Blue Star's Marian is a truly gorgeous true black girl out of our star female, Marylu, and the renowned true black herdsire, Snowmass Nova. Even from a short distance, it was nearly impossible to tell mother and daughter apart --- they looked that much alike! Just like Marylu, Marian displays perfect conformation and a perfectly typey head, but Marian also bears the stamp of Nova beautifully, with her fine, deep black, very dense fleece.
Marian showed at NAAS 2008 at 7 months of age and took 1st place in a class of 16. In 2009 at NAAS, she got as close as a 1st place "sandwich", but the other alpaca got 1st and Marian got 2nd. We were thrilled, nonetheless!
Being a real beauty with terrific bloodlines, we arranged Marian's 1st breeding to CCNF Royal Ring of Fire in 2009. In July 2010, she single-handedly delivered a beautiful female cria, Blue Star's Irene. This fiery little girl is dark fawn like her sire and also carries his very fine, very crimpy, and, thanks to both parents, extremely dense fleece. With Irene, Marian has given us the most perfect alpaca to date on our farm and has shown herself to be a perfect Mom (an excellent milker and very attentive to her cria).
Marian is easy-going, peaceful, and very easy to handle. She has good strong bone and a perfect bite.
As Blue Star Alpacas has stopped breeding, Marian is currently open.
