Congratulations to Gray Alpaca Company for the recent purchase of Ka-La! Ka-La was the high-selling alpaca at the 2010 Breeders Edge Auction and has a nice 1 year show record. She has had 3 cria with ease and is an excellent mom and mild producer. She most recently had a beautiful grey male out of Santiago Feb 2014; we liked him so much we rebred Ka-La to Santiago.
