This gorgeous young female came to Talen Ranch in April 2024 and we are pleased to have her as a part of our program. Soleil has an incredibly abundant and beautiful fine fleece. The fleece is notable for its shine, wonderful crimp, length, very nice bundling, and impressive density.
Soleil's dam, Sweet Pines Infiniti, is dense, uniform, fine fleeces. Infiniti is a daughter of Alpaca Adventure's Milano, who won Get of Sire with Infiniti in the ring - the judges were impressed!
Soleil's sire, Daytona's Nocino, was awarded the Black Color Champion title in the AOA National Fleece Show, and also received an Advanced Fleece Award. Nocino has all the qualities of a champion, including density, uniformity, beautiful character, and length. He also has a strong bone structure and a well-balanced conformation, making him a handsome stud. Nocino comes from a lineage of award-winning parents, including a multi-champion sire and grandsire, which makes his bloodlines excellent.
Soleil is expected to be an excellent producer and has been bred to Flare's Incan Nightfire (FIN) for a cria due in 2024.
Soleil's service sire, FlN, is also a top award-winner. His modern grey color makes such wonderful yarn. Given both FIN's and Soleil's genetic background, the color outcome of this pairing is anyone's guess but could definitely include grey or black!
Stay tuned!
