Mosette’s Titan

ILR # 188295

Date of Birth 11/22/1997

Titan is very dark (almost black) brown with a black face; his extraordinary fiber lies in ringlets.  He is very large with great presence and exceptional conformation.  Titan is so impressive that he is almost always the first llama noticed when guests arrive at Elevenses and he is the most requested herdsire for outside breedings.  While we are convinced that Titan would do well in the show ring, we have not shown him.  We believe that he would not enjoy the show atmosphere and prefers to spend time at home with his girls.

Titan is out of LLL Chantuse Mosette, one of many daughters of the great Moses (Feni Moses Othello).  Titan’s sire is E.R. Hercules, by the famous Bolivian import, Oko Castizo.    Names so familiar to the llama industry, such as Frederico, Lady MacBeth, Errol Flynn, and Oak Hill Clyde, are included in Titan’s pedigree.  Titan’s cria share his extraordinary conformation, stunning fiber and look-at-me presence.

WRLF Epic’s Encore

ILR # 25839

Date of Birth 12/2/2003

We purchased Encore as a yearling and hope to put him to work during the 2005-2006 breeding season.  He is most impressive with his abundant true-black wool, full white tuxedo, and white stockings.  He has been shown just once, but took a first place in Yearling Heavy Wool Male and followed it with Reserve Grand Champion Heavy Wool Male at the 2005 Albemarle County Fair Llama Show.  The judge said Encore easily won his very strong class and has great ring presence.  Encore is also one of the sweetest llamas you will ever have the opportunity to meet.  We can hardly wait to see what he will produce for us!

Encore is out of Note Bene, whose maternal grandfather is the famous La Raya Peru.  Encore’s sire is BAL Epic, who has one of the most impressive show records I have ever seen (three Grand Champions and two Reserve Grand Champions).  Epic is out of Midnight Maid (whose sire is the late and great The Fiduciary) and by Garbo’s Count Zorach, whose sire is the legendary Franklin.  With a pedigree like that, we expect great things out of Encore!

Checkmate McGrath (“Checkers”)

ILR# 133004

Date of Birth 10/20/1994

We are so thrilled to have Checkers on our farm!  He came from the McGrath’s at Lower Sherwood farm.  Checkers is heavy wooled with brilliant white, fine (20.6 micron) fiber.  He has beautiful brown markings on his face and a long brown tail. If you think that is a smile on Checkers’ face, you are right.  Checkers is always happy!  He loves his girls, his babies, and his people (that’s us!).  He especially loves guests.  Visitors are immediately welcomed by one of Checkers’ patented kisses and then he delights in showing them around Elevenses!  Talk about a greeter!  Checkers only came to us in March of 2006, but he has been busy.  He has already bred five girls and we can hardly wait to see that delightful personality in his babies.

Checkers’ father is the famous LW Sunnybrook, making him the fraternal brother of Lower Sherwood’s premier herdsire, The Spindoctor.  LW Sunnybrook is full Bolivian and Checkers inherited that gorgeous Bolivian head.  His mother was Walden’s Serenity, who has Errol Flynn and Great Gildersleeve in her pedigree.
