Description
After a bit of a difficult labor, Eternity graced us with this lovely young lady. From the minute she hit the ground, we knew she was something special. Pink is what we call a talker. Just touch her and she'll tell you about it. She is very people friendly and loves to talk with the visitors. Her genetics are a book of Who's Who. She's also graced us with the finest fiber to date on the farm - an amazing 16.7! We have been happy with every cria she's produced. She is one of our best foundations girls.
June 2015 ~ Pink just had a beautiful coppery male out of Black Warrior. Very lovely crimp and bundling on this young man.
Pink has earned her well deserved retirement. She has a place with us until the end of time. At 2 weeks old, her image became the logo of my company, The Alpaca Yarn Company. She remains the friendliest alpaca we've ever had and she is priceless to us.
Awards

2007 PAOBA Breeders Showcase - 2nd place, Judges commented on the fineness and crimp of her fleece - the nicest in the class. A small fawn spot in her blanket kept her out of the top spot.
