A sad day on our farm, today, June 3, 2013 after grazing in the pasture and enjoying this beautiful 60 degree sunny day, the alpaca heaven gates opened and called Mochica home. She was an amazing female, she shared a paddock with our females growing up to become moms themselves. After returning from the vet, (we had Mochica cremated) the girls, Annastasia, Shyloh, Brianna, Cleopatra, Charlie Girl and Josephine were all laying on the inside of the barn that Mochica called "her space", they knew! Mochica is so missed already!!! May she rest in peace. We truly loved this amazing female and know she passed right where she wanted to, in her pasture! Rest in peace Mochica..MoMo as she was known on the farm. Mochica has been retired and will stay and rest comfortably here on our 40 acres where she is treasured and loved. She is an amazing female that rules the farm, she can do anything she wants. We have her granddaughter,Fiona. She is an amazing female and the only way to get Mochica is through her offspring. She is truly something special!! Mochica came to the USA from the Allianzia Farm in Peru, in the last USA importation. A sweet, sweet face, small framed female. Mochica joined us from Mary Goodman of Mary's Alpacas who has an outstanding breeding program. At 19 years of age. Mochica still exhibits the fineness of fleece the Allianzia Farm is recognized for. Mochica is an outstanding mother, and is still in excellent health. She had trouble free births, and her crias enjoy lots and lots of good milk! As new crias are born Mochica is the first to babysit so the new mom can enjoy some rest and hay!! Just a delight we call her the Prima Donna of the farm. She is missed! Mochica's offspring include: MFG Mary's Lolita-Sold, Caligula Justinian's Rock Stardom-Sold, MRAR Mochica's Mr. Legacy Grande-Sold, Mr. Aristotle's Peruvian Sir Maximo-Sold Thank you for reading Mochica's story, she is truly missed!
