Cecelia, like all of her other siblings out of our Leona, has grown up strong and quick. We think it is genetic. We place a lot of value on animals that mature quickly because there is such a long generation gap in alpacas.

Leona, Cecelia’s dam, milks like a cow and is the one that is first out of the barn and last back in at night. We have never been able to keep a Leona baby on our farm, someone always buys them.

Cecelia is registered as a medium brown, but as she has age, it seems like she is darkening up and now would be considered a fading bay black; if there is such a thing. She actually fades to a white under belly, almost like a vicuña pattern. What makes this so interesting to us is that Cecelia’s dam, Leona, is a blue eyed white and cecelia’s grandsire is genetically a rose grey (even though he is registered as brown). So now you add in that Cecelia’s full Peruvian black sire, Noche Negro, has given her a recessive black color gene. Knowing all of this, we plan to breed this girl back to our other black full Peruvian stud, Midnight Man, knowing that there is a 50% chance of having a black and there is a possibly that the cria may even be grey. Midnight Man won Reserve Champion at the 2005 AOBA National Fleece Show, so whatever the offspring’s color is going to be, it will probably be quite nice.

Cecelia sells with a live birth and reproductive guarantee as well as a breeding to Midnight Man.
