Caley’s Rising Sun
A new herdsire with an extraordinary fleece — and we couldn’t be more excited about his future at Tiger Lily.
We purchased Caley’s Rising Sun in April 2026, and boy, are we glad we did!
Rising Sun is no stranger to winning in the show ring. He has been shown extensively in both Canada and the USA, earning impressive honours including Judge’s Choice at both PAOBA and AOA, along with other top show awards. His pedigree is equally exciting, being sired by Caley’s Spit Fire and out of Sunnyhill’s KP’s Zoey.
But for us, what truly sets Rising Sun apart is his fleece.
In 30 years of raising alpacas, I have never seen this kind of consistency and density throughout an entire fleece. His fleece is incredibly uniform from top to bottom, with the kind of density that you can actually feel in your hands. And then there is the quantity — Rising Sun produced a whopping 15 pounds of fleece at shearing!
That combination of density, consistency, brightness and volume is exactly what we are looking for in a herdsire.
Rising Sun currently has just one cria on the ground, and while that cria is not ours, we have had the opportunity to see photos — and we are very impressed with what we see. It has certainly given us even more reason to be excited about what this male may produce.
Our own first Rising Sun crias will arrive in 2027, and we simply cannot wait to see what he brings to our females.
After 30 years in the alpaca industry, I have learned to recognize something special when I see it. Caley’s Rising Sun is something special. We are incredibly proud to own this male and are thrilled to have him as part of the Tiger Lily Alpaca Ranch breeding program.
