“Pippin” ARI# 843366
DOB: October 17, 2002
Sire: Elitus
Dam: Calypso Girl
Fee: $1,000
When I look at this beige boy - he takes my breath away. He has matured into a very stunning male with great compact bone structure and wonderful fiber characteristics. He is the son of Accoyo Elitus and a black and white Chilean dam, Calypso Girl. Great head, crimpy dense fiber and a gentle personality.
“Sun Gate’s Yucay” ARI# 1276275
DOB: October 14, 2004
Sire: Pueblo
Dam: Little Molly
Fee: $1,000
This boy amazes us. His sire was white and his dam is a medium brown girl and he came to us (our first born) black and white. The true black came from his mother’s sire. Yucay has a soft, very dense blanket and a calm, gentle personality with great conformation. We named this boy after a town we visited in Peru. We are anxious to see what he can settle. Yucay is currently being offered for sale.
“Sun Gate’s Bandido” ARI # 30381834
DOB: June 2, 2005
Sire: Patagonia’s Aysen
Dam: Amy’s Florence (Flossie)
Fee: $1,000
This medium brown boy has wonderfully fine and crimpy fiber. He comes from a gray lineage – his grandfather is Danko, one of the most well known grays in the alpaca industry. Bandido will be ready to begin his breeding career by the end of 2007. He certainly has the potential to produce some grays. Bandido is currently being offered for sale.
