Man in the Moon's Lila

It’s Sissy’s 2024 cria that makes me not want to sell her, plus she's such a sweet girl. Sissy delivered a gorgeous beige female cria, Lila, on 6/28/24 out of Alpaca Palace Legend’s Rising Sun. Lila's fleece is looking amazing! We’ve decided to keep Lila in our foundation herd, but Sissy is for sale and she can be bred back to Sunny as part of the deal. We simply must reduce our herd size due to loss of farm help and a sudden medical situation. Lila's sire, “Sunny”, has the softest fleece I may have ever sunk my hands into — the soft staples break into little match stick bundles with beautiful crimp from skin to tip. Sunny's fleece is amazing at almost 6 years old! His 2023 histogram puts his fleece stats at 18.5 micron with only 0.4 % over 30 microns and an SD of 3.8! Check him out on his webpage through the link above...he's producing excellent progeny! Of only a few offspring (6 so far), one just garnered his second Championship as a 2-year old at the 2024 CAC Show - Alpaca Palace Superman, and Alpaca Palace Girlfriend have also taken top honors. "Sissy" is an Alpaca Palace Houdini granddaughter from her dam's side that also carries deep Snowmass genetics on the sire side. Her 2023 histogram, at almost 4 year’s old and following two full pregnancies, are still excellent, and her EPD’s are also. Sissy is also a very sweet alpaca -- certainly very easy to handle. Sissy's dam, Alpaca Palace Houdini's Sumthn Else, was one of Alpaca Palace's most treasured dams, with extreme uniformity and fineness. At 5 years old, her fleece stats rivaled many crias at AFD: 18.6, SD: 3.8, CV: 20.5, %>30u: 0.9, and at almost 9 years old, it's only 1.5 micron higher! Her granddaughter, Lila, will hopefully carry her legacy forward. Sissy's sire, Snowmass Divine Heart, is an unbelievable male straight out of Divine Inspiration and the Snowmass Lilly lines! Snowmass Quechua out of Accoyo Elite anchors Inspirations sire side, while the Snowmass Snowbells line anchors the dams side of Inspiration. Snowmass Lillystar has 4P Legacy and Don Julio in her pedigree. Divine Heart earned 14 blues and 7 Championships for his resume and his show career was stellar. His density is phenomenal at 76 which put him in the top 3% of males at the time of his skin biopsy!
