A rose grey male was produced.....While researching the dam side of Xander it's no surprise that this happened because there is so much history of greys in the Emerald Farm Orlando Cloud line. Ariya Maringo's Xander participated in both fleece and halter show and received Color Champion in both. Xander is square and boxy, a real true to type conformation. His fleece received comments like "Such a beautiful color! Fine, fine, secondaries in this dense, bright fleece! June 21, 2021, Xander's first offspring is on the ground and he's proven to produce grey with his first medium rose grey female out of Super Sonic's Silver and Silk. Résultats du test de couleur du pelage en alpaga: EE Aa1 Phénotype de la couche de base : W F BB Classic Grey N'étant pas un éleveur de gris, j'étais tellement surpris quand Xander est venu au monde. Un mâle gris rose a été produit ..... Lors de la recherche du côté maternel de Xander, il n'est pas surprenant que cela se soit produit car il y a tellement d'histoire de gris dans la lignée Emerald Farm Orlando Cloud. Xander d'Ariya Maringo a participé à la fois au concours de toison et de licou et a reçu le titre de champion de couleur dans les deux. Xander a une vraie conformation de type. Sa toison a reçu des commentaires du type « Une si belle couleur ! Fine, fine, des secondaires dans cette toison dense et lumineuse ! Le 21 juin 2021, la première progéniture de Xander est au sol et il a prouvé qu'il produit du gris avec sa première femelle gris rose moyen issue de Super Sonic's Silver and Silk.

Tamara is one of the most stunning true black we have produced up to now. With a compact frame and beautiful head, she is one of our favorite foundation girls here. Although she inherited great density from her sire and good fineness and uniformity of her dam, one of her most impressive and striking fiber quality is her staple length. Her 5th fleece came in just short of 5 inches at shearing! Needless to say this is one of the longest staple length for age on our farm and her EPD tends to confirms that. She still ranks top 5% at age 8 for MSL and definitely passes on this trait to her crias which almost all rank Top 1% for that same trait. Tamara also carries a ton of fleece and her crias are always heavy fleeced beasts :) Although MSL seems more and more detrimental to halter and fleece showing these days and that this valuable trait is slowly being almost bred out across herds in both the US and Canada, we feel that it is very important for fiber processing longevity (and let's not forget, adds to overall fleece weight!). Too little or too much can certainly be detrimental for showing purposes but in terms of breeding value, we feel that this trait is clearly underrated and should be considered and valued as much as other traits such as MC, AFD or SD in the constant pursuit of the "perfect fleece"! Although her crias have all ranked top 1% for MSL, some still carry a high MC (have a look at her son Helix's fleece!). Her 2 classic silver sons from Wingman have also won CC and RC in 2022 (one behind the other!) so exceptional MSL is clearly not always detrimental to showing! That said, we highly value what this exceptional girl brings to our program and we look forward to many more crias from her! Tamara is bred to Ariya Pure Reserve's Jophiel for a 2023 cria. We are expecting a homerun with this one and hopefully a female cria this time around ;)
