This is the DREAM cross. Smart, beautiful, mellow, easy to work with and good conformation with a strong rear end. A super short classic coat to boot! Don't take our word for it, talk to the happy owners of her siblings.
This beautiful female is the 8th of our tried and true JNK x JNK bred parents. She is so sweet and mellow. As a bonus, she is a complete outcross from most of what is available for packing stock.
The sire is our ILR SD/UAP Halter Champion classic pack male, JNK Cayetano. Cayetano has completed several legs of his PLTA advanced packers certifications and is a complex registered therapy llama with Pet Partners. He has also won over 30 grand champions in halter in real shows. Cay is a double Halter Best of Show winner as well! At the 2022 March Madness Show that is the largest in the country, he not only won the Rookie class but was double Grand Champion Classic/Light Wool Male. Cay is an amazing packer and therapy llama too! We use him to volunteer in end stage hospice therapy work. Most recently, he has started to drive as well!
Cayetano is by a PLTA Master Packer (MPL Sky Rocket) and out of one of our very best producing classic females (Rocky Mountain Sunshine). Grandma produced many of our keeper herd animals and was a show and regional champion winner in halter. Her sire (great grandsire to this baby) was the great, Rocky Mountain Jester who was a packer, driver and all around llama. Great grandma, Bett's Supaya lived to be 24 and was upright and still going strong until the end.
Kalosi is a keeper in our herd and by our supreme producing pack male, MPL Anders Tobias. Toby had the strongest rear end we have ever seen on a pack llama. He also has the best work ethic and stamina of any llama we have seen besides Isle Eagle (our foundation woolly herdsire). In addition to being an ALSA Halter Champion, he was a PLTA Master Packer. Toby lived to be a healthy 25 years old and was sound until the day he died, even siring a baby at age 24! Kalosi is an absolute sweetheart and loves a good hug and butt scratch from you! She also loves water and dances in the hose when offered the opportunity. We showed Kalosi a few times and she did really well winning Halter Grands and Bred and Owned. Kalosi has easy births and loads of milk.
Arriving with a birth weight at 35.3 lbs, this female was up and nursing immediately. The first week after her birth, she gained a pound a day! Her 2016 full brother was 38lbs at birth and is now in Colorado packing. The 2017 full brother is part of the Redwood Llamas breeding/packing program in Colorado. The 2019 female from this cross is in Washington and is being used for packing, showing and therapy work. She is already almost a finished halter champion! The 2020 sibling is in Colorado and will be packing when of age. The 2021 sibling will be packing, showing and doing therapy work. The 2022 sibling is being used in a day hike program and will be overnight packing when he is old enough.
This young female is from some of the longtime packing greats that are from long established breeding programs. The owners of her previous siblings absolutely love this cross. They are all easy going, correct, steady on the trail and therapy llama sweet. Several are already complex registered therapy llamas like their dad. Many are winning in halter and performance too! This is a really good cross for the ultimate pack/therapy/show llama. They literally come out of the womb loving water too!
Name Origin- Kiska Volcano (Qisxan Kamgii in Aleut) is an active stratovolcano, 5.3 by 4.0 mi (8.5 by 6.4 km) in diameter at its base and 4,006 feet (1,221 m) high, located on the northern end of Kiska Island. On January 24, 1962, an explosive eruption occurred, accompanied by lava extrusion and the construction of a cinder cone about 98 feet (30 m) high at Sirius Point on the north flank of Kiska Volcano, 1.9 miles (3.1 km) from the summit of the main cone (Anchorage Daily News, January 30, 1962). A second eruption that produced a lava flow was reported to have occurred on March 18, 1964 (Bulletin of Volcanic Eruptions, 1964).

JNK Valparaiso's Vittoria (F)
ILR#Pending
Chilean Valparaiso RDRL x JNK Normandie's Gevalia
DOB 5/30/24
***Pending***
This promising young female is from some of the very best lines in the industry. She is beautiful and has buttery soft fiber. Her pedigree has no linebreeding too. The dam of her is owned by Terry & Sandra Spekreijse of NZ.
The sire to this female is Chilean Valparaiso RDRL who hails from the Rain Dance Ranch Llamas herd. Grandsire Chilean Blazing Saddles RDRL is an ILR Halter Champion. His sire is Fino Chilean Rosario who is a two time ALSA National Halter Champion and ALSA/ILR Halter Champion. The dam to Valparaiso is by Chilean Obsedian RDRL who is an ALSA/ILR Halter Champion. Grandsire to Val is the famous Chileno El Toro. El Toro is not only an ALSA National Halter Champion, but an ALSA Halter an Get of Sire Champion. There are a lot of other Chilean greats in his pedigree and one of Niki's all time favorite females Chilean Okidoki.
JNK Normandie's Gevalia is an ILR SD/UAP Halter Champion with lots of performance experience. We pulled her out in 2019 and showed her at our regional show where, she took double grand champion and Western Championship Show Champion Light/Medium Wool Female. Gevalia has also been a Complex registered therapy llama in the past and for several years, Gevalia was a youth 4H project. They did well in performance and skills classes as a team. Because of this, we waited to breed her until she was older. This is Gevalia's fourth offspring.
Grandsire is our many times Halter Champion (ILR/ALSA) and Best of Show Halter Winner Marisco. Marisco was a full Peruvian son of two time ALSA National Halter Champion *Sipan. In addition to being correct, Marisco was a Complex registered therapy llama from 2006-2022! In 2018, Marisco won Double Best of Show and Regional High Point at age 17! He won again in 2018 with two Double Grands in Moderate Heavy Wool and was Western Championship Show Champion Moderate Heavy Wool Male at age 18.
Grand dam is our former top producing woolly female we bought from the famed Bauernheim Llamas herd, Bros Normandie. Normandie produced many champions in halter and performance. She also produced three therapy llamas. Normandie kids have consistently cleaned up in the showring and been stellar producers! Normandie was a many times Production Pair and Produce of Dam winner! Recently, Normandie became one of only a handful of females to be an ILR Dam of Distinction. Normandie's grand offspring are winning in performance, halter and fleece. They are also registered therapy llamas too!
The oldest half sister JNK Huaycool's Ferrara (Huaycool x JNK Normandie's Gevalia) is an ILR UAP/SD finished Halter Champion and 3x Halter Best of Show winner. She is also a winner in performance.
The half sister to this female is JNK Rosario's Raffinata who is a finished ILR Halter Champion! She is also a halter and fleece Best of Show winner.
The third offspring from Gevalia JNK Rosario's Sion is in Maui.
There are so many halter, performance and fleece winners in this pedigree. Additionally, dam and sire are/have been complex registered therapy llamas with Pet Partners. Many siblings are doing great things too. This baby has so much potential given her pedigree and consistency of these lines.
Our sweet Clara that comes over and works with the llamas has won the name game this round.
Meaning of the name: Vittoria Aleotti, also known as Rafaella Aleotti, was an Italian nun and composer alive in the late 1500s and early 1600s well known for the time she spent at the musical San Vito convent.

ILR# Pending
JNK Sulu's Huxley MT. x JNK Tobias's Toviah
DOB 7/9/24
***For Sale to the Right Home***
Toviah's third baby and Huxley's 6th. One of the few JNK x JNK breeding crosses as well. We owned all the grandparents in this pairing and showed 3/4 of them. This young female is special and completely unreleated to most of the overused packing lines.
Her sire Huxley is a mellow classic male that is Pet Partners complex registered for therapy work with two handlers. Huxley's pedigree is llama royalty in the packing world and his dam came from the famed commercial packing operation Redwood Llamas in Colorado. His maternal grandsire is Clancy who won nearly every professional running event with llamas. To the point that it was written up in Sports Illustrated. Additionally, his maternal great grandsire is the famous Oliver Twists.
JNK Tobias's Toviah is one of our keeper classic Toby daughters and the dam of Sparkle. We picked a good one to keep as Toviah has won nearly every halter class she has been entered in. Toviah is a finished ILR Halter Championship. Toviah ended 2019 as Best in Show Female for the OFFF & Western Championship Show. She also was OFFF & WCS Best in Show Fleece On. Would you believe that Toviah has won Best of Show Fleece twice? An unheard of feat for a classic llama.
CTL Sulu was one of the kindest and calmest llamas you could ever meet. As the grandsire of this young female, she should have his steady and sweet attitude. Sulu was a very reliable commercial packer in Wyoming prior to coming to our farm. The size, bone and substance of Sulu was a nice addition to our current packing stock.
Grandsire Anders Tobias was the first of our classic breeding program. We acquired Toby as a finished packer that had already achieved Master Packer status with PLTA. Toby was also used for hunting and extensive pack trips. There is no other llama with the work ethic, stamina, athleticism and structure in the packing world. We walked Toby into the showring for the first time at age 12. That day he walked out with two Grand Champions and this was in the day when the classes had much woollier animals mixed with classics. Over the years we continued to show Toby and earned many grands in halter and performance with him and eventually he got his ALSA Halter Championship. He was the ONLY classic male that is an ALSA Halter Champion and PLTA Master Packer. At age 25.5, Toby was still active, sound and breeding till the day he died! A testament to his genetics and overall strength. We have retained three of his daughters for use in our program. Many offspring are registered therapy llamas with Pet Partners and even grand offspring are now registered as well. Two offspring are driving in cart and there are many many packers sired by Toby.
Grandmother Rocky Mountain Inca's Legacy Lady was the 2007 ALSA National Reserve Grand Champion Light Wool Female. Her half brother by the same dam was also National Reserve that year. Legacy was an ALSA Halter Champion and an ILR finished Halter Champion. This female was a very nice representation of a classic pack llama. We cherry picked her out of a herd of 140 llamas!
The 2021 full sister (JNK Huxley's Zaltana) to this pairing won five Grand Champions in halter at her first shows! Since then she has been winning in GA for her new owners and they love her. Zaltana is a finished ALSA Halter Champion.
Name Origin: Any outdoor enthusiast knows about the outdoor equipment company Cotopaxi. It seemed fitting to name a pack llama after an outdoor equipment company that uses a llama for their logo!

A beautiful and short coated classic male from elite all around packers, drivers, show and classic llamas!
This young male's dam Razz, is a 3rd generation packer line female. Our friends Mark and Lori were no longer breeding and at almost age 14 they sold her to us. We were all unsure what that would look like breeding a 14 year old maiden. To our delight she settled within the month and into her new life here at JNK. Everyone that comes to our farm comments on how beautiful Razz is and we agree. As a bonus, she was loved and handled making her so nice to deal with. Razz has packed, ties out and is easy to deal with. She comes from a long line of proven packers, drivers and all around nice classic llamas. We dragged Razz out to her first show at age 15.5 and she pulled a grand in classic female class with a full division!
Cayetano is by a PLTA Master Packer (MPL Sky Rocket) and out of one of our very best producing classic females (Rocky Mountain Sunshine). Grandma produced many of our keeper herd animals and was a show and regional champion winner in halter. Her sire (great grandsire to this baby) was the great, Rocky Mountain Jester who was a packer, driver and all around llama. Great grandma, Bett's Supaya lived to be 24 and was upright and still going strong until the end. Supaya hailed from some of the Redwood Llamas original pack lines. Cayetano is a finished ILR Halter Champion with many grands to his name! He is also a proven and amazing pack llama that does therapy work in end stage hospice. Now, he is driving as well.
Grandsire Robbie D was on our list of lines we wanted to add. He resided in the Lolo Creek herd pack program in Montana and was a proven packer. Some of his offspring reside in other pack programs around the country. Grand dam Boogie Woogie was a proven packer and driver as well. Great grand dam was a packer and driver as well. The great grandsire to this baby was Jim Logan's driving/halter/performance llama Apollo One. One of the original ALSA Champions. Suffice to say, the dam side of this male is a long line of proven working llamas!
This is a genetic powerhouse for anyone who does cool things with llamas. His 2022 big sister Vezzie is turning out to be a very cool and beautiful girl too! Vezzie won a reserve grand in halter and placed well in novice performance at her first show. The 2023 full sister has already won in halter and shows the same calm and reliable personality of her big sister Vezzie. Everyone that meets these two girls, loves them.
