You can't ask for a better mother. Tiara is an excellent milker--AND she will nurse crias other than her own! We are always having to pull other crias off of her, it's like she has chocolate milk! And, in a true crisis where we lost a dam with a 7 week old cria, Tiara immediately adopted that cria and bonded with him and nursed him like he was her own all the while nursing her own cria at the time. Tiara passes on her luster and fineness to all of her cria, even her dark brown son, Sawyer, has her wonderful fineness. Tiara has a wonderful temperament and is my favorite alpaca that I own. I hate to part with her, but I've been agisting for years and the cost is just getting to be more than I can handle. I've stopped breeding and am down to my last favorites that I held onto. Tiara is healthy, active and bucks and kicks around the pasture with the crias.
