Description

Makella was the granddam who started us down the path of show-quality alpacas in the past two decades. We are sorry to say that she has passed less than a month from turning 20. This girl contributed some highly valuable genetics to our herd with many of her offspring still existing on our farm! We were blessed and grateful to have her in our lives.

Makella had it all - gorgeous fleece with uniformity, soft handle, fineness, tight crimp, and density, along with beautiful conformation, a perfect bite, and ribbon-winning presence. Makella won 5 blue ribbons in 3 different show types - shorn halter, halter, and fleece - proving that she was a complete package. With her 3.5-year-old fleece she won a blue ribbon and RESERVE COLOR CHAMPION in the Northwest Alpaca Showcase 2007. The following year she won 2nd at Nationals with her 4.5-year-old fleece, beating some very well-known farms. And in 2009 she got 1st at the AOBA World Conference with a 19/20 in fineness and handle. The fact that Makella maintains ROYAL fineness and UNIFORMITY as she ages is exactly what we are breeding for.

Makella has superior genetics in her background (Peruvian Accolade, Peruvian Augusto, Peruvian El Moustachio) and passed them on to her crias in prime form. Over the years she gave us many top award-winning offspring.
