KAMIAK'S KOHANA

Kohana comes from one of the best fleece lines at Alpacas de la Patagonia and is a half-brothers to Celio. Celio is the 2013 AOBA National Champion who won 8 times RC/CC. Kohana's dam is Chiachina, a Vinvi daughter. Vinci is Patagonia's white herdsire who won blue ribbons and is out of Nishio. Nichio was the 2004 All-American Herdsire and the 2007 Reserve All-American herdsire. Kohana's sire is Lennox, an 8 time color champion who ranked in the top .5% of all animals biopsied for follicle testing by Dr. Norm Evans.

At Alpacapalooza 2011, Judge Wade Geese said, "It's impressive that at two years of age, this male carries forward this kind of finess and density." Kohana's histogram at 2 years of age shows that he had and AFG of 19.7m, and SD of 4.4m, CV of 22.3% and .30=1.3%. In 2024, Kohana is now 15 years old and still carries a fine 22.8 micron fiber.

While Kohana has mostly produced Brown crias from dams, there is a possiblity of Rose Gray from Danko, his grandsire. Although Kohana's fiber is not as fine as some others, it still makes nice yarn or whatever you choose to use it for. Kohanahas produces beautiful crias for us. One of them is Sawdust's Meranti, born May 30, 2018 and now living on the Hawaiian island of Maui!.
