Tangerine   

Dark Fawn, 30921337, 5/8 Chilean, 3/8 Peruvian

Tangerine is an easy-going dam with a beautiful fleece--shiny, bright fiber, uniform crimp and impressive staple length.

This spring Tangerine produced her first cria, a light fawn female out of our Don Reinaldo son Gerardo. Clemintine closely resembles her dam and has inherited the same playful personality.

This young male is a walking Kodak moment - with every stance he strikes an amazing pose. Milo has incredible presence and shows off a glorious fleece with lots of crimpy, crimpy bundles and an extremely soft handle. We're told his cria blanket alone was over 6 pounds. Just look at the leg coverage he boasts in his "rear
