Year after year Asmerelda keeps giving us beautiful crias. A cria
is a baby alpaca. She takes great care of these babies with lots of milk. The pictures here show Asmerelda in a full fleece as well as sheared and with several years of cria.
At dusk it seems the cria like to run around and "pronk" a jump. Asmerelda has been seen pronking with the cria. She is delightful.
Asmerelda is a female, bay black, huacaya alpaca. She is
from the Sukee von Tr blood line. Sukee was a fiber champion. Asmerelda’s
offspring also carry this champion’s very fine fiber some which are as low as 18.3 micros .
Asmerelda, even at the age of 12 years old, has held her
micro fineness at 25.1 .
She is a good mom with plenty of milk for her cria and has
given birth without assistance time and time again. She has produced all sorts
of colors, such as: true black, medium fawn, medium silver gray, dark brown.
Asmerelda is gentle in spirit and walks on a halter. She is
easy to doctor on herd health day. She has white around her muzzle and some
black that looks like a mustache. She has white on her back hind that looks as
if someone with white paint on their fingers painted it there.
Asmerelda would make a good addition to your herd especially
if you are looking for color. She could be mixed with other alpacas on our
ranch to create a package deal for you. Check out Asmerelda’s son Franklin. He
is an up and coming herdsire with fineness of fiber, density and medium fawn
color. He will begin breeding spring 2013.
