Sire:

WI The Admiral

Dam:

Marquis' Lilac Rose

| AOA# 3508510 | Light Silver Grey

The lovely Lilac Rose - The prior owner of her dam had wanted to name her Grace when she was born, but we already had that name in our herd. So we went with a visual description of her fleece, the color hues of nearly pink purple tips - you had to see in person. Her mother "Mary" is a real doll and this girl was born curious and sweet as can be. We can hardly stand it she is so cute and personable!

Motherhood has just seemed to make Lilac even sweeter. She was one of the rare moms that licked her baby from head to toe upon delivery - a matter of fact she licked a few of us months following lol. Witnessing her birth was one of those extremely special moments. Besides textbook delivery, within minutes of her being born, Lilac was licking her baby and baby was kissing back and flipping up her tail. Their video got a lot of shares. Matter of fact I uploaded it on youtube so it can be viewed here.

At shows, California classic Lilac took a 2nd place in halter as the youngest in the class and a 1st place in walking fleece! Then at the Great Western Alpaca Show she took a 2nd place in halter and walking fleece in a tough competition.

Her fleece exhibits wonderful luster as affirmed by multiple judges. Fleece was noted as well under 18 micron, super fine with extremely fine secondary fibers coming in noted. From two different fleece judges very similar scores of uniformity of length 7/10 uniformity of micron 4/5 absence of guard hair 7/10 lock structure 5/5 uniformity of color a 17/20 in fineness/handle and luster. We are happy she wow'd the fleece judges and we can't tell you how much we value their expertise. She recently took a 2nd place in a spin-off. Now that I see how fine it is, it still held an alarming amount of hay so we could do better next time. We added purple bamboo to her fleece for yarn - turned out beautiful!

Her sire, Greystone's Marquis certainly gets an atta boy here. His genetics blend two big grey lines together.

Lilac delivered a real beauty by WI the Admiral. We were just hoping to add some density in fleece and were willing to gamble on color. Pleasantly surprised with an intriguing rose grey swirl with silver and yes added density! We really hoped for a repeat but Admiral is now residing in Oklahoma. Bred her to our Champion Kiss of the King and she delivered a fawn guy with white points.

We bred her to the dense, fine-fleeced Gracie's slick to the max. Hoping for a cria next summer.

Suri, Herdsire (Male), Proven, White

ARI# 36016761 | DOB: 8/29/2019

This guy has a pedigree of the old well-knowns, including Bracito, Torbio, Macqyver... His name came by thinking of rock & roller Grace Slick. Slick has proven to be the perfect name time and time again.

He was born sturdy, strong and packing the fleece! We had not seen or felt so many skin wrinkles on a newborn body and neck. They almost flapped over on the sides. Beautiful luster & fineness like no other we had seen. We mean fine!

We were disappointed that he did not get a chance...

Description

We bred one of our favorite females, the lovely "Lilac Rose"- a beautiful, light silver grey, with an endearing personality, to WI the Admiral, who we feel was a stellar stud that resided at Windy Hill at the time. He is not only one of the densest alpaca we have seen but has beautiful super shiny locks and a face that is too darn cute. All of that and some amazing genetics behind him. Given he is a Goldstar son we can not tell you how excited we were to land this color of a female by him. When Lilac gave birth to Lanai she started licking her all over, it was such a special birth to witness.

2020 an odd year to say the last, so we kind of went with a name imagining ourselves having a nice "wine on the lanai" overlooking the ocean and alpacas peacefully grazing. She will likely lose her wine color fleece at shearing and be mostly silver grey which is more than ok by us.

We feel fortunate to have been able to send her off to some shows for 2021 and she received four, 1st place ribbons. She had comments from the judge how she had more density than anticipated and very respectable luster!

She gave birth to a girl by the guy we just can't get enough of, GLR Armani. This female looks bay black but may possibly end up in that modern grey. Will see what time tells. Nice density and lock and a beautiful true to type suri head.

Lanai made a great first-time mom while maintaining her own ideal weight etc. We bred her to Gracie's Slick to the Max in August and will see if that pairing took.
