Dam: APF Macaria ARI#
30547056 Light Brown Round and round and round she goes, what color she throws, nobody knows!
APF Macaria is light brown with patches of silver grey at her shoulders. Her father, ELK Hercules, is white, and her mother, Brookmere's Camella is black. Her cria have been beige, black, and black, but with white, fawn, brown, black and yes, grey, in her genes, who knows?
Macaria's fleece is bright with a long staple length. It spins into lovely, soft yarn. She is conformationally correct, including her bite.
Macaria is a fabulous mom! She actually nursed another dam’s cria when that dam was in distress after delivering. She’s had three flawless births with healthy cria.
Macaria stands tall and proud and has been our go-to alpaca for outreach events. She will be a wonderful addition to a colorful herd, or to a brand-new herd!
She is bred to our stunning herdsire Snowmass King Leonidus, with her cria due in May, 2018. We have every confidence that Macaria will have an easy delivery and will be a fabulous mom -- and she sells for little more than the cost of Leo's breedings!
Description
As Stevie Nicks sings it, "Rhiannon rings like a bell in the night, and wouldn't you love to love her?" Wouldn't YOU love to love Rhiannon? Her fleece is fine and bright with a lovely hand! She took blue ribbons in the spin-off and cottage fleece competitions at VAOBA in 2013. The cottage fleece judge commented on the soft glow of her fleece, and noted that spinning would produce "beautiful yarn -- fine gauge with very soft hand." Suggested use of the yarn by the judge: knitting, crochet, weaving, next-to-skin garments, and baby items.
Rhiannon is the beautiful and bright black daughter of A.L. Paca's Exclusivo. "Clue's" grey mother is 18 time champion A.L.Paca's Chiri Upper, out of 8 time champion Enchantment's Chiricahua and Simba of A.L.Pacas. Clue's sire is the infamous MFI Jericho. What else needs to be said?
Rhiannon's cria have done well in the show ring. Her daughter, Freeflyer's Freebird, was a beautiful medium fawn color and took 3rd place out of 14 in Halter at VAOBA in 2015. Her true black son Billy the Kid took 2nd out of 7 in Halter at PAOBA in 2019.
