Silver Mist

Goliath’s Mercedes

It won’t be easy to talk us out of this girl. Every time we saw her at a show we begged Leslie Loveless of Sierra Bonita Alpacas to sell her to us. Finally, she gave in and said yes.

Mercedes’ jet black, spotless fleece and perfect conformation won her top ribbons every time she walked into the show ring.

Mercedes is bred to Crescent Moon’s Titan, the AOBA Black Color Champion 2004, for a Fall 2006 cria. We couldn’t think of any better genetics to put together for what promises to be a spectacular cria.

Queen Alli Sheeba

We just love looking at this female. She stands so beautifully and is so correct it is easy to pick her out in a crowd of other black alpacas.

She has lovely black fleece with toe to nose coverage, great legs and even bite.

Bred to La Buena Vida's Secret, who shears nearly 10 lbs of award winning fleece annually, you can not loose with this Queen in your deck of cards.

Annuity

The attitude and grace are what it takes to win in the show ring and boy does this girl have that!

Annuity is the true black daughter of La Buena Vida's Silhouette and La Buena Vida's Secret.

Her snooty attitude may come from her mom but her lovely fleece is definitely influenced by her dad.

We love her, but will the judges? We'll be showing this girl for the first time at the NM State Fair, Sept. 2007. If you're there, come take a closer look at Annuity and friends.

Annuity is an open maiden but comes with a free breeding to any of La Buena Vida's herdsires.

Bouquet of Grey

Bouquet of Grey will take your breath away! She is the whole package, a bright blue/grey spotless blanket, fine and dense fiber on great conformation.

This baby took 4th place at the 2007 AOBA National Show before her first shearing.

We expect great things from her in 2008.

Her father, Crescent Moon's Titan was the 2004 AOBA Black Color Champion and her mom, Esperanza has tons of grey in her background.

We hope Bouquet of Grey continues her winning ways.

Bouquet of Grey is an open maiden but comes with a free breeding to any of La Buena Vida's herdsires.

Chinook

Chinook makes me wish I had a reason to keep a white girl in my breeding program. She is "bright white" with a beautiful head and nice staple length.

Chinook's first histogram showed AFD 18.9, SD 4.9, CV 25.9, >30 2.9%.

Her dam Shavano, even at age 8, has a histogram showing MFD 23.5, SD 4.6, CV 19.2, >30 6.0 and it has a very nice handle. Shavano is a good mother and a dependable producer. Her last cria is an award winning TB male.

Chinook has been exposed to Pinnacle & El Maestro for a Spring 2008 cria. Regardless of the Sire, Chinook's first cria is sure to be fantastic.

Lone Star Kahlua

Kahlua has it all. True Black, very fine fleece with coverage we all breed for. She brings the genetics of Peruvian Drambuie, NWA Maxwell and Peruvian Hemingway all together in one package.

Her first cria, La Buena Vida's Monolith is a MSG male sired by Equinox Eternix. We are very excited to get this boy in the show ring and see if the Judges think he is as good as we do.

Kahlua is now bred to La Buena Vida's Sterling Perfection, our spotless MSG male out of El Maestro. Sterling is the award winning grandson of General Schwarzkopf and as many breeders know, this is an extremely rare and valued bloodline.

La Buena Vida's Sweet Desire

Here is another black daughter out of our Sandman, first born son of Dom Lucilio. Her mother is a true black with very soft, very bright fiber, two qualities she has passed on to Sweet Desire, who's fleece took a 2nd place in the 2007 AOBA Fleece Show.

Sweet Desire has been exposed to Pinnacle/El Maestro for a May 2008 cria.

Kenosha

Kenosha is a very nice Dark Rose Grey. Her Sire is LSG and her dam is a MSG. Kenosha is an easy birther and an attentive mom.

Kenosha's first cria, Penny's from Heaven is MB and has a very feminine face with good coverage.

Kenosha is now bred to La Buena Vida's Sweet Success, our ½ Peruvian LRG herdsire, who's age 4 histogram is MFD - 16.7, SD - 3.2, CV - 18.7, <30 - 0.5.

Kenosha's price has increased as she nears her September 2007 due date. She will be removed from our Price List six weeks prior to her due date.

Lots of grey in this pedigree!

La Buena Vida's Silhouette

Silhouette has the stature, attitude and color of her magnificent sire, our award winning El Maestro, whose fleece received a Second Place at the 2005 AOBA Fleece Show. Her mother, QAI Faith, won second place at AOBA 2002 National Show in the Produce of Dam class.

This girl has very fine bay black fiber with good coverage and excellent conformation. She Placed 4th in her class at AOBA 2003.

Silhouette has given us 2 magnificent males, Friendship and Satisfaction Guarenteed. We liked Satisfaction so much we did it again. Silhouette is been bred to Secret, who shears 10 lbs of Award winning fiber, for a Spring 2007 cria.

This Medium Fawn male should be a perfect compliment to this General Schwarzkopf granddaughter.

Platinum's Shavano

At age 8, Shavano's histogram is MFD 23.5, SD 4.6, CV 19.2, >30 6.0 and has a very nice handle. Shavano is a good mother and a dependable producer.

When we bought her she had a beautiful bright white female cria (Chinook) at her side. Shavano has good bone and great fiber and I liked the male she was bred to, A.L. Paca's Ranger, an award winning MRG herdsire. That union gave us Relentless, a gorgeous true black male who's already winning ribbons for us.

She is now bred to El Maestro for density, crimp and color. El Maestro has already produced blue ribbon winning crias in colors from grey to black to brown.

Penny's From Heaven

Visitors always fall for Penny. She is a very feminine alpaca with a cute face and gentle manner.

Her mother, Kenosha is a rose grey and her maternal grandmother is a medium silver grey.

Penny's sire is Lil' Jimmy Dickens, a ¾ Peruvian, light rose grey herdsire.

If your looking for quality for your breeding program this girl has it all.

Penny is an open maiden but comes with a free breeding to any of La Buena Vida's herdsires.

La Buena Vida's Bessame

At the age of six months and 1 day, Bessame placed 3rd in a class of 17 at the AOBA 2002 National Show. We are pleased to say she placed 2nd in her class at the 2003 National Conference and her fabulous fiber took a 1st Place ribbon at the 2005 AOBA Fleece Show.

Bessame (Kiss Me in Spanish) is named for a whisp of white on her chin and lips. She inherited from her mother strong black genes, large bones & straight conformation. From her Sire, Dom Lucilio, she received dense, crimpy fleece and she sheared 13 pounds of fleece in 2004. Add to this her sweet talkative nature and you have a near perfect alpaca. We consider Bessame one of our top females. She is bred to Crescent Moon's Titan true black 2004 AOBA Color Champion, and we can hardly wait to see the results.

Midnight Embrace

Black is the color of my true love's hair!

Midnight Embrace took a Blue Ribbon and Reserve Color Champion her very first time in the show ring in SWRAS 2007.

Her father, Crescent Moon's Titan was the 2004 AOBA Black Color Champion and her mom, Mercedes is an award winning true black out of PCA Accoyo Goliath.

We hope Embrace continues her winning ways.

Midnight Embrace is an open maiden but comes with a free breeding to any of La Buena Vida's herdsires.

La Buena Vida's Afternoon Delight

This is a nearly flawless female and Don Julio Sumar, the Senior Judge at the AOBA National Conference in 2002 thought so as well, placing her 2nd in a class of 13. A full sister to our magnificent herdsire El Maestro and the daughter of General Schwartskopf and QAI Rosa Amante, this girl struts with the pride of her lineage.

Delight's fleece was awarded a 3rd place at the 2005 F2F Spin Off and she received a 1st Place Blue Ribbon at the 2005 AOBA Fleece Show.

Afternoon Delight was bred to Titan, 2004 AOBA National Black Color Champion. Take one of the best gray females in the country and breed her to Titan and you get an "almost" priceless pregnant female.

So, if grey is your groove and you want to see how good it feels to own one of the best grey females in the country, then this girl is for you.

Windborne's Medallion

We love grey and there is a lot to love about this grey. She has gorgeous uniform silver grey fleece that took 2nd Place at the Alaska Wool Show. Medallion is a very sweet, approachable girl from a long line of true blacks, greys and rose greys.

She was bred to our wonderful herdsire El Maestro, son of General Schwarzkopf, for a Feb 2005 cria. He and Medallion produced Sterling Perfection.

Medallion is now bred to Snowmass Royal Flush, a DRG male, for a December 2008 cria. Go to our web site for more information on Royal Flush and pictures of his offspring and you will see why we can hardly wait for her next cria.

If you love grey & black the way we do you're going to want this outstanding girl and her future Royal Flush cria.

La Buena Vida's The Last Rose

The Last Rose is special to us.

Her mom was one of our original three animals and she gave us many award winning offspring such as El Maestro, La Buena Vida's Afternoon Delight, Sparkle Plenty, Sweet Success, Star of Wonder and now The Last Rose, an outstanding rose grey. Her sire, Peruvian Olympus has too many award winning cria to list here.

Her first show resulted is a Blue Ribbon and Reserve Color Championship and her second show, 2007 AOBA National Show resulted in a 5th place ribbon.

The Last Rose is an open maiden but comes with a free breeding to any of La Buena Vida's herdsires. She will begin her breeding career in the Fall of 2007.

Sweet Mesquite

Named for her incredible father MFI Black Mesquite, AOBA Color Champion, we bought her mom MFI Lenurra at the 2005 auction at Magical Farms. Lenurra went on to win a Blue Ribbon and Reserve Color Champion at their Futurity.

We thought so much of Sweet Mesquite that we took her mom to breed to Eternal Flame, son of MFI Black Mesquite, who's fine, bright, crimpy fleece knocked my socks off.

Sweet Mesquite is an open maiden but comes with a free breeding to any of La Buena Vida's herdsires.

From the moment someone buys an alpaca from us our goal becomes making them comfortable, informed and successful in the alpaca business. We are a small ranch and sell less than a dozen animals each year, so our focus has to be on doing the best that we can for our clients. Let us do our best for you!
