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!

Yes, Raylina is old but she still is a great producer! You will have free board until she weans her 2018 cria. His birth weight was 25.5# on 9/5, and as of 9/24 he already weighed 39.2. Awesome female we are only listing as we need to downsize. Raylina is a very special female that we are proud to own. Not only has she been a winner in the show ring but she is a ranch favorite with her winning way and her WINNING offspring! Raylina produces what we believe to be the "Premier Seed Stock" that we are striving for and she is a great mother. She delivered her .38 Special female cria that was an awesome classic rose gray on Easter Morning at a whopping 26#. We named her Esther Rose, and she went on to win a Color Championship! The following year, Raylina produced Romeo, and he won 2 Reserve Color Championships in two showings! He went on to sell at the Priority Action in 2015. The Next season, Raylina produced an awesome Silver Grey female, Uptown Girl, that won Reserve Color Champion at Alpacapalooza 2015 and then also sold at the Amber Autumn Auction in 2016!
