May/June 2011 update - Cleo's fleece won a blue ribbon at the AOBA National Show, and then went on to win a blue at Estes Park! Cleo is the oustanding result of a repeat breeding, and we may just have to try it again. Her dam, Fabulicious, has produced nothing but excellence. All of Cleo's maternal siblings are show winners with beautiful fleece, great conformation and outstanding presence. Her sire is Altair's Vito, a multiple champion who consistently passes on his amazing fleece character, fineness, density, extreme coverage, as well as that 'Wow!' factor that turns heads wherever he goes. Cleo's full sister, Sienna, is a beautiful blue ribbon winner as well, so the quality is very consistent here. Cleopatra has always had admirers, from ranch visitors commenting on her beautiful, deep, rich coloring as a cria, to people stopping us at shows to ask if she's for sale. Even Jude Anderson, after judging her in the ring at GWAS 2010, commented that this one got her attention the moment she walked in the ring. Cleo gave birth to her first cria August 2, 2011, a 20.8 lb baby girl, sired by Snowmass Enlightenment. Holy moly! This cria is so beautiful it's hard to look away. She's got super curly baby crimp all over. I mean everywhere, all over her blanket, down her belly, her legs, her tail, all over her neck, even her chin. And she's dense with even coloring and incredibly bright fleece. She's a light fawn and her name is Isis. Cleo is a wonderful mom. She had plenty of milk for her cria from day one, and she is calm and attentive to her baby.

SIRE Altair's Vito

Color: Dark Fawn   ARI# 851895    CLAA#

Vito has a fine bright fleece, butter soft with crimp from his nose to his toes. He has magnificent coverage and a density that is really remarkable. He has stunning conformation and a gorgeous, typey head. He also is a gentle soul with a sweet disposition. Vito uniformly throws his density and well organized lock structure. We have a rainbow of colors in Vito offspring - he tends to throw the dam's color although not in every case and he throws that teddy bear head about 50% of the time. All of the offspring I have seen have his very correct conformation and "nose to toes" fleece coverage and...well...we just have an awful lot of satisfied customers. Show Record Information Vito had a very successful show career. He never placed lower than third in any halter class he entered and never lower than second in the two national fleece shows he entered. His most recent fleece (shorn at 66 months!) was awarded Color Champion at the prestigious Great Western Alpaca Show in Denver (May, 2010) The judge commented on how well he is holding his micron and well structured and consistent his fleece is. Show information is also available through the AOBA web site.

DAM Fabulicious

Color: Dark Fawn   ARI# 1388060    CLAA#

With her beautiful vicuna coloring and her outstanding presence, Fabby always gets noticed in a crowd. She has a super fine, and very dense fleece with a high frequency crimp and a really nice handle and brightness. She's also got great conformation including a perfect bite, which she passes on to her offspring. Fabby has a great reproductive history of easy, unassisted births. Actually that may be a bit of an understatement. Several of us have tried, but so far no person has actually witnessed her giving birth. She tends to wait until you go inside for a snack, and before you know it there's a baby standing and trying to nurse. She's had plenty of milk for her crias, which are strong and tend to gain weight from day one. Each of her offspring is a different color, but she has passed on her excellent fleece characteristics, great conformation and outstanding presence to every one. All of her crias have done very well in the show ring. So far three of the four that are of showing age are multiple blue ribbon winners and one is a champion. Fabby gave birth July 4, 2011 to her fifth cria. It was another unassisted and unwitnessed birth resulting in a really amazing looking light fawn male, sired by Misty Ridge's Silver Quest. This cria is really outstanding. He was 21.9 lbs at birth, strong and very handsome from day one. His fleece is very dense with nice character and incredible brightness. It's really hard to take your eyes off him, and when you feel his fleece, it's hard to take your hands off him. Fabby produces a winner every time.

Service Sire RR Guns' Kit Carson
