Not Actually Sold as he passed away, but I didn't want to delete him as we have his genetics on our farm! *** NEWS FLASH 7/14/18*** It is with a sad heart that I have to post that Snowmass Enlightened passed away today peacefully in our pasture. He had congestive heart failure which was confirmed at Oregon State Vet School and we were treating him with medicines, but he had too much leakage in the valves in his heart. We are happy that we have 9 females pregnant to him this season and 10 females and 2 boys previsoulsy born on our farm. He was such an amazing herdsire and we will miss him dearly. Skyline Alpacas is extremely pleased to announce the arrival of our newest herdsire, Snowmass Enlightened. One can’t say enough about the quality of this male. I first saw his 2-year-old fleece (3rd fleece) at the CABA Classic fleece show in 2013 and couldn’t believe my eyes. The density, crimp, uniformity, and brightness were truly amazing. No wonder he got Color Champion! Never in my dreams did I think I someday would be the proud owner of this fine male! Here is what Snowmass had to say about their boy: “Snowmass Enlightened is a supernal, Multi-Champion Rose Grey Stud. His evolution descends from a remarkable lineage of momentous sires. Most Proximate is his own sire, Snowmass Enlightenment, who is also a multi-champion rose grey stud. He is sired by multi-champion Snowmass XXXtreme, who is sired by Multi-champion Snowmass Royal Rose… All of this is a proven grey performance at its paramount. Enlightened has a variety of grey, fawn, and dark offspring – all of which are stunning. Their fleeces are all consistently fine, dense, and bright with their sire’s sublime aesthetic in their overall phenotype.” Now that is an impressive genetic history that shows generation after generation of excellence. We can’t wait to see his first cria on our farm in 2015! We were not disappointed! We had multiple grey crias and they went on to win many ribbons at the shows. Enlightened also got 2nd in get a sire at Aplacapalooza. This class was not divided into dark and light so it was extremely competitive!

****Fabulous News! Layla is now available in our wonderful package! Also, Layla has been bred to Hot Tamale, a wonderful male! She is a great mom! Her 2021 cria is a beautiful black male! He was born 6/20/21. On 3/25/19, Layla delivered a gorgeous very light grey boy. He is super cute and so friendly with us! We named him Cupid! 9/30/17 Layla delivered the most gorgeous grey boy cria! We are thrilled! He is very fine and well conformed. He looks Rose grey, but when you open up his fleece, he could be Silver. We hope to get him cria shorn soon. We will keep this boy! Check out our new cria's picture below! He is a special guy. We named him Maverick ***NEWS FLASH. Layla's 2015 light Silver Grey cria Skyline's EZ Duzzit that we sold to Heart & Soul Alpacas just went on to win Male Grey Color Champion at the 2017 CABA Classic. Congratulations! We actually recently just purchased him back! 2X Blue Ribbon-Winner, Skyline’s Layla, was just what we were looking for when we bred one of our best females, Jacqueline, to our impressive Rose Grey Herdsire, Prince Jordan. It was a perfect match! Jacqueline, a modern Rose Grey, has beautiful soft fleece that has kept its fineness over the years. She had a 22.8-micron and a 17.7-CV at three years of age. Jacqueline is a Kryptonite daughter and has Legacy, Roosevelt and Mr. Know it All in her background. Prince Jordan, Layla’s sire, was our Futurity, Blue Ribbon-Winning, Premier Absolute son that adds fiber density as well as outstanding conformation to all his offspring. With that background it was no surprise that Layla joined our show circuit in 2012 and she did not disappoint. She took a blue ribbon at her first show, Alpacapalooza, where she showed as a Modern Rose Grey. Then she took another Blue at CABA later in the spring, in an Indefinite class. Layla’s fleece is fine, soft and exhibits a high frequency crimp along the full length of her staple that divides into nice little bundles. For Layla's 1st breeding we sent her out to Ohio for a date with Jumanji, we got a gorgeous dark fawn boy out of that pairing. Then we bred her to Enlightened and got an amazing LSG boy. Both of these boys we were able to sell, no problem. Karen Ball purchased the Enlightened boy and he went on to win some impressive ribbons! For her 2017 cria we have bred her to Skyline's Lightning strike. We are hoping for an impressive grey this time too. And we got it!!!! .
