Amigo De Peru x BAL Copy Me
Congratulations to Rebecca Wood on the purchase of Sassafras_Lady.
Another genetic powerhouse, Sassy is by the ALSA Grand National Champion Amigo De Peru. Her dam is the well known BAL Copy Me from Berry Acres, by Silver Peru. Sassy has inherited the size and body capacity known in these lines. Her fiber is a lovely dark copper, and she has a lot of crimp in her fiber. Sassy is bred to the Suri ALSA Halter Champion Peruvian Kordero. This combination of genetic lines has produced many excellent offspring with suri fiber, and we are hoping for the same from Sassy.

Although Michele has her ALSA ROM and we are very proud to show her, her real fame is from her carreer as a PR and therapy llama. Michele has the most beautiful head and proud carriage, and when we visit a health care facility, you can hear the “ooh’s and aaah’s” from everyone! Michele simply loves the attention from childrem and adults, thriving on all the handling, touching, hugging, bumping of wheel chairs, and even the occasional over-zealous hair pulling. Michele is one of the few llamas to have earned her Delta Society certification as a Pet Partner. We have held off breeding her even though she is an adult, in order to use her for valuable visits at our local children’s home and Riley Hospital summer camps. She is often specifically requested to attend, and we just cannot disappoint her many fans. Showing and breeding are more fullfilling when we also share our llamas with those who really appreciate their visits. At some point we will breed Michele, and we hope she has a clone of herself that is just a versatile!
Machuco x Riley-Mystical Moonglo
DOB: xx/xx/xx
When I first saw this girl, all I could say was, “Wow.” She had high luster, true suri locked fiber. But she was a big girl, with a super beautiful “llama head” with gorgeous hooked ears. If you know her bloodlines including Machuco and Peruvian Amigo, you can imagine what she looks like; now picture that with suri fleece! She is the “type” of suri llama we want to reproduce. She is bred to Peruvian Kordero, Suri ALSA Halter Champion, and we are hoping to combine the best of both these lines!

Although so many of our llamas hold special places in our hearts, Pinata is my personal, all time favorite. She was the perfect show llama, not only knowing exaclty what to do, but also knowing when she had won! She earned her ALSA ROM, a Championship, 7th at Grand Nationals and 7th at the Celebrity World Futurity. We had a fun career in the show ring, where Pinata became more of a partner than “just” a show llama. Pinata’s mother is continuing to produce show-quality cria, and we are anxious to have Pinata’s first cria, hopefully to follow in her footsteps!
Taj Mahal of Tunitas Creek x Shangri-Llama’s Grace
DOB: xx/xx/xx
We purchased Gracie in Reno almost a decade ago, and she has been integral to our herd ever since. If the industry recognized what suri fiber was back then, her price would have been beyond our reach. She has been an excellent mother, producing a half a dozen crias for us so far, including the incredible YW Kona Lady, who we retained in our progam. What a surprise to have Kona and Gracie, both shiny, black llamas, give us beautiful appaloosa babies last spring! Gracie’s babies have had her solid, heavy bone, and all her babies have her silky, shiny fiber, some of which have been nearly suri. We will try to encourage that suri content with a breeding to Adonis. Her babies include YW Scirocco, YW Kona Lady, and YW Sand Pebble Cruz.
