We call Ramita our "diamond in the rough" - A poster child for the importance of genetic background. Let's face it .... she just isn't a show girl. But she comes from three generations of careful, "NeverSummer" breeding matches. Ramita's sire, Tickity Boo Dino, has extremely nice handle to his fleece, and bold crimp too. He won several top awards during his show career in Canada. Dino comes from two gray parents, and has produced exceptional offspring. Offspring: In 2010, Ramita had her first cria is an absolutely stunning, TRUE BLACK, Aussie .38 Special daughter. "NEVERSUMMER'S LUCILLE" received the Blue Ribbon in a super competitive class of 8 at the 2011 International Alpaca Odyssey where the three judge panel placed her above last year's Futurity Color Champion! In his orals Dr.Julio Sumar (one of the three judges) commented on her fineness, uniformity, heavy dense locks and extreme luster. Lucille won two color championship banners at IAO in 2012. In 2011, Ramita delivered 38'S RENDEZVOUS NS, another beautiful Aussie .38 Special cria with a fabulous fleece! This time its a CMRG male with "Herdsire" written all over him. It was an "OMG!" moment when we cria sheared the handsome fellow. His fleece is so reminiscent of big sister Lucille - super lustrous, silky, dense, well-organized locks. In 2012, Ramita followed that up with a lovely MSG Aussie .38 Special daughter, NEVERSUMMER'S GLORY DAZE. Glory Daze was a multi ribbon winner on the 2014 show circuit. In 2014, Ramita had ESTATES REBEKAH, a lovely bay black female, sired by NeverSummer's US Steel. Steel is a handsome Aussie .38 Special son who inherited his sire's trademark silky handle.

ESTATES SHALIMAR Four centuries ago, in India, Emperor Shah Jahan fell hopelessly in love with Princess Mumtaz Mahal. He dedicated the Taj Mahal to her and had the elegant Gardens of Shalimar built for her as well. The Shalimar Gardens were laid out as a Persian paradise garden intended to create a representation of an earthly utopia in which humans co-exist in perfect harmony with all elements of nature. This enchanting tale was the inspiration of our Estates Shalimar. Shalimar is a gorgeous medium fawn male with a clean blanket. He has dense, fine fleece with a soft handle. Shalimar ranked in the Top 10% EPD in 2021! Shalimar has two amazing show animals as parents. His sire is none other than 7x Champion Crescent Moon’s Simtustus, a medium fawn male from two grey parents and WOW fleece! Even though he is a fawn, Simtustus contributes significant grey genetics to his offspring, along with fineness and advanced fleece characteristics. Shalimar's dam, Snowmass Starz Sunrise is a 2x Blue Ribbon Produce of Dam Winner! She is the daughter of multi-champion Snowmass Conopa XXX, who took a first place in the AOBA World Fleece Show, and now resides Canada. Her dam, Snowmass Sizlin Starz, is a blue-ribbon daughter of Snowmass 'Sizlin Hot' (now standing in England as a leading genetic line for fine fleece improvement, which has been proven in his line 5 generations strong!) Her maternal grandsire, 5Peruvian Red Hot, is one of the finest and most consistent color studs Snowmass has ever produced. MULTPLE BLUE-RIBBON WINNER AND CHAMPION PRODUCER!
