Afrodita is our herd matriarch. Purchased from Snowmass Alpacas, she is said by Julie Skinner to have the strongest vicuna phenotype of any alpaca they have ever had on their ranch. Even with advanced age, Afrodita's fleece remains dense and very fine.

Truly our "Old Faithful" and now over 14 years old, Afrodita keeps plugging away like a female half her age! Always birthing and conceiving effortlessly, Afrodita is trouble-free and a great mom. Her offspring have always been very healthy.

Easy to handle, she "melts" after being held for just a few seconds, and even picks up her feet for toenail trims.

Following the birth of her latest cria, a daughter born June 2006, she conceived on one breeding at 19 days postpartum, despite milking so heavily that her cria was gaining almost a pound a day!
