GENOTYPE:
eeaa | Non-Grey

Well this is probably one of the cutest cria we have ever produced! This little gem of a female is absolutely stunning and we could tell from the moment she was born that she had that "je ne sais quoi"! No surprises here as her pedigree is packed with multi-champions in both solid colours as well as in roan and classic grey.

This female is the result of powerhouse genetics, combining some of the most prominent greys in North America. Her multi-champion MRG sire, Plum Creek's Taji, is one of only 2 registered classic grey son sired by Bellarmine (ATV Adonnis)…the other one being Crescent Moon’s Emmaus! Her paternal grand-dam, Estates Yanni combines NS Magic Flight (Snowmass Enlightenment) lineage with some exquisite solid-coloured subjects from the Patagonia program. Her maternal side includes Amber Autumn's Natiqua who has produced many champions as well as Arriba Adonis, who has also produced many champions in every colour and who has, himself, won Judge's Choice, 3 Spinner's Choice Awards and several Grey Championships including the AOA 2015 National Fleece Show.

On top of her very appealing headstyle, Fly High packs an amazing amount of fibre on her well-balanced, compact frame. She has above average density and a high frequency crimp style to her very fine and uniform fleece. This certainly creates a beautiful handle and a great degree of bightness which can be seen in picture. Although her genotype came back as non-grey, we will certainly include this female in our grey breeding program as her genotype can certainly be put to good use to produce black or even classic grey offspring!

Although we were hoping for a darker colour outcome, Fly High will be part of our 2025 show crew. Even though light coloured alpacas are not our speciality, we are confident that this little one will be able to compete with the best ones out there!

UPDATE: Fly High is now 2x Colour Champion and 1x Reserve Champion after her first show season! To say we are delighted with these results is a huge understatement! We knew she was a special little female but her first show season has definitely exceeded all expectations! This little one certainly has a bright future ahead of her...

SOLD: Congratulations to Ariya Alpacas for their purchase of Sutton's Fly High! We cannot wait to see what she does in show as a yearling and the offspring she will produce in the Ariya program as we know she will be in good hands and bred to her full potential!
