Daytona in 2016
We are sad to announce that Daytona passed away this past winter (2023) of unknown causes. His information will continue to be displayed for reference. Daytona's cria have proven just how capable Daytona is at producing black with such a variety of dam colors. We are thrilled with his offspring. They 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.

Details
Seqouia is a gem. With grandsires Black Magic and El Moustachio (greatgrandsire ROYAL FAWN), along with rich color genetics (true black, brown, dark rose grey), and her own phenomenal fleece (21 microns & 3.9SD at 4 yrs old!). In 2008, Sequoia gave birth to Aspen, a dark silver grey lovely girl with extremely soft fleece and straight conformation. She was then bred to multi-champion Spanish Peaks Banderas and produced Torreya, a wonderful modern rose grey female with great bone structure, long, dense, & silky soft fleece, and a sweet, friendly personality. We couldn't have asked for anything more! In 2010, Sequoia had another gorgeous, strong and healthy girl out of herdsire Snowmass Truly Invincible. Sequoia's 2011 cria out of Spanish Peaks Banderas is also a vigorous fawn girl (that's 100% girls in case you were counting) with wonderful dense and crimpy fleece character and predictably Sequoia's extremely soft handle. She's a beauty.

Sequoia is now retired and is being offered here as a fiber pet. She would also be an excellent guardian as she is the first to approach and alarm call at strange dogs, showing no tolerance. She is also a larger alpaca. Best of all, she is still producing a yarn-worthy fleece with Grade 2 fineness (microns in the low 20s).

Discounts available for the purchase of 2 or more alpacas. Sequoia is halter and trailer trained.
