Dam: FF Billie Jean

FF Legacy Gold's Lucky 13 Granddaughter!

FF Billie Jean

HuacayaOpen (Female)Medium Fawn

AOA# 31674065DOB: 6/27/200915 yrs

Billie Jean was up nursing when she was discovered and then she was quickly named in honor of the late Michael Jackson, as she was born on the day of his passing.. and she does love to “dance” in the paddock! Billie Jean has some notables in her heritage (including Snowmass Legacy Gold and The Silversmith), and we expect great things from this beauty. Her fiber is luxuriously soft, and with two extremely dense parents, she should have an abundance of it. Billie Jean’s dam and granddam have both produced plenty of milk, and exhibited strong maternal instincts and it's no surprise that Billie Jean is the same. She will be a sound addition to any herd. Billie Jean is a very loving and caring alpaca, with her personality and with her mother skills. When she gave birth to her first cria in 2012, Estrada's Blaze, she did an amazing job! She had no difficulties and it was a smooth and quick birth. As soon as we dried Blaze off she was instantly humming to him and nibbling gently at his face. Blaze has amazing tight crimp that goes to the tip and great density. For more information or photos please email us at [email protected].

Description

Blaze won First Place at the Big E Fleece Show and at the Southern Select Alpaca Show Spin-Off in 2015! He also won first place at the New England Hands on Alpaca Fleece Show in 2014. Blaze is eye-catching with amazing and optimal crimp-style; incredibly tight crimp that goes to the tip. His fleece has great density and fineness and is bright. He's got a great phenotype! With a nicely grown top-knot, he's thick-boned, and he has great conformation with a strong frame and perfect bite. Blaze is a very gentle boy who is quite easy to handle. He is well halter trained and is curious of new things. His sire is CT Estrada who has won multiple champions and blues. When our shearer got a closer look at Blaze she was very impressed. Blaze was the first Billie Jean (from the Legacy line) and Estrada cria and we were so impressed that we repeated this breeding.
