Angelito (Angelito of Island Alpaca)

Angelito is one great looking alpaca with very fine fleece with terrific density! Angelito is a spitting, no pun intended, image of his mother Angelina. 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 and his dam Angelina is also a champion and blue ribbon winner.

Angelina (Island Alpaca Angelina)

Angelina has beautifully dense fine fleece, an incredible top-knot, a strong body and a terrific future.

This year, Angelina, was awarded her fifth blue ribbon. Angelina, at the Empire Fleece event this year, topped even MFI Astovine, who took a R. Championship at the AOBA Fleece show! Judge Cheryl  R. Gehly commented that it is "Very fine, soft, and uniform" giving it an 18.5 out of 20 possible points for fineness and handle. 

Angelina sheared 5-1/2 pounds of fleece at less than one year of age. This was 6% of her body weight at the time of her shearing, and is very impressive when you consider that a typical alpaca shears under 4 percent of fleece in a full year of growth. Find her histogram attached for your review.

With a sweet and gentle disposition, and her good looks, Angelina also has outstanding heritage; Her sire, prestigious 4Peruvian Altiplano, is an import from the Sollocata region of Peru and has produced an amazing number of show winners, Angelina included! -- See here awards received last fall below.(She was not shown prior to this, we could have expected a lot more!)

Her dam, Desni, is considered one of our best foundation females, a devoted mother, which we can expect for Angelina, and is a blue-ribbon winner herself for "Get of Dam" in 2007.

For Angelina's spring breeding 2009, we partnered her with Maple Brook's Angelo (ARI#: 833149). Angelo combines the genetics of two of the most recognized Accoyo herdsires in the country, Caligula and Felix, along with the finest and most notable Allianza male in the country, Hemingway. At 15.9 micron at 8 months of age Angelo held his fineness density handle and coverage, and was awarded the well deserved Championship at the Big E in the Fall of 2003. Angelo's fiber won a blue ribbon, best brightness, champion and JUDGE'S CHOICE this year at the 2004 Empire Extravaganza.

Angelina gave birth in June, 2010 to a truly gorgeous little boy, Angelito. He carries on his dam and sire's angelic tradition, and has himself ribboned in competitive classes.
