31197595<--ari-->TB<--color-->Celia's baby photos caught our eye. Seeing her in person, particularly her elegant head and beautiful black fiber, made us even more interested. Next, we saw her dam and liked the conformation and dense, crimpy fiber (on an older production female). Finally, looking at Patagonia Shakespeare, Celia's sire, we decided to make an offer. So, for now, Celia romps over the pastures at Enchanted Hill. We're looking forward to getting the fiber off in May, so we can have it analyzed, and we will also be able to see the shorn beauty that's underneath all that fiber. In the fall, Celia will be bred to Avatar's Avery, our rose grey herdsire. An outstanding feature of this combination is the Chilean ancestry, with a touch of Peruvian, that both of these animals have. It is refreshing to have animals with a mostly Chilean ancestry that have the type of fiber we're all looking to produce. Fall '08 Update: Celia is cushing near the fence closest to the males. She has matured nicely with extremely well-balanced conformation. If you select Celia now, you may pick her mate and leave her at Enchanted Hill until her pregnancy is confirmed by ultrasound. We'd suggest breeding her to Avatar's Avery, whose first two offspring are exquisite, typey daughters. On the other hand, if you like appaloosas like we do, Queen B Bodacious or Mr. Butterscotch would made terrific mates, and would give you a chance of getting the rare appaloosa that is fawn at birth and turns into a medium rose grey. Now that I think about this, we may just keep Celia, so you'd better act quickly. Summer '09 update: Celia settle with one breeding to our magnificent, calm appy, Queen B Bodacious. Spring '10 Update: Celia easily delivered a dark fawn female cria that is one of the nicest ever born in our herd. She has been named Koala, due to the fuzzy ears and face, and the little black nose. Take a look at her and you can see what Celia has the genetics to pro <--description-->

31197595<--ari-->Light Fawn<--color-->Description: What do you say about spun gold? 12 Color Championships in both fleece and halter? Genetics of legends? Outstanding phenotype? It's all EL CORAZON. His name means "heart", and he truly represents the heart of our breeding program at Poplar Hill. When talking alpacas it has to be all about the fleece, take a look at the fiber shot on this macho - it just doesn't get any more impressive than this. Bar none, RENOSANT has stamped his sons and daughters with the most expressive and outstanding fleeces we have ever seen. With EL CORAZON becoming one of our top herdsires he has actually shown better in the ring than his sire. As always, thank you RENOSANT for this outstanding son. EL CORAZON'S mom Leeza is a full Peruvian import that showed up here on consignment and after the birth of her first cria with us, never left. We realized early on that this gal was holding lots of secrets in her genetic past that we just had to find out more of her potential. Leeza has given us through her offspring plenty of blue and purple ribbons to decorate our home. You have to give credit where credit is due, and this female deserves a full round of applause for her improvements to the next generation. It is with great pride that Poplar Hill Alpacas and Quiet Destiny Alpacas offer EL CORAZON to your hembras for criating the next generation of show excellence. This offer is for the right farm, we are looking to get more of El Corazon's crias into the showring. From the look of the first arrivals El Corazon has passed on that amazing fleece. <--description-->
