SWEET PINES ALPACAS

Tasha Yar   

Medium Fawn, 807035, 1/4 Chilean, 3/4 Peruvian

A daughter of El Moustachio and granddaughter of Peruvian Don Julio, this vicuna patterned dam is the grand dam of our herd. She continues to maintain a fine fleece (20.7 microns at 10 years!) even while nursing fast growing healthy crias. Her offspring are high quality ribbon winners that exhibit their dam's same character and soft handle throughout the years. Tasha is a phenomenal mother.

Tasha's offspring include:
Makella (2003) - multiple first place ribbons, reserve champion, excellent producer
El Campeon (2004) - first and second place ribbons, successful herdsire
Sequoia (2005) - color champion, producer of grey offspring
Ciera (2006) - multiple ribbons, also a producer of grey offspring
Bugatti (2007) - first place ribbons and color champion
Astro (2008) - 16.9 microns! - extreme fineness and a very handsome boy
2009 - shew...a year off
Rodeo (2010) - studly conformation, ultrafine rich solid brown fleece
2011 - another year to rest
