Unbelievably gorgeous fleece. Very gentle boy - irresistible would be the word that comes to your mind when you meet Shilo. Review the histogram to believe. Shilo has a conformationally true-to-type frame with a good substance of bone/coverage. Positive traits keep stacking up when you open the fleece: Fine, extremely dense, soft, great indicator of the overall uniformity of microns he carries in his fleece- eventually front to back! We are excited to announce that we will breed Shilo with some of our girls in spring 2024. We have high hopes as we adore As You Wish (Beige), Kaizen (Beige/LF), and Bundaberg Rum (MB) - a few of Shilo's fantastic offspring. We are confident that the resulting offspring will be exceptional and look forward to showcasing them in upcoming shows.

This gorgeous young female came to Talen Ranch in April 2024 and we are pleased to have her as a part of our program. Soleil has an incredibly abundant and beautiful fine fleece. The fleece is notable for its shine, wonderful crimp, length, very nice bundling, and impressive density. Soleil's dam, Sweet Pines Infiniti, is dense, uniform, fine fleeces. Infiniti is a daughter of Alpaca Adventure's Milano, who won Get of Sire with Infiniti in the ring - the judges were impressed! Soleil's sire, Daytona's Nocino, was awarded the Black Color Champion title in the AOA National Fleece Show, and also received an Advanced Fleece Award. Nocino has all the qualities of a champion, including density, uniformity, beautiful character, and length. He also has a strong bone structure and a well-balanced conformation, making him a handsome stud. Nocino comes from a lineage of award-winning parents, including a multi-champion sire and grandsire, which makes his bloodlines excellent. Soleil is expected to be an excellent producer and has been bred to Flare's Incan Nightfire (FIN) for a cria due in 2024. Soleil's service sire, FlN, is also a top award-winner. His modern grey color makes such wonderful yarn. Given both FIN's and Soleil's genetic background, the color outcome of this pairing is anyone's guess but could definitely include grey or black! Stay tuned!
