Angel is a good example of the expression "Don't judge a book by it's cover". She is not a show animal. However, she does possess quality fleece characteristics and more importantly, she is a great production female. All of her crias have shown a dramatic phenotypic improvement over Angel. What that tells us is that she has retained some of the genetic potential inherited from her grandsire Hemingway and greatgrandsire Don Julio.

We all suffered with Angel this spring in the loss of our first cria. Angel did her job and carried it full term, but it did not survive. A necropsy came back inconclusive. The cria would have been Angel's 4th, all girls. We have sent her back to Oregon to rebreed to Caligula son, Accoyo America Zion. That combination has produced two knock-out females in Alexis and Amethyst for Pat and Ted Martin at Heritage Alpacas, LLC.

We will be happy when Angel returns to our farm and reassumes her Herdmom position. A terrific mother for her own crias, she is also very protective of all the crias. If the other moms go off to eat and the crias stay behind to play, Angel keeps watch.
