Cassiel (Cassiel of Island Alpaca)

Cassiel definitely lives up to his name (Cassiel is the name of the angel who watches the world unfold before him without interfering). He likes to sit calmly watching the antics of the other cria, and enjoying the Vineyard sunshine.  

Cassiel has certainly inherited excellent traits from his dam, a daughter of CCNF Archangel, and his father, PH Navigator's Commander.

We look forward to seeing Cassiel's even disposition and beautiful fleece passed on to future generations- already Judge Wade Gease commented on his attractive sheen!

Below, Cassiel is shorn, yielding 4.6 pounds of fleece (well over 5% of his body weight at time of shearing. 

Judge commented on his fleece for the Southern Select Alpaca Show 2013: "Nice brightness and crimp. Uniformity of micron was consistent. Handle was soft. Drafted evenly. Spins consistently. No loss in degree of production. Very nice yarn. Yarn usability should be durable and flexible. Nice brightness again! Soft and bright!"
