Sijama Siamo (Sijma Zumiez x Jades Gypsie)

Dam:

E.L. Golden Aspen (Rocky Mountain dubloon x Cheyenne Fashion Flair)

The best word to describe this young lady is stretch ….she has the long neck, legs and the right length of body to go with it. She has that natural “always on” presents going on. I am very excited the way this girl has developed and I don’t thing she is done growing. She is also a very easy going laid back girl, which is a very nice trait to have in the larger type of llama. This girl will be one that I will be hanging onto for awhile; I just can imagine what her crias will look like. The female is a product of Janice Lasee's breeding program....and Jan likes the look of tall, elegant and stretchy females.

Opportunity's Monark (Selby's Tony x Selby's Karla)

Dam:

RAR Mistiago (Santiago Amigo x Lacamas Magnolia)

Monique is a very big girl that carries herself very well. She has the bone and substance desired in a producing female. This very gentle easy going girl came from Nancy Frank’s Opportunity Llama herd. When Nancy chose this one to sell she picked out a gem of a girl. I am not sure if you would call her an appy or paint, she has big and small orange spots covering her white body. Whatever her markings, she stands out in the herd with all her color. I enjoy having her around not only because of her size and presence but for the easygoing personality she has. She is very pleasant not only with humans but with other llamas. Monique had a E.L. Red Alert cria in the spring of 2005. This cria turned out to be a very colorful and flashy boy with a super personality named D3E Jefferson. Monique is now bred to FVL Limelight for a early fall baby.

Picazo (Whist x Picardia)

Dam:

Ruby Too (Carlo x HM Ruby Tuesday)

I am very lucky to have this young lady in my herd. Justin Timm purchased this fine lady from the Richard Patterson herd in a special package of 10 llamas. Justin decided to put a very nice female in the Hartman sale a couple years ago. That is how I was able to become the proud owner of this very exquisite llama. Ruby is all white with a reddish patch on each side her face, hence the name Ruby Cheeks. She has a knock out appearance especially her face and ears. She has that little bit of a flash that catches your eye as you are glancing over the herd of females in the pasture. Rudy's first cria was a male out of E.L. Red Alert born on the forth of July. His name is D3E Red Firecracker. He is one very attractive llama in all aspects. The presence he was born with came from both his mother and father. He was born with very silky fiber that has excellent drape and luster. Firecracker has done very well is the show ring over that last few years. This mating was such a good match that I decided to breed Ruby back to E.L. Red Alert for a second chance at this combination of excellent genes. Ruby had another boy which I name D3E Sturgis and he turned out to be just as good as his brother if not better. I had a good time showing him in 2006 and will be showing him again this year. Ruby is now bred to my Argentine cross male, Stobie's Atrax who has super heavy wool that is very fine to the point of being silky, like most Argentines he has the substance, bone and great personality. Ruby is due with what should be a very promising showstopper this summer.

GVL EL Cordobes De Chile (Cima Bandado x GVL Rosaleeya)

Dam:

GVL Abyssinia (RAR Chilean Black Bartholomew x Shushilla)

I purchased this beautiful black and gray appy/paint at a small exotic animal sale in Iowa when she was very young. I usually don’t like to purchase very young llamas, but I could tell she was really going to be something to look at when she got older. She turned out to be a beautiful addition to my herd of female llamas. She comes from a strong line of appy marked llamas with wild markings on her paternal side. She comes not only with great substance and conformation but the bonus of great color. Tiara did very well in the show ring as a yearling and a two-year-old. This girl is an easy keeper in that she is very easy to work with. Not only does she have beauty but she come with a great personality. The very colorful fiber that she adorns herself with is very fine and silky with high luster. She is currently bred t E.L. Red Alert for an early summer baby. I am predicting that there will be some interesting colors coming out of this combination which will all be a bonus to what the conformation, size, substance and presence will be. Watch for some dynamite offspring from this female in the years to come.

Kashmere From Bolivia (Import)

Dam:

Skansen's Ulla (New Dimension x Saknsen's Yksi Kaksi)

This girl is the first llama that everyone notices right away and ask "where did she come from". I purchased her from the Skansens at Hartman’s Futurity. When she came up on stage I think my eyes must have popped out of my head, I thought she really was something. Trogen has the natural appearance that makes her stand out in any group of llamas. Her fiber is very fine and drapes over her entire body. The coverage is the best I have seen on any female llama. She is black with a white face and the markings on her face give her a very striking appearance. The conformation on this animal is superb and her movement is so smooth her fiber appears to be floating through the air. She has produced some very attractive offspring from what I can see in the photos. Trogen had a very nice wild color type male out of E.L.Red Alert for me. There was no lack of conformation, presence and wool coverage on D3E Hedgestone Oaks. Not a big surprise since both parents excel in these characteristics. Trogen is very close to the top of the list of my keepers. Watch for her crias in the show ring.

Lion of Bolivia (Import)

Dam:

LL Char (Conception x LL Mellissa)

This very large and elegant girl was purchased at Celebrity in 2002. She was there as a consignment of Pat and Dennis Abreu from Spring Creek Ranch, Mt. Shasta California. When she was walked out onto the stage she looked so regale and majestic. Haute’ Soufflé’ is a daughter of the “Lion” the well known herdsire that is an import from Bolivia. He is known for the producing offspring with excellent wool coverage with a very fine micro count. Haute’ Soufflé’ Dam and Sire are producers of many ALSA grand champions. They have produced the winningest female llama ever in North America and that was Haute’ Soufflé’ full sister SCR Maybelline. Haute’ Soufflé’ is nearly a clone of her sister and has won a number of grand champions herself. She awed the judges when she walked into the show ring. She is a deep red mahogany color and with the dark accents gives her a very rich color. Haute’ Soufflé is very personable and likes to be hugged and petted. She has presence plus and carriers herself very well. She is bred to E.L. Red Alert for a June cria. This should be one awesome baby with size, conformation and presence. Keep your eyes open for this cria in the show ring.

Dam:

Easter Morn (HL Latigo x Sweet Echo)

Timber Bear was entered in the 2002 Celebrity by Jay and Gay Byers. This was the sale that featured the Feather & Friends Farm Silk & Suri Sale and the buzz was all about those animals. Timber Bear was a sleeper in that crowd. There was definitely a lot more llama they’re than what she was given credit for. Timber Bear turned out to be very profitable female in the show ring and in production. I am very grateful that the Byers brought her to the sale because she turned out to be one of my top females. She is good size and has very good conformation. She also has fiber that is very fine and drapes from her solid frame. She has the fringes that make her very attractive in the pasture and the show ring. This last spring she gave birth to an E.L. Red Alert baby that is turning out to be an excellent animal with the best characteristics of both parents. This young female, Candy Bear is going to be one to contend with this next show season. Just like her mother she is a big sweet teddy bear. Timber Bear is bred to Stobie’s Equity for a June baby in 2005. Her first cria turned out to be great in size this one should be even bigger since Equity is a giant himself.

Bauernheim's Firedancer (Tomollas Jubiloso x Bauernheim's Nina)

Dam:

Hollybrook Halimah (Hollybrook jethro x Hollybrook Miss Echo)

Hannah stands about a foot taller than most the llamas in the pasture. I recently purchased this girl from Susan at the Grand Harvest Llama Company and I am excited to get her into my breeding program. I am very fond of her presence, size the majestic look she has going.  I like the length of her neck and legs and I hope to see that in her crias. She was exposed to WLK Moonwalker late this fall and with fingers crossed I am hoping to see an awesome baby when the leaves start to fall.

Sire:

Stobie's Equity (Toconao De Temuco x Bolivian Blush)

Dam:

Ice Foe (Bohrts Ice x Souffle)

This maiden female has impeccable conformation and a perfect top line. She has good size and dense bone. I am looking forward to getting some very nice babies out of this young girl. She inherited some of the silver color from her sire Equity. The first time I saw the Pine Bluff’s herd I picked their female, Ice Floe as being one of their nicest females in the herd. I like what I saw in their Herdsire Equity and I liked Ice Floe so it’s not awonder that I liked what I saw in the white and silver cria they produced. After purchasing Ida Mae Foehn from Pine Bluff’s ranch I became interested in Equity as a herdsire not only did he have the size I like, he was producing offspring that were turning out to be very appealing. The more I looked at Ida Mae the more interested I became in Equity as a herdsire. Spectrum Ranch in Monico Wisconsin and I went in together and purchased this outstanding male llama. Ida Mae will be bred to E.L. Red Alert this spring for a 2006 cria.

Bardo's Omar Khayyam (Peruvian Bardo B1047 x Peruvian BomBon R111)

Dam:

LRL Keno (LrL Two Socks x LRL Cookies 'n Cream)

Kelli is the very first llama that I purchased. I actually bought three llamas the day I purchased Kelli, but she was the first one I bid on so technically she is my first. She certainly turned out to be the best of the three. She was the beginning of a big change in my life. I divide my life into life before Kelli and life after Kelli, I think that was sometime in September of 2000. It didn’t take long to expand my herd of three to a herd of 40+ llamas. Nothing has been the same ever since. Kelli is a very affectionate lady and is easy to work with a characteristic she passes on to her offspring. She is very nice butterscotch color that is very attractive. This producer has had two very nice female crias for me and is carrying another baby. Both her babies have excellent conformation and coverage. Last year Glow Angel (cria in the picture) was part of my show string and this year her 2004 cria, Acorn Promise is going to be part of the show string. Kelli is bred to Avalancher for a baby in June of 2005. Watch the web site for pictures of what should be a very nice cria with silky fiber. Kelli is establishing herself as a foundation female in the herd with the good conformation and presence that she passes on to her offspring.

Peruvian Regalo B1053 (Import)

Dam:

Snooty's Coco Chanel (Silver Streak RO08 x Marilyn Monroe)

Anne is a very tall and stretchy blonde girl. She has very good conformation and a great top line. She has the elegant look and has the presence to go with it. She has medium wool length and is very dense. She is very quiet and is hardly noticed as she glides around the pasture. She is very easy going around the other llamas. Anne had her first cria this past year. He turned out to have a lot of color from his father, Red Alert. He was named Red Jester because of red color and playful personality. Anne is a very good producer in that she has plenty milk and is a very good mother to her baby. Anne is currently bred to Avalancher for a summer baby.
