BIG NEWS: 2nd Place Fleece at 2009 AOBA World Fleece Show! Scored 20 out of 20 on fineness and handle. Judged by Cameron Holt. Wow! We had a hunch we might get a gray cria from this pairing, and we were not disappointed. Blue Gate Mixtli already has an amazing rose gray fleece with character and crimp rarely seen in a cria of any color. His fleece looks like a dark rosy cloud so we selected a name that was the perfect match - his name Mixtli is Aztec for dark cloud. Mixtli carries some great color genetics from sire and dam. His sire is our own elite Peruvian stud Snowmass Red Hot Cognac. Cognac carries the bloodlines of some of the finest black alpacas imported into the U.S. from Peru - 5Peruvian Ajoyani and 6Peruvian Silent Night. Cognac has sire several gorgeous dark colored cria. His dam is our Luna Pearl, the first cria born on our farm, and although she is white she carries some great gray color genes from her sire and grand-sire. We thought that pairing Cognac with Luna had the potential to produce a gray and we hit it right on the money. Mixtli is a proud, straight, and gorgeous cria. He demands your attention when you step into the pasture. After shearing his cria fleece we have been very impressed with the consistency of crimp and character in this amazing rose gray fleece. If you are looking for elite fleece in gray with amazing and rare bloodlines this may be the boy for you. Buy him before we change our minds.
