Foundation Herd

Debutante was part of our initial herd purchase, and is arguably our most prized animal. She is a beautiful maroon color with vicuña markings and a white face. Though not as gregarious as many of our other alpacas, she has a sweet personality, and is an excellent mother with lots of milk. Her first cria, Copper Debut, is already a multiple blue ribbon winner. His future as a herdsire is virtually assured. She has been bred to Aragorn for a January 2007 cria.

Lady Eowyn is a larger female, with a looser lock structure and excellent coverage. She has good conformation, and a winning personality. One of our friendliest animals, she has a very inquisitive nature, and will come right up to you to be petted. We purchased Lady Eowyn as part of our initial foundation herd of 4 females. She has been bred to Aguas Caliente for a summer 2007 cria.

Spitfire is the second alpaca I fell in love with (the first being her 2005 cria, Wild Thing), and part of my first herd purchase. She is a beautiful animal, and is one of the friendliest alpacas you'll ever meet. She is truly huggable, and seems to enjoy neck rubs. Spitfire has an excellent, silky lock structure, great luster, and good coverage to go along with her perfect conformation. She is slightly petite, but in size only! She is quite dominant within her herd, and always gets her way. She is a great mother, with plenty of milk. She produces confident crias with the same huggable personality. Spitfire has been re-bred to Aragorn for a summer 2007 cria.

Prudence is a bit of an odd duck. She's an older girl - a full Peruvian import. As an import, she's a little more guarded than most of our herd. Prudie is an incredible mother - the most protective I've ever seen. She's the only one of our alpacas who has ever spit at me. She does it practically every time I touch any of her crias. Lately, I've noticed that rather than spit at me, she'll go after Cujo, our Pomeranian, even though I'm the one grabbing her cria. It's hilarious to watch. Cujo holds his own, though. I've seen him nip her on the lower lip as she tries to bite him. She consistently births large healthy crias with extremely high iGg and dense fleece. Prudie puts on a good show, but she's really a pussycat, once you earn her trust. Just don't expect to spend much time hugging this one!
