A medium fawn female with vicuna markings and imported in 1998 from the Belen farm in Peru, 6Peruvian Paulettha was an excellent and protective mom, and gave gave to us large boned, conformationally correct girls with fine fleece and high IgGs, including our own Quelle Surprise, multiple blue ribbon winner Morning Sky's Grande Alera, Morning Sky's Grande Dencia, Morning Sky's Just Glorious, and Morning Sky's Grande Laramie.
It is said that some females are as important as the males in a breeding program, and in our book, Paulettha was one of those foundation females. She blessed us with five beautiful females in a row, gave birth to all of them easily, and mothered and guarded them closely. Paulettha was the alpha female of our herd and looked out for everyone, large or small, related or not. She taught us many challenging lessons about alpaca ownership in very short order, and made a lasting impression on everyone who visited our farm.
We bought 1/2 interest in her perfect match, Grand Alero, to breed her to him again for a fifth time, but it was not to be. We will treasure her lovely offspring, and never forget the positive mark that she left on our breeding program. She will be sorely missed...
