Kohana comes from one of the best fleece lines at Alpacas de la Patagonia and is a half-brothers to Celio. Celio is the 2013 AOBA National Champion who won 8 times RC/CC. Kohana's dam is Chiachina, a Vinvi daughter. Vinci is Patagonia's white herdsire who won blue ribbons and is out of Nishio. Nichio was the 2004 All-American Herdsire and the 2007 Reserve All-American herdsire. Kohana's sire is Lennox, an 8 time color champion who ranked in the top .5% of all animals biopsied for follicle testing by Dr. Norm Evans. At Alpacapalooza 2011, Judge Wade Geese said, "It's impressive that at two years of age, this male carries forward this kind of finess and density." Kohana's histogram at 2 years of age shows that he had and AFG of 19.7m, and SD of 4.4m, CV of 22.3% and .30=1.3%. In 2024, Kohana is now 15 years old and still carries a fine 22.8 micron fiber. While Kohana has mostly produced Brown crias from dams, there is a possiblity of Rose Gray from Danko, his grandsire. Although Kohana's fiber is not as fine as some others, it still makes nice yarn or whatever you choose to use it for. Kohanahas produces beautiful crias for us. One of them is Sawdust's Meranti, born May 30, 2018 and now living on the Hawaiian island of Maui!.

Description

Zitan is a great addition to our ranch. He has beautiful fiber (21.8 microns count in 2020), and good solid conformation. Zitan's sire is our Kamiak's Kohana, who is a Lennox descendent. His dam is KC's Be Flirty. Zitan was a first-place winner in the walking fleece competition at the Alpacapalooza/CABA show in Portland, OR on May 12, 2018. In 2019, Zitan took 6th place in the Halter Show. We did not continue to enter him into the show ring. We have, however, sent fiber into fleece shows. At the TXOLAN Fleece Show in February 2021, Zitan placed 3rd. The judge, Amanda Vanden Bosch said there was "some variation in length, but soft to the hand and lighter in weight". Zitan has been sponsored by the US Navy Carrier Air Wing Division and is nicknamed Shogun. You will find his pictures in several areas of the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier ship. Thank you for your service to our country and your sponsorship. We do appreciate you. Zitan will be a great addition to your herd. We have not used him yet as a herdsire since we have so many males. But he does produce nice fiber that we have spun into yarn and have some fiber even included in the saddle blankets that we have made to sell in our store. Put him to work for you.
