Kohana's sire is Lennox, an 8-time color champion, ranking in the top .5% of all animals biopsied for follicle testing by Dr. Evans Past show comments include:judge Wade Gease, Alpacapalooza 2011. : "It's impressive that at nearly two years of age this male carries forward this kind of fineness and density." We have had mostly brown crias from Kohana and dams. But Rose Gray is a possibility from Danko (Grandsire). While his fiber is not as fine as some of our others it still makes nice yarn, or whatever you choose to use it for. Kohana is almost 12 years old but last year he is still at 22.8 microns. Talk about fineness. and we love the color. Kohana keeps producing beautiful crias for us. Meet Sawdust's Meranti. Born 5/30/18, she weighed 18.2 lbs and is a live wire.
