Memories had an easy delivery of a gorgeous little girl on July 1st 2021 that we've named "Suzette!" Memories was bred to our herdsire Blooming Field’s Matrix’s Sunrise for a Summer 2021 cria. This is the first breeding to “Sunny” for Memories and we can’t wait to see the result of this pairing! Memories has awesome 2018 EPD stats in the top 1% for %F > 30 micron, top 2% for AFD and SF, top 2% for %M, and top 8% for MC!! We welcomed Memories' first male cria September 2017. "Dino" is a handsome little fella who's growing fast and Memories in proving once again to be a terrific mom. Blooming Field Farm's Dino is out of our herdsire Nikias. With the super pedigree and fiber traits of both parents we anticipate Dino could be something special. Memories delivered her 2nd baby girl on 6/12/16; Blooming Field Farm's Tina. Tina is from our very own herdsire, Heather's Acre Accoyo Nikias! Memories gave us an adorable, healthy female cria on 6/4/15. This cria's sire is the infamous XANADU P CONCERTO! She is beautiful and we've named her Blooming Field Farm's Gingersnap. XANADU P CONCERTO (now co-owned by Spirit Wind Farm & Fiber Studio and Finger Lakes Alpacas) has sired some truly elite alpacas, most notably the exceptional "Spirit Wind's Maestro" who now has several Championship banners under his belt. Let's just say we're very excited about "Gingersnap's" potential! Memories is a beautiful female sired by the late award winning herdsire, Aussie Hill's Imagine, a Jericho son. She has the low micron count, and low SD that we are striving for in our breeding program. Memories did very well at the 2012 AOBA National Fleece Show. We are so excited to have her superior fiber genetics which are so integral to the future fiber industry. Memories' genetic background includes Jericho, Mr. Zesto, Don Julio on her sire's side and Orion and Royal Fawn on her dam's. Memories' sire is none other than the late "Aussie Hill's Imagine", a MFI Jericho son who earned 8 blue ribbons and 2 banners during his show career and sired many show-winning offspring. We are proud to have the stellar genetics of this late champion here at Blooming Field Farm. Imagine's dam is MFI Candy Corn, a Chilean girl who maintained lingering fineness with an AFD of 19 at 12 years of age! She has also produced some incredibly successful and show worthy offspring. Past comments by our certified sorter regarding Memories' fleece have been..."Impressive crimp & bundling. Very soft, very uniform blanket. A fleece to be proud of." Brightness was rated a 9/10, density a 7-8/10, and uniformity of crimp/lock style a 9/10.

Genotype: Ee Aa LuTau is a striking appaloosa male that has a good chance of being homozygous for the appaloosa gene, so you "serious" appaloosa breeders need to check this guy out! LuTau's fleece has incredible crimp, structure, and staple. If you are breeding for appaloosas, or are even considering breeding for this unusual pattern, LuTau is not one to miss! His fleece is one to behold - great architecture in the long staple, with blinding brightness and consistency. And check out his histogram from a sample submitted of both light and dark fibers; AFD 17.6, SD 3.6, Curvature 64.3. That SD of 3.6 is fantastic when considering the sample was both his light and dark fawn colors! LuTau is the first cria from Vintage Cashmere's U-Taupe-Ia, a male with the appaloosa gene on both sides of the family (Hannaruh and Chiquita). LuTau's dam is the amazingly-patterned appaloosa, Enchanted Hill Appalucy, who also has the appaloosa gene on both sides of the family (Maria's Angel, LTD Treasure, and Xus). That's FIVE different appaloosa genes coming together in this male! In 2016, he stormed through his show career, , never taking anything lower than a blue ribbon! On April 9, 2016, LuTua took the blue in walking fleece and the blue in halter at the California Classic, and on October 23, 2016 received another blue ribbon at the Alpaca Breeders Invitational in Oregon! In April 2017, LuTau finished his show career with yet another blue ribbon at the California Classic
