We have many outstanding tuxedo grey herdsires on our farm, but this one, who arrived spring 2017, has just rocketed himself to the top of the list. This is the one who was "meant to be."
I fell in love with Tabokia in early 2016, when I saw him, along with his 1/2 brother Al, on the website of Dancing Elk Alpacas while on a quest to add a son of Neversummer's US Steel -- hands-down one of the very best sons of .38 Special -- to our breeding program. Both had fiber stats that were absolutel... |

We had been looking for a couple years for a male with qualities to bump up our herd. While we have been focusing on light fawn, when this beige guy presented himself we just had the feeling we might not get an opportunity like this again. Armani is actually the offspring of two darker fawn parents. We bought this young male before even seeing him in person and before he entered the ring and won a first place at Futurity.
Ironically we already have an alpaca named Armani - our original Ar... |

What do you get when you do a repeat breed of a black dam to a medium silver guy when they had a medium silver cria together the year prior? You get a surprising reminder that grey is unpredictable as the least likely suspected color pops out! As I watched the delivery, I thought wow an all white head, white feet, likely be a tux but as she came out solid white from head to toe - well almost, she has grey skin at feet, dark eyes and eyelids with liner.
We thought about naming her sterling or grey gardenia just in case she changed from white to grey. One of my mom's favorite flowers were gardenias and she was allergic to silver so had jewelry made of white gold, hence White Gold Gardenia.
Her grey sire is a 3/4 brother to Royal Steel and his biopsy revealed him to be one of the most uniform Ian Watt has tested in any color! Seriously read the write up on Estates Platinum Tabokia on the Howling Hill Farm site. Her grandsire Snowmass Nova Galaxy was a real stunner too. Besides awesome genetics, we think she has got an enormous dose of the cute factor. She caught the eye of different people for photography and even inspired a couple different paintings by artists early in life.
She has delivered very bright, true black (Blackest of black colors) two times in a row with different colored males one grey and one dark fawn. Last years cria had rather wild white face markings from the beautiful grey 4-Sight's Crawford. He was a real head turner!
She has given birth to her best yet. This guy is the first from the amazing Majestic's Armani and he is looking like one worth keeping. Price includes current cria by her side.
