Ranger Dusty x Rocky Mountain Greymist
Pure poetry in motion in her youth, Tokatee matured at 44.5" and tended to run right around 300 pounds in her prime. Tokatee made it VERY clear from the get-go that SHE chose Gwen.
We were both taken with Tokatee's elegance from the beginning; she matured to be an excellent working adult llama and supermom who also happened to be beautiful ... until a Vitamin D deficiency caused issues that started the process of decline and eventually the damage that kept her from rising and led to her euthanasia.
Tokatee showed excellent traits from both parents — exceptional build and gaits for harness work and packing, and a super-combing sparse classic coat to boot. Just like her dad, Ranger Dusty, she placed at the bottom end of halter classes in the showring. Based on long experience having our duds-at-real-work getting the most purple ribbons in "halter" class, we knew Tokatee’s bottom placings were actually a high compliment to her working physique.
Tokatee liked being scratched and rubbed. At age 14 (!) she finally decided that grain, pellets and llama cookies were both edible AND desireable treats. Tokatee enjoyed the company of her daughter Arikaree and half-sisters Cricket and Ceilidh.
"Tokatee" is Chinook for pretty, beautiful, or graceful, and indeed, she is exceptionally so! For instance, few llamas can make loading into a van look as smooth and gliding as Tokatee does.
