Daytona's 2018 cria (all daughters!) have proven just how capable Daytona is at producing black with such a variety of dam colors. We are thrilled with this year's cria. Just like those of 2017, his cria are dense, silky, crimpy, extremely well put together conformationally, and have such lovely presence.

In 2016, Daytona produced 5 black, 1 dark grey, and 1 brown cria. Dams ranged in color from black to beige, but most were fawn and brown. Daytona exceeded our expectations.

Histograms are showing that Daytona offspring are following in his footsteps - first year results as fine as 15, but averaging 17.5 microns. Excellent uniformity and comfort factor as well.

Daytona offspring available for sale now:
1 dark exotic grey maiden (bred) female - AHarmony's Mandala
1 beautiful brown extremely fine maiden female - Sweet Pines' Manzanita
2 black yearling males - Sweet Pines' Manzo, & AHarmony's Minke
1 very sweet brown yearling female - Sweet Pines' Noble

This year's cria are about to be weaned and will be for sale as well - all females ranging from deep brown to black to grey.

The incredibly handsome Crescent Moon's Daytona joined our herd in north central Idaho in 2015. His fiber stats prove that he is holding his uniformity, fineness, and density with a fleece weight of close to 5 lbs for his blanket, and 10 lbs overall. He also exhibits wonderful brightness as commented on by the judges. It is inspiring to see these characteristics in true black along with undeniably outstanding conformation.

Daytona has acquired an impressive show record: 1st at The Futurity, Color Champion at GWAS, and much more. Daytona excels in many aspects, but what jumps out is his uniformity. When you look at his fleece, you notice (besides his impressive density, brightness, and fineness) that something is missing - guard hair. Daytona's fleece is like glass - absolutely uniform well across the blanket in color (no spots!), silky fineness, crimp, length, density, and lack of guard hair...all the way down the belly! You can see that uniformity in his histograms too with low standard deviation and %>30, even on his adult fleeces. Put that on top of a well-balanced frame and 'look-at-me' presence, and oh boy.

Daytona is a product of 3 esteemed breeding programs coming together - Flying Dutchman Alpacas on his sire's side (sire: Skywalker by Poseidon of FDA), Fir Cove Alpacas on his dam's (dam: Fir Cove Bonita), and Crescent Moon bringing it all together with their stamp of approval. Take a look at the plethora of Accoyo bloodlines - PCA Accoyo El Nino, Caligula's Accoyo Poseidon - and well-known color producers such as PPeruvian Victor.
