. Histograms are showing that Daytona offspring are following in his footsteps - first year results as fine as 15, but averaging 17.5 microns. Excellent uniformity and comfort factor as well with vast improvements in density. The incredibly handsome Crescent Moon's Daytona joined our herd in north central Idaho in 2015. His fiber stats prove that he is holding his uniformity, fineness, and density with a fleece weight of over 5 lbs for his blanket, and 10 lbs overall. He also exhibits wonderful brightness as commented on by the judges. It is inspiring to see these characteristics in true black along with undeniably outstanding conformation. Daytona has acquired an impressive show record: 1st at The Futurity, Color Champion at GWAS, and much more. Daytona excels in many aspects, but what jumps out is his uniformity. When you look at his fleece, you notice (besides his impressive density, brightness, and fineness) that something is missing - guard hair. Daytona's fleece is like glass - absolutely uniform well across the blanket in color (no spots!), silky fineness, crimp, length, density, and lack of guard hair...all the way down the belly! You can see that uniformity in his histograms too with low standard deviation and %>30, even on his adult fleeces. Put that on top of a well-balanced frame and 'look-at-me' presence, and oh boy. Daytona is a product of 3 esteemed breeding programs coming together - Flying Dutchman Alpacas on his sire's side (sire: Skywalker by Poseidon of FDA), Fir Cove Alpacas on his dam's (dam: Fir Cove Bonita), and Crescent Moon bringing it all together with their stamp of approval. Take a look at the plethora of Accoyo bloodlines - PCA Accoyo El Nino, Caligula's Accoyo Poseidon - and well-known color producers such as PPeruvian Victor. Examples of Daytona offspring available for sale now: 1 black proven herdsire - National Champion, AHarmony's Nocino 1 beautiful brown extremely fine and dense female - Sweet Pines' Manzanita 1 very dense maiden (bred) true black female - Sweet Pines Regal

PACKAGE DEAL: Ponderosa is now being offered with her beautiful female cria out of Flare's Incan Nightfire (FIN). The last time we got a light fawn out of FIN, she went on to produce black, grey, and dark brown offspring. Ponderosa's little girl has wonderful conformation and a long silky fleece. Both Ponderosa and her cria would be excellent additions to any breeding program Ponderosa is a truly beautiful alpaca with straight model-like conformation and excellent presence. Her bright and silky fleece holds extreme fineness, which she gets from both dam and sire. Ponderosa's sire is AHarmony's Espiritu de Tequila (ET). ET has incredible Peruvian genetics with generations of extreme fineness. His first AFD was only 14 microns! ET's conformation is perfectly square and straight with excellent bone substance and a very attractive head. Other outstanding features of ET's fleece include excellent density and lovely crimp. Ponderosa's dam, AHarmony's Juliaetta, is also extremely fine, holding a soft grade 1 fleece well into adulthood. She is an award winner herself and is consistently producing the highest quality offspring, including her son, Daytona's Nocino, a national black color champion.

Infinitos Desoto is an absolutely captivating dark roan male boasting an impressive fleece, striking appearance, and formidable genetic lineage. Sired by the renowned national champion, Springtoo Jamahl, Desoto requires little introduction. However, his genetic prowess is further enhanced by his dam, Infinitos Hotty Totty, an Ezekial's Challenger of Marquam Hill daughter renowned for her vibrant, lustrous fleece. This dynamic genetic combination has already proven its merit with Desoto's multi-champion sister, Infinitos Charlie, setting the stage for his own exceptional potential. Desoto impeccably embodies these positive genetic attributes within an impressive physical package. His commanding presence and striking stature make him a standout in the pasture, drawing attention effortlessly. Upon closer inspection, Desoto's fleece does not disappoint, exhibiting dense, rich fibers that glisten when parted. His luxurious dark fleece is a testament to his fine, consistent fiber production across the blanket, with an abundance of fleece due to his remarkable density and lengthy staple length. While it may seem surprising to offer such a remarkable male for sale, Desoto represents the culmination of 20 years of dedicated alpaca breeding, with a pedigree deeply rooted in IAR genetics. Regrettably, due to limitations in our female herd, we are unable to fully utilize his breeding potential. Though it's difficult to part with such a valuable asset, we take pride in presenting Desoto as a potent young stud for your consideration, knowing he will continue to contribute to the advancement of quality alpaca genetics.
