Speakers Steve Ridout Wildflower Alpacas and Quarantine Services Steve and his wife Sue have been breeding Huacaya alpacas since 1998 and established Wildflower Alpacas in 2002 in the rich farming areas of Western Victoria, Australia, famous for its fine Merino wool. Steve has been an accredited Australian alpaca judge since 2005 and at the highest level in Australia since 2011. He has judged throughout Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and has conducted many seminars across the world, assisting new breeders and associations in establishing their industries. Steve and Sue were the founders of LaViande, the first company in Australia to farm and process alpaca for meat commercially. LaViande was established as branding for alpaca meat in Australia in 2006. Steve, until recently, sat as the Chair of the Australian Alpaca Association Export and Trade Development Group. Steve’s 35 years of international logistics experience helped establish Wildflower Alpacas Export and Quarantine Services, now trading as International Alpaca Exports. They are a licensed Australian government exporter with regular alpaca shipments to New Zealand and Europe each year. They have negotiated protocols with Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and China to establish trade development for the Australian alpaca industry, including over 1,500 alpacas exported to China, with more contracts under negotiation. Beyond alpacas, Steve’s experience includes his airfreight shipping of lions, tigers, giraffe and rhinos to zoos worldwide as an accredited handler of endangered species.

Qurly Q with Defiance son
Service Sire: Principio
ARI: 32731750 DOB: 9/28/2013 Color: Light Fawn Gender: Female Status: Pregnant, with cria at side Sire: Sunny Mesa’s Ares de Archangel Dam: Derwydd Manchu’s Qispiqay Service Sire: AML El Duro’s Principio Histogram: 2016: AFD 14.9, SD 3.8, CV 25.2, %>30 0.5 Show Awards: 2nd in Halter at CABA Classic 2015 4th in Halter at Alpacapalooza 2015 4th in Halter at AOA National Show 2015 1st in Halter at AlpacaMania 2014
Qurly Q is out of Qispiqay, who is arguably our top foundation dam. Entered in only three shows, Qispiqay took three Color Championships. She is in the top 1% of EPDs in 6 traits and in three of those traits, she ranks among the top 10 females of all 35,000+ females in the EPD database! Qurly Q herself is in the top 1% of EPDs for four traits—AFD, SF, MC and %M—and she ranks in the top 2.5% for two other traits, SDAFD and %>30. Qurly Q’s sire is Ares de Archangel, a son of the renowned CCNF Archangel. This girl is hardwired for excellence! Qurly Q has very fine fiber (14.9 micron), an incredibly soft hand, brightness, density, and beautiful fleece architecture. She anchors a 3-in-1 package that includes her excellent male Defiance cria, and she is confirmed pregnant by Principio, a champion many times over and producer of champions.
Service Sire: Johnny Cash
Lot 2
Skyline’s Fantasia Snow Diamond Alpacas With a champion light-silver-grey as her sire and a champion true-black as her dam, Fantasia—who is also a champion—is a color-breeder’s dream. Her sire is Donato, an 8X champion/reserve champion and son of Adonnis. Donato has sired several champions, in addition to Fantasia. Her dam is Pizzicato, a champion and dam to four offspring, three of which are champions, including Fantasia. Joining the champion party is Fantasia’s service sire, Johnny Cash, an 8X champion son of CCNF Man in Black. We can’t guarantee a champion offspring, of course, but we would be very surprised if Fantasia didn’t produce a beautiful black champion next summer.
ARI: 32821604 DOB: 8/9/2014 Color: True Black Gender: Female Status: Confirmed pregnant Sire: Crescent Moon’s Donato Dam: Skyline’s Pizzicato Service Sire: WP Johnny Cash Histogram: 2016: AFD 21.8, SD 4.4, CV 20.2, %>30 4.5 Show Awards: 1st and RCC in Halter at Northwest Alpaca Showcase 2015 2nd Place in Halter at CABA Classic 2015

Accoyo America Estela Little Creek Farm ARI: 35024088 DOB: 2/28/2016 Color: White Gender: Female Status: Maiden Sire: Accoyo America Spartacus Dam: Accoyo America Amariah
Accoyo America Estela is a stunning result of all of the original major foundation breeding stock of the Accoyo America breeding program. Every single import male in her pedigree was the number one male chosen in its particular import year, and the import females Sicuani and Sunipani were both the number one Accoyo America pick in theirs. These original import lines were key in producing Estela’s second generation ancestors El Nino, Nautilus, Shogun, Polaris and Stefani. Estela is an upright correct female with beautiful presence and true-to-type head. She carries an elite style fleece that separates nicely into dense, tightly-crimped bundles. Fiber stats are as follow: AFD of 16.2, SD 3.3, CV 20.2%, and %>30 of 0.4%. She is sold with a breeding to any Accoyo America herdsire. I would suggest Road Warrior or Cherokee Warrior.

Snow Diamond Pace Setter Snow Diamond Alpacas ARI: 32818949 DOB: 4/7/2015 Color: Medium Brown Gender: Male Status: Unproven Sire: Crescent Moon’s Gear Jammer Dam: Crescent Moon’s Petunia Histogram: 2016: AFD 13.4, SD 3.1, CV 22.9, %>30 0.7 Show Awards: 6th in Halter at CABA Classic 2016 1st in Halter at GWAS 2016
Sire: Gear Jammer
Pace Setter is a son of Gear Jammer, who is a son of Shiftin’ Gears, and that lineage helps to explain how this handsome male got his extremely fine, highfrequency fleece. His sire and grandsire are both noted for their spectacular heavy fleece and enduring fineness, and apparently, Pace Setter got the memo.
Suggested Service Sire: MFI & LMFI Peruvian Baird
Lot 5
La Finca’s Peruvian Anica La Finca Alpacas ARI: 35287353 DOB: 8/6/2015 Color: Fawn Gender: Female Status: Maiden Sire: S&L Peruvian Bandito Dam: Agatha Christi of Peru
Typey, compact, gorgeous head, dense, bright fleece, awesome coverage, uniform high-frequency fleece. These attributes and many more describe La Finca’s Peruvian Anica. OVER HALF OF ANICA’S PEDIGREE ARE TRUE BLACK FULL PERUVIANS GOING BACK FOUR GENERATIONS!!! Anica’s sire, S&L Peruvian Bandito is a True Black multiple champion who time after time stamps offspring like her. Anica sells with a transferable breeding. I would go right back to black with our own Elite True Black MFI & LMFI Peruvian Baird, an 8X CC with banner winning offspring.
Lot 6
Pucara Tieva’s Kameli Pucara International ARI: 35032779 DOB: 8/12/2015 Color: Medium Brown Gender: Female Status: Maiden Sire: TSSS Wyuna’s Tieva Dam: Pucara Chakotah’s Manchita
Kameli is the stunning result of bringing together five Futurity Herdsires of the Year. Her phenotype is faultless. Her fleece, refined! How often do you get the infusion of superior conformation, head style, presence and fleece together in one package? The sire, Tieva who had a handy show campaign, has been a revelation for us with his production. We started him cautiously but his cria have been blessed with the fiber of the future. He is, as of 2016, very busy. The mother, Chakotah’s Manchita, is a descendant of a grand dam, Manchita, who is also the mother of National and Futurity champion Pipeline and our very special multiple times Futurity Herdsire of the Year, Chakotah of CCR Suris. If there is an indicator that we indeed value this line, the dam, Chakotah’s Manchita, is in our ET program for which only the special stud females are reserved. A complimentary breeding to any Pucara International Suri stud male is included. Purchase terms: 50% on the hammer, balance monthly payments 12 months, interest free.
Sire: TSSS Wyuna’s Tieva
Sire: Conopa’s Kahuna

Snowmass Fortune Favors Snowmass Alpacas ARI: 32605327 CIS: CIS-4591 DOB: 9/8/2012 Color: Fawn Gender: Male Status: Proven Sire: Snowmass Conopa’s Kahuna Dam: Snowmass Paca Wedding Bells
Fortune has truly favored us with this spectacular stud. His first offspring have hit the ground and they are the most consistent in type and color and fineness that we have ever witnessed so uniformly. Our fawn breeding program has become as fine as our Ultra-Royal white and our dream to put together bales of fiber nearly as fine as vicuña with longer staple with added brightness is coming to fruition. Fortune Favors’ genetics have been an instrumental part of this success. His sire, Snowmass Conopa’s Kahuna, and Grand Sire, Snowmass Conopa have themselves produced ultra royal fleece genetics and continue to produce them over the East Coast and Canada where they reside with their new owners. It is with Fortune Favors that their genetics remain with us coupled with a Dam line Snowmass Paca Wedding Bells which represents our royally line straight from Quechua and Subzero. A combination of genetics that is powerful and influential for the future in Ultra Royal Alpaca. You may ask then why are we letting him go? Well, firstly, because to have a stud represented in an auction, he has to have all the bells and whistles to back him as well as represent the best of our breeding program. That is how we build the Snowmass Reputation. Secondly, we feel it is essential that all alpaca breeders be successful with helping to produce herds of Ultra Royal alpacas to help build a National reputation of producing the finest fiber in the world alongside of growing the interest in the alpaca Industry and he is the stud that can help make this happen. We are fortunate enough to also have his offspring on the ground and more coming from him this year and or next year which makes it easier to present him for auction. Snowmass Fortune Favors is one in a million and if you have any doubts try and find a proven stud male of color that at three years old has grid histogram of 15.9 3.6 21.1 15.7 0.5 and curve of 69 representing his incredibly dense uniform, bright and consistent. ULTRA ROYAL fleece with a genetic line as his to back it up. If you are the winning bidder “Fortune will Favor” your breeding program with Ultra-Royal progeny for many years to come.

Snow Diamond Thunder Rose Snow Diamond Alpacas This lovely yearling is the daughter of two multiple champions, Sunset Hills Golden Thunder (see Lot #16) and Snow Diamond Crimson Rose, both of whom are also from champion stock. Thunder Rose’s maternal grandsire is Snowmass XXXtreme, a 2X Herdsire of the Year. Thunder Rose is well built and carries a very soft and uniform fleece.

Sire Golden Thunder is in the top 6-10% for AFD, SDAFD, SF and %>30.

The Alpaca Group is pleased to offer this lovely female for sale at the first annual Snow Diamond alpaca auction. TAG Danika is sired by the one-and-only Crescent Moons’s Aquinas (2012 and 2013 Futurity Champion). MFI Peruvian Decisions is her dam and is an outstanding producer for our breeding program. All of Decision’s cria have been extremely fine including her 2014 daughter Dreamwave whose first histogram was 13.4, 2.6, 19.5, 0.4. We think this girl will have nice numbers once her histogram is done. Danika is registered as a dark brown but she seems to be turning grey in her bib area. We showed her twice this year at Alpacapalooza and the CABA Classic and she took blue at both shows. The new owners should show her next year and then send her back for a complimentary breeding to any TAG herdsire. We would recommend Irish Meadows Carbon Copy, a son of Jacob Black who we co-own with our friends at Liberty Alpacas. Danika sells with full TAG guarantees. Sire: Aquinas

Her sire Crescendo is an Elite son and a full brother to The Elite Maximus (who is closed to outside breedings) and the late Rico Suave. All three of the brothers are known for longevity of fineness, among other exceptional traits, and all three have sired numerous champions.

Sand Creek’s Jumeirah Snow Diamond Alpacas Jumeirah is a bay black, out of a true-black dam by a beige sire. We could have paired her with any color, but we wanted to see what Defiance could do, building on Jumeirah’s background of lasting fineness and champion genetics on both sides. Turns out it was an inspired choice, as Jumeirah now has a gorgeous white daughter with ultra fineness and plenty of character. Jumeirah’s sire is Indy, a beige 4X CC/RC from Irish Meadows’ breeding program. Indy still had 20 micron fleece at six years of age. Jumeirah’s maternal grandsire is 6X Get of Sire winner Tuscan Gold, whose AFD stayed below 20 micron until he was eight years of age. Jumeirah comes with her beautiful Defiance daughter at side. We were so pleased with this girl that we bred Jumeirah to another top-tier white stud, Arctic Warrior, for another match made in heaven. This 3-in-1 package is jam-packed with winning genetics, lasting fineness and exceptional value.
