KONTIKKI GAVE BIRTH TO TWINSin 2013! A BOY AND A GIRL. SHE IS A RARE ALPACA, INDEED.
She is the friendliest alpaca on our farm. Kontikki wants to follow us right into the house! Gorgeous head with very typey suri style. Her luster is outstanding. Excellent density with nice solidity of lock. You have never seen locks of fiber with this kind of luster. It is absolutely greasy looking. The shearer was so impressed that he said, "you better keep this one." She sheared 8.8 lbs for neck and blanket only.
When we had our suri herd professionally evaluated, Susan Telez asked to take a sample of Kontikki's flees as she had never seen anythiung quite like it for luster. Kontikki sheared 10 lbs. of fleece in 2013.
Kontikki gave birth to a lovely light brown female that we named Kona Girl. Kona girl was sold to a farm in Wyoming recently. Her babies always have such amazingly friendly personalities and are highly intelligent. We are expecting a 2017 cria sired by Armani's Giorgio, our amazing top ranking herdsire!
