We bought this girl (she is "Amy" to us) for several reasons, not the least of which was the gorgeous sample of fleece we got from her previous owners; it displayed a lovely crimp, fine handle and unbelievable staple length. She is registered as a light fawn, but the bulk of her blanket fleece is really a light rose grey.
And beyond looking at the fiber, her pedigree was certainly nothing to sneeze at with the Chaccu grandsire and Bueno great grandsire. We had none of the Chaccu line on our farm and loved Amy's density. At the time we acquired her, she was bred to Onyx' Grey Navigator; take a look at the copy-cat daughter she produced from that breeding...simply beautiful! Amy took to mothering like a duck to water...she births easily, (which is amazing since she produces very large crias for her size,) has a great milk supply and wonderful protective instincts.
Amy is one of those very smart alpacas...sometimes we're sure she knows exactly what we are thinking.
