The Best So Far!!!!!! To expand, I should say the best GET'IM Alpaca cria that was based on my breeding decisions.
Crown was being born when I was pulling out my driveway heading for work at 7:00 AM. I first saw the two white front legs and thought how can that be. There is no white in either parents history. OH WAIT!!!!! As more cria was revealed, so was more color. Initially, I classed him as a dark rose gray. As each day went by, more and more silver gray took place of the rose. His fiber was like a burber carpet due to so much crimp. He was a strong and exctemely healthy boy. I was and continue to be delighted with this alpaca.
Now Crown is in full Medium Silver Gray (MSG) fleece and is getting ready for MAPACA and PAOBA 2014. He was tipped as a cria, but still has amazing first year fiber length that is still full of crimp. His fleece has a very fine handle and is consistent from ears to tail.
Crown is great on the halter and in the chute. In preparation for the show ring, I spend a great amount of time handling this animal, so I expect him to be a gentle herdsire at GET'IM ALPACA unless someone buys him. No doubt that this cria will be of interest to many, whether as a stud or purchase.
