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.

Ransom was a "coup de coeur" at a show we attended and well...she came back home with us! She has been part of our best producing classic grey females ever since. Ransom has a compact, boxy frame with a great head style...a real true-to-type conformation and this is what caught our eye first but looking into her fleece was just as impressive! Great density, with a super high frequency crimp and delightfully fine fleece from head to toe. Really the whole package in grey! Although she was competing against one of our top classic grey females at the time (Saona Rose), Ransom was able to hold her own in the show ring! She would have certainly had a few more RC wins and maybe even CC wins should there had been enough grey entries in the shows where she placed right in front or right behind of Saona. Ransom has produced some of our best crias in the last couple of years, her offspring are simply amazing! In 2021, she has produced a stunning rosegrey male (Rusty) out of our Bomber son Wingman. Rusty has an eye-catching conformation just like his dam and he has even won CC at his first fleece show (cria fleece) in the fall of 2022. This little guy will will be shown again in the spring of 2023 and will most certainly become part of our herdsire row when of age! We look forward to having a few more outstanding cria from this amazing female before she retires!

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!
