Talk about your sleeper! Iglaspa under 3 month had one thing going for him - a bright reflective fleece. WOW has that changed since! He is developing a well conformed pleasing frame on stilts for legs, good uniform fleece coverage and a lot of it. Add to this some nice tightly crimped fiber and we see this as an application for a job on our farm. Let's see if this just keeps getting better, but his name certainly fits. TO provide us a better objective insight into the qualities we see in Iglaspa we purchased a Grid Sample Test from Ian Watt. The results follow. Hip........AFD=25.9 SD=4.8 CV=18.4 CF=86.1 Staple 105mm Mid.......AFD=25.0 SD=5.1 CV=20.5 CF=86.1 Staple 80mm Shoulder AFD=26.4 SD=4.9 CV=18.6 CF=82.7 Staple 85.0 MAMGB Kitan Sapa his first offspring, has very bright fiber, soft hand, and a bunch of it. One good start!

Chantetinza was trouble from day one. Ayashe went into the barn and called and Chantet wanted to stay in the pasture. Ayashe went into the pasture and Chantet wanted to stay in the barn. Ayashe called and Chantet wanted to play with the other cria. In fact the only time she seemed to have time for mom was dinner. One night quarentined together along with a little friction when she tried nursing from the other mom's got the union between mom and daughter about right. She still has a mind of her own and is fearless approaching new things, like Addy our Yellow Lab. Never saw a dog before so she walked right up and sniffed her no fear. And yet, she walks up, allows us to perform the necessary maintenance whenever required, and has a cooperative disposition. While at Full Tilt Alpacas Chante lived up to her name and provided some real adventures for Lorilee. We selected FTAF's Blackbeard for this 2016 cria to maintain Chante's color, fineness, and staple length while improving consistency and size (Chante is a 120 pound dam). Delivered a dandy True Black male. Just had to repeat the breeding and thanks to Lorilee's generosity and patience. Lorilee thinks Chanti remembers her - not certain that is a good thing- well see...LOL 6-23-2019 delivered a TB male by way of MAMGB Wasake.
