827441 Light Fawn Miss Whillow crossed the Rainbow Bridge but her offspring carry on her Peruvian traits, luster, and locks.
Peruvian Angel & Inca Hoots as Grand sires Whillow was the special one we purchased to start our breeding program. She has had 6 wonderful cria for us. The latest one, 'Bizmark' is a big white boy (born at almost 24lbs) out of our own LHSA Lucas. Like her other cria he has very fine fleece, lots of luster, and twisted locks.
Description
LHSA Ragamuffin scored a 4.43 in the S.H.I.P program! A perfect suri type & confirmation score. His fiber scores for handle, lock, density, uniformity were all between 4 and 4.5! We couldn't have been more pleased with this nice locked and lustrous suri male. Ragamuffin has solid fleece on his legs and the back of his head, and a model suri head.
Ragamuffin's density is 35 follicles /sq. mm, with a S/P of 8.5. His secondary fibers average 26.1 micron with primaries at 31.8 micron. His fiber shear weight averages between 4-5.4 pounds.
LHSA Ragamuffin was not a fit for our breeding program due color. He has experienced no major health issues. He is halter trained and handles easily.
A word about the health practices at Long Hollow Suri Alpacas… We take the health of our herd seriously.
• All alpacas are vaccinated annually, and bred females are vaccinated 30-60 days prior to birth of their cria.
• Fecal flotations are performed on EACH individual alpaca monthly and treatment is completed on a per alpaca basis.
• All alpacas receive monthly injections as a precaution against meningeal worm.
• Bred females receive a minimum of 1 ultrasounds performed onsite by a veterinarian and our veterinary technician.
We interact daily with all our animals to ensure any medical needs are addressed as needed and this improves their socialization.
