Muireall delivered her first cria (as a 9-year-old maiden) without a hitch in June 2016! This female cria, Khloë, from Snowmass Snow Legend (Rockford Bay Ranch), was over 17 lbs. at birth. Muireall provided lots of milk even though first time older dams often don't.

Muireall delivered her 2021 Bradford cria, again with no problem, and has lots of milk! These two were sold to Mike Martinez from Chasing Rainbows Alpaca Farm.

We love Muireall's color and so do the folks that visit the farm. She's an eye-catcher and THE alpaca people always comment on. She had an EXCELLENT histogram considering her color for 2014 with 21.4 micron and 95.4% comfort factor and that at SEVEN years! Now she is twelve years old--see her histogram which is better than ever! She's big and pretty, with lots of presence, color, and is quite amusing with her antics. We find Muireall to be quite a stunning creature and is one of our favorites. This girl never slumps but is always very erect and upright, bright and energetic. If she were a horse I'd call her "spirited."

Muireall's first year fleece was sold to a spinner and weaver with rave reviews (www.perrytextiles.com). Getting my hands in it and working to get it ready to ship to the spinner gave me a totally new appreciation of how beautiful a fiber it was. We saved 2 oz. for the Great Western Show spin-off in Colorado and won first place! Huzzah!

She sells with a reproductive guarantee, 10-day live birth guarantee, free shipping within 100 miles, and an ultrasound to show she's pregnant.
