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! Shalimar won first place at the 2018 CABA Classic show! At the 2018 Alpacapalooza show, Jude Anderson awarded Shalimar another Blue Ribbon, then he and his sister (Estates Passion's New Fallen Snow) earned their dam (Snowmass Starz Sunrise) the Blue Ribbon for Produce of Dam!

Ear tag #688 "Kassandra is a beautiful silver grey female with bright, high frequency crimp. She has a lovely handle and VERY fine fleece. She has excellent conformation, including her bite, and will no doubt be an excellent breeding female, just like her dam. Kassandra ranked Top 25% EPD’s in 2020. Sixth Generation Grey Girl with Enlightenment and Beatriz Genetics! Her sire, NS Magic Flight, is out of Snowmass Enlightenment and Almost Paradise Farms Beatriz, and is producing excellent cria after excellent cira. He’s a multiple time Champion and has amazing fineness, hand, and density! Her dam is one of our best producers and a foundation TB female, Matalyn – who also happens to be the dam of our incredible herdsire, Chief Grey Feather! She is the recipient of multiple show ribbons, and has amazing fineness and density in her fleece. Judge Timmerman’s Analysis: “Lovely female with density. Super softness! Very fine.”-Alpaca Country Estates Kassandra is a sweet girl but a little shy. She is great on a halter and likes to play in water. She is calm among the herd and not a trouble maker. Great mom who produced a beautiful healthy Cria for us in June 2023. She is open for holding deposit but cannot leave our farm until that Cria is weaned in late December 2023 or early January 2024.
