YW Pinata

Although so many of our llamas hold special places in our hearts, Pinata is my personal, all time favorite. She was the perfect show llama, not only knowing exaclty what to do, but also knowing when she had won! She earned her ALSA ROM, a Championship, 7th at Grand Nationals and 7th at the Celebrity World Futurity. We had a fun career in the show ring, where Pinata became more of a partner than “just” a show llama. Pinata’s mother is continuing to produce show-quality cria, and we are anxious to have Pinata’s first cria, hopefully to follow in her footsteps!

Grace and Favor of King MT (Deceased)

Gracie

We purchased Gracie in Reno almost a decade ago, and she has been integral to our herd ever since. If the industry recognized what suri fiber was back then, her price would have been beyond our reach. She has been an excellent mother, producing a half a dozen crias for us so far, including the incredible YW Kona Lady, who we retained in our progam. What a surprise to have Kona and Gracie, both shiny, black llamas, give us beautiful appaloosa babies last spring! Gracie’s babies have had her solid, heavy bone, and all her babies have her silky, shiny fiber, some of which have been nearly suri. We will try to encourage that suri content with a breeding to Adonis. Her babies include YW Scirocco, YW Kona Lady, and YW Sand Pebble Cruz.

East Fork Shania (Sold)

Shania

Shania is a tall, stretchy female with an excellent topline; her silhouette bespeaks the “perfect” llama. Shania comes from the suri North American lines at East Fork, and her babies have had high luster, silky fiber. We are going to see if we can leverage those suri genetics by breeding her to our new suri male, Star Adonis. Shania is an excellent mother and her babies have had her size and solid structure. She is one of those classic quality females with today’s high luster, silky/suri fiber. Her babies include YW Rumba  and YW Shalom Cruz.
