GEM Forrest Gump (Peruvian Kismitt X Bolivian Solember) ILR# pending Birthdate: 9/20/09 This very small male has a suri sire, but has curly, lanuda fiber. He is staying very small & has nice straight legs. He is calm as can be and could be purchased as a future miniature herd sire or would make a nice 4-H project animal, too. As a herdsire prospect, he is for sale for $600, or less for a 4-H family or pet. 
FPL Caberet (MGF Cinnemax X RNDZVS Chablis) ILR# pending Birthdate: 8/29/2009 Caberet attracts a lot of attention at the farm with her gray spots. She is always ready to greet newcomers to the pasture, with her friendly personality, which is just like her dam. I expect this gal to be a nice addition to our 4-H project & other shows, too. We hope she will stay small, but as her sire is not AMLA registered, she cannot be shown as a mini until we see what her size is @ 3 years of age. But we are very happy to add her our herd & I am looking forward to using her exquisitely soft fiber next year. 
Hermoine (Stage Stop Ebony and Ivory X Chilean Spanish Lace) ILR# Pending Birthdate: 6/14/09 Finally, a girl! And we have a beautiful one-a paint! 16# & full of energy. We were present for the birth event on a sunny afternoon. This little one always stays close to the other crias we’ve had this year. You can find them busy playing most anytime of the day, chasing & creating havoc with the others that are soon to be Moms, as most are due in early fall. Anyway-this one is a crowd pleaser, with great looks, color and conformation. She will surely be in the show ring next year! 
Harry Potter (Stage Stop Ebony and Ivory x Midnight Mini) ILR# pending Birthdate: 7/14/09 Another outstanding cria by Ebony & for the second time he has thrown gorgeous color. This cria’s name fits him, as he even has a bolt of lightning on his forehead! He is small & small & just what we have been hoping for! The fiber across his back is almost suri like & the rest is very silky. He appears to have the really nice conformation of his sire & he is out of my smallest & nicest females. It will be fun to watch this one grow! When weaned, he will be for sale: $1500. 
Icarus (Argentine Gustavo x Chilena Lalolita) ILR# Pending Birthdate: 6/02/09 Icarus is out of the best fibered female I own and with an argentine dad, he will likely out do even his dam’s fiber quality. His conformation appears almost perfect, too. I would expect fiber artists will be very interested this boy, though I may want to keep him just for that reason. If you are looking for a male that will improve the fiber in your herd, this is the guy. For sale after weaning: $1200. 
Rorschach (M) (Argentine Gustavo X Bolivian Mancha) ILR pending, Birthdate: 9/16/08 Notice the "inkblots" on this boy's face? As a result, we gave him the name of the famous inkblot test. He has incredible coloring and conformation as you can see as well as lots of energy! We expect him to maintain the calm personality of his dam & sire. His fiber is silky on his neck & somewhat curly throughout the body, similar to Gustavo. This guy promises to be a pasture standout & probable great herdsire. We are planning to keep him to maintain Gustavo’s bloodline. He will be shown this summer in 4-H & perhaps some Midwest llama shows, too! 
Titan Moon (M) (Argentine Rio Rojo x Midnight Mini) ILR# pending Birthdate: 6/27/08 What a surprise to get a white cria out of a black dam & dark red sire, but we are very pleased! He has a lot gray mixed into his fiber, making him look very sleek. He is as independent as they get and smart as a whip. After 2 halter trainings, he decided to quit fighting & just stood there & looked at us like he was saying “What now?” He has the coveted argentine fiber, so smooth & silky. Fiber artists will be scrambling for his fiber for sure! That is, if I’m willing to sell it (which I doubt!). Add a purple pack to this guy & he would look just like the new 2009 American Girl doll companion, which is a baby mini llama, Starburst! 
CTF Rock Solid Ares
(CTF Newby x Chilena Lalolita) ILR# 271311 Birthdate: 8/13/07 Look at the white chin & you’ll know the Grandsire is GNLC Ripcurl! He arrived unannounced, unexpected. & had the audacity to be running all over the pasture as we tried to catch him to weigh him & provide newborn care. Energy to burn! Out of CTF Newby from TX, we are pleased as can be. He looks just like his sire, born black, but now softening to a beautiful grey brown with black tips. With a birthweight of 16# we are hopeful he may stay small. If not, some lucky standard-size breeder may find that elusive pot of gold! He was grand champion in halter with Katie showing him in our local 4-H show last summer! 
DPDL King Oberon (Bolivian Showtyme Xpress x Serenity Acres Centennial) ILR# 271503 Birthdate: 5/26/07 Here is our first ever cria! What an exciting Memorial Day weekend. He finally arrived 3 weeks overdue, weighing 25# and was full of vim and vigor! His coloring could not please us more. A tri-color out of Showtyme Xpress (36") X Centennial (37.2"). Shown in 4-H last summer, he is easy to manage & his conformation & fiber is outstanding! This boy has suddenly had a growth spurt & is nearly 38 inches @ 2 years, so we have decided to drop his price to only $500, to be sold as a guard, pet or 4-H llama. This boy has a great personality & is very easy to handle. |
