 ![]()
ARI#: 31851541
Heritage: Peruvian/Chilean
Color: Medium Brown
Marcella won second place at the 2014 Empire Extravaganza Alpaca Fleece Show!
Marcella is another one of the farms curious alpacas who is a gorgeous medium brown female. She has beautiful tightly crimped fleece that is very fine, uniform, and dense. She has the perfect phenotype... She's thick-boned, has a gorgeous top-knot and face, she has a wonderful conformation, and overall has a very pleasing look.
She has her dam Skyeview Molly's gentle and caring nature and her sire CT Estrada's looks and stature. Her sire is our very own and he has won multiple champions and blues and her dam's lineage has quite a bit of grey in it and she's had five cria so far, three of them being grey! Maybe Marcella will do the same!

Heritage: Full Peruvian
Color: White
Angelito, just like his sisters: Angelica, Anika, Silver Angel,
andPenelope look just like their dam Angelina, a champion and blue
ribbon winner.
Angelito is one great looking alpaca with very fine fleece with
terrific density and staple length, with a "very thick, pleasing muzzle,
and a high frequency fleece, nice structure both in the rear and back
legs ", commented Alpaca Judge, Wade Gease.
Angelito, just like all of his siblings and dam, have an almost
perfect phenotype! They have great conformation with a strong frame,
they are thick-boned, have impressive top-knots, nice thick short
muzzles, and overall a beautiful and pleasing look. Angelina seems to
have very strong genetics!
Angelito is a fleece producing machine! His staple length is quite
impressive and every year Angelito has produced over 10 pounds of
fleece. Incredible!
Angelito would be a fabulous herdsire for any farm with his amazing
stature, fleece, and lineage. His sire is Maple Brook Angelo, a beige
male who has won champions and many blues.
