Sire: Snowmass Enlightened ARI#
31795739 Medium Rose Grey 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!
Dam: Skyline's Mahogany Mist ARI#
31612470 Dark Brown Yes, Mahogany Mist is older but she still is a great producer! Purchase her open for $700.00 or we can bred her for a total price of $1,700. Her 2018 cria's birth weight was 20.0# Not bad!
Mahogany Mist is one of our best production females. She has produced multiple blue ribbon winners and has a sweet personality as well. No surprise here as she was one of the last offspring of A of O Silver-Celebration before his untimely death. One of her offspring, Amora was Grey color Champion at the 2016 Alpacapalooza show and went on to sell at the Snow Diamond auction to Majestic Meadows in 2016.
Description
Skyline’s Lemon Tart is a Beautiful Med. Fawn, Enlightened daughter, out of Skyline’s Mahogany Mist, one of our best producers! Lemmon Tart is the full sister to the 2016 Alpacapalooza Grey Color Champion, Skyline's Amora, who Sold at the Snow Diamond auction to Majestic Meadows. We love Lemon Tart but we have to reduce the number of females we have on our farm and we have her ½ sister Lemon Kiss. Lemon Tart’s fleece is bright, dense and crimpy, just look at the scan of her fleece! This year her total fleece weight was 9.74! and her blanket was 5.94! She has incredible staple length, a trait she got from her sire Snowmass Enlightened. Again, we hate to part with Lemon Tart, but we need to downsize. I’m sure you will be trilled with her purchase.
