Description

Shayla has the same buttery handle of fleece that sold me on her mother. Years before I had been shown a fleece sample of her dam Natashenka (Socks) and I marveled not only at the length of staple, high frequency crimp, but at the extreme soft softness of the dark rose grey. I remember folding it up in my palm and squeezing. I remembered that feel for several years. When I was visiting that farm again I asked about her and actually met her. A very calm, friendly, easy to handle girl was brought in with a rambunctious female cria. I purchased both with hopes of making more rose grey. Shayla is from a pretty potent grey and black making line of males which did overcome the strong brown genetics from Socks. I would definetly put our Champion Grey Primus on her late summer 2025 if ready, for that grey. Polson would do an awesome black as well. I'm planning waaay ahead and at the same time not too far ahead for the farm. I'd like to get the herd down from 44 to around 24 before spring and that includes keeping all my oldies as I'm afraid a sudden change would cause a downward spiral. So, I'm letting some young ones go knowing that I will be seeing their parents to their end of life. If there is no price listed it is just because I have researched pricing for this animal yet or will be putting in a package. I will be posting photos soon-she was going to stay her so no photo shoots were done for sale.
In regards to her lower placements at the shows, we knew she wouldn't place well simply because she wasn't shorn having been born Sept. 18th in Northern Wisconsin. We wanted her to be companion with our one other girl Samantha. Samantha was shorn (born in July) and is not as fine and was small for age but did better by to placements in each class-which is why we really try to have earlier cria!
I hate to sell this girl but she really helps round out the package I created with two grey girls. Also, she is very joyful especially at treat time. I'm paranoid of falling and she makes me nervous. Just coming off another knee injury-not alpaca related but still...HUGE potential which is why she was in foundation herd. Maybe her dam has another one in her.
