On Saturday Jim found this little beauty on his way to the barn. She is the third true black SCA Peruvian Magnum daughter we have had born here on the farm. When Magnum adds his phenomenal fleece to this color – look out!
Bella (the alpaca momma) produces wonderful black or grey cria for us every year. She’s a super mom plus her fleece has the finest handle next to Magnum on the farm, even though she’s over ten years old!
We’ve decided to name her “India.” Jim thinks she’s a keeper. For years he bred some of the best black alpacas in the country so he should know.
The majority of our herd at Fairhope Alpacas is white and fawn so seeing the black baby in the field is a happy addition. The more I build the fiber side of our business the more I realize we need some more black alpacas. People love black alpaca!
Can you tell how shiny she is? We will definitely repeat this breeding!
If you like this little girl, you might also want to see her true black half sister, Black Pearl in the Fall 2011 cria class.
Wow! She is a beauty…her color is so deep! On a side note, Katy, check your e-mail for a message I sent last week
Oh wow, I’ve never seen black Alpaca before. They are beautiful.
She is beyond precious… very very sweet. I would love to be able to hug her!
Congrats! So it’s not true that Alpacas delivery mostly in the daytime?
These are so cute and charming Alpacas. The mom Alpaca is looking very responsible to her kids and the kid Alpacas are want to stay with their mom. You shared so beautiful photographs. Thanks a lot.
Alpacas are not visible in everywhere in this world. These are visible in Peru. So, these photographs are very knowledgeable about Alpacas for outsiders of Peru. Thanks for these great photographs.
Yes, alpacas do mostly deliver during the day. Sometimes they have them in the early morning or in the evening but over 95% on our farm have come between 6am and 6pm.
India is so cute!
