Tiger Lily Conopa’s Smoak will bring another great layer of quality in our herd with his incredible fleece and genetics! Smoak did extremely well in the showings, winning 9 Championship and 1x Supreme Champion title. Several times, he showed with his wins that his quality surpasses the lighter alpacas’ (with the Supreme and Age Championship), that means a lot for a brown! His fiber’s stats showed that he has a very fine fleece with an AFD of 14.7 microns at his 1st histogram and 16.3 microns at his 2nd. Barely no guard hair on his chest, and none on his blanket. His fleece has a very high frequency crimp, merino like, with extreme density. Fleece pictures don't do him justice! He is an outstanding male, with a conformation that stands out of the group, beautiful fleece coverage from head to toes and proportions. He is bringing along his elite North American genetics that will complement our herd greatly. His sire is the legendary Snowmass Conopa XXX. His dam is equally great: Tiger Lily Samatha Ice is a 2x Supreme Champion female that produces Supreme Champions! Smoak is just one of them. Her progeny is also producing multi-Champions, one of them being 9x Supreme Champion Tiger Lily Shaka’s Pillar. She’s out of an Eclipse Alyst daughter and Bolivian Ice Man, a male that made a spectacular impact on the Western Canada industry! We were left with only 1 cria sired by Smoak from 2021, and all we can say is WOW! That single cria is outstanding and rocking in the shows, winning the 1st place ribbons and 2 Reserve Championship. A-H scored 84/100 in fleece show: 24.5 for fineness and handle, 9 for uniformity of micron, 8.5 for brightness, 8.5 for character and 9 for absence of guard hair. If you’re looking to improve all these traits named above, you must consider Smoak for breedings! Bonus: he’s a female producer! Colour genotype: EE Aa2 - Smoak will never produce whites/lights.

After producing 9 crias (7 of which are females), we have decided to retire Ariva from our breeding program to make room for our next generation of females. Ariva is a very robust female, never had issues with her health or behavior. I could say the same for her offspring. In her current condition, I believe she could still produce a few crias for a new owner. She might be coming from “old” lines, but this girl has been such a reliable producer! Her 2023 cria, Noble Altitude du DNA, is winning many championships in shows, and her daughters/granddaughters play a valuable role in our breeding program. Ariva is sired by MMR Marcoyo, a multi-champion that sired many champions (including Futurity & National champion). He was ahead of his time! Her dam descends from Peruvian Hemingway. Although our herd size is back to what we once maintained, the new responsibilities of running our manufacturing facility require us to downsize a bit... We are therefore motivated to sell some animals and will consider respectable offers on selected individuals; Ariva is one of them.
