RITA is know as the "Elegant Elder" on the farm. She is mature and wise and the mother of 12. She is now retired from breeding and is relaxing taking on the role of grandmother, aunt and overall herd chaperone. Rita was one of the orignal imported alpacas to the U.S. and you can still see the signs of her quarantining by the markings on her ears. Rita is owned by Alpacas of Unity and is boarded at Northern Solstice Alpaca Farm.
