GENOTYPE: Ee Aa3 Non-Grey We are thrilled to have added Ariya Pure Reserve’s Jophiel to our herdsire lineup in 2022! Jophiel encompasses everything we are looking for in a light-colored sire. His fleece is simply exquisite and is maturing nicely. He is retaining excellent fineness and uniformity for age and displays amazing density from head to toe. He also has a strong typey conformation on a solid upright frame. Honestly, what’s not to love about this boy! Jophiel will certainly pass on his elite characteristics to his offspring as does his 3x Judge's Choice winning dam, Sunnyhill Conopa’s Spirit, and his game-changing sire, Snowmass Pure Reserve XX. Pure Reserve is known to cover black and has had many dark and even black offspring when bred to darker females. We have faith that Jophiel will also cover black and will be able to produce silvers and blacks when bred accordingly. Although we have bred Jophiel to some of our darker females to see what he produces, he will officially be genotyped in 2023 so we have a better understanding of his color potential. Jophiel is part of the ''Golden Line'' of full siblings (Sunnyhill Conopa’s Spirit x Snowmass Pure Reserve XX) produced before Pure Reserve's exportation to Europe. His full brother, Golden Treasure, is a 3x Fawn CC who won the Judge's Choice | Supreme Male award at the 2022 Alpaga Quebec Halter Show at the age of 45 months. His full sister, True Spirit, is a 4x Fawn CC who also won a Judge's Choice | Supreme Female award in 2018. Being part of an elite program and herd, Jophiel just happen to fly a bit under the radar compared to his full siblings so he does not have any show records. His pedigree, fiber stats and EPDs do however reveal his potential and place him in this elite golden group. We are confident that he will pass on his true potential to progeny and into our program. We would like to thank Ariya Alpacas for allowing us to bring Jophiel, an absolute gem, into our lineup! UPDATE: Jophiel has produced his first crias in 2022 and they are stunning! We cannot wait to see what this exquisite male produces in our program as his first crias are due early June 2023 on our farm...stay tuned!

Saona Rose is the first classic rosegrey we had ever produced here on the farm and what a female she has been for our program! Winner of multiple CC and RC ribbons, with the most memorable one as a juvie coming SOOOOO close to even winning the Supreme Female title (equivalent to Judge Choice in Canada). The judge hesitated, came back to see her a couple of times, comparing her to the white and fawn CC and finally gave it to one of the solid light female. We had never seen a classic grey come so close to a Supreme before in Canada and sometimes, as a grey breeder, you just have to take that as a win ;) Just like her dam, Saona is a well built female, displaying heavy bone density with great coverage. Her fiber is absolutely exceptional with wonderfully fine secondaries, very few and fine primaries, has incredible density, great staple length and a high MC. This multiple champion female is part of our top tier classic females and we look forward to many crias from this incredible girl! Saona is bred to Ariya Pure Reserve's Jophiel for a 2023 cria.
