Faith and Fleece Alpacas

Description

This girl was born just a bit early and a little small in size to a first time mom. She soon picked up the pace and she could be seen zooming around the pasture. Zaila was so cute and spunky with a seemingly zest for life pronking and showing off for visitors. She just love loved to run. Despite Zaila's dark color something in this girls eyes really stand out.

Her dam is a robust freckled, rose grey from one of our top favorites, GLR Armani. Joy has a lot of fleece, I think over a 5 pound blanket last shear. Zaila's sire, Zaliki, had skin biopsy showing good density and above average fineness in secondaries noted in color of black. He received a couple championships, and won above 18 other fleeces at the Suri Network fleece show. Zaliki is a strikingly handsome, robust guy and he was also noted to have high luster 18 of 20 on fleece score. We see that trait being exhibited in her already and couldn't be happier especially considering he has silver grey in his pedigree from Silver-heat not to mention his gorgeous dam is WLK Peruvian Zara.

We entered Zaila in the fall show 2022 and the judge awarded her a 1st place and remarked about her nice conformation and luster. She is also a sweet one to handle. We are looking forward to seeing how her fleece continues to develop and can hardly wait come breeding time.
