Gateway's Toyobi

Toyobi is a proven dam with a pedigree that goes a long ways in explaining her
fleece and production record.

toyobi091806Name: Gateway's Toyobi

ARI#: 834063

DOB: July 9, 2001

Color: Light Fawn/Beige

Sire: Vido de Peru

Dam: Uber's China Moon

There are those that claim that the classic vicuna color pattern that Toyobi displays is a sign of superior fleece traits.  We will let you be the judge of that claim.

Toyobi has been a consistent producer of quality offspring - so much so that we have had a hard time keeping any of her cria for our own breeding program!  Her grand-sire, Peruvian Cocoa Moon, was quite celebrated in his time, and we think that Toyobi stands as a testament of why.

Value: $20,000

 
Alpaca Sales

"He wore a big cluster diamond pin, a sort of hen-and-chickens of his own, secured by a minute guard-chain on a ruffled shirt-front of snowiest linen, where clung dry crumbs of the "fine-cut" which puffed the lower side pockets of his gray alpaca sack coat. His gold-headed cane was almost a bludgeon..."
