For our 2nd purchase, we searched for a rose grey female and found Raina. Raina is a lovely rose grey maiden who sold, as there was several interested parties before us. We immediately said we wanted Rosie, Raina's mom. We felt that if Rosie had produced a cria with this much interest then she must certainly be a good choice for us. And the contract was signed.
Rosie arrived at our farm in February of 2009. She's a petite girl and I thought she looked rather delicate. Little did I know that she would be the peace keeper of the farm.
Rosie gave birth to the 1st cria born on our farm. How excited we were ! A bay black boy out of Mesquites Peruvian Blackmail. It was amazing watching the interactions of mother and cria, herdmates and new cria, mother and herdmates.
Rosie had accepted Mable as the little one's playmate and as we found out later, ther was a payment for her services. We had to remove Mable from the herd just to clip her nails as Rosie would not allow it. The payment was protection that continues to this day !
Rosie also acts as nanny to the other crias. And YES Rosie is our spitter !
To us... Rosie is the best alpaca we have!
UPDATE!!! Rosie delivered a gray female who's sire is our Whispering Winds Sonic Boom.
