This girl has some impressive ancestry both in production and color. Ella is a compact female. She looks so much like her cria picture with her Mom, just a bit taller! She seems to take on the sires attributes extensively so I'm looking forward to putting this girls with several of my studs. It is nice that she is new blood to my herd. Her 2017 daughter is a super solid msg sired by Ambrose of Milan (Epic Alpacas). Her 2018 daughter is a black tipped dark brown. Very squared up and healthy. 2019 brought her first son who is a stunning light silver grey boy from our mrg stud JJA Royal Wrangler. We've named him Wrangler's Rascal.
2020 update: Rascal got a little darker to medium silver grey, great handle of silky crimpy fiber. He didn't have much crimp as a newborn but boy did it come in nice as a weanling. He has been sold. On August 2 Ella had a look alike daughter that we named Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds as one eye has a patch of crystal blue that seems to flicker. Primus is the sire of this girl and I think it is Ella's best yet. At this point very light silver grey blanket with grey ears, topkot and a black rectangle on her hind leg. Look at the picture here of Ella as a cria and that is Lucy! She is a very robost healthy girl!
Sorry, as much as I crop it the bottom photo won't stay vertical. Enlarge to see that corkscrew fleece!
We gave Ella a year off from the maternity mode. When she is ready to breed she just comes up to her people and as soon as you touch her she cushes which makes breeding forecasting very easy. In full disclosure, it took Ella a long time to be "normal" as she was sold 3 times in a short time frame and trust was a huge issue. Now that she has matured mentally and gained trust of humans she should be much better if we sell her but that's a big if. I really like this girls offspring!
2022: Ella had a Seriously Silver male cria that is stunning! She was rebred to Seriously Silver again on 7/4/2022! Unfortunately, on May 11th we discovered that she had been pregnant with twins-so rare. The placenta wasn't able to sustain one and since it wasn't delivered, it diseased the other. We had to manually retrieve them and are now treating her so she doesn't become septic as the vet said the cria died between 1 and 2 weeks ago. She will not be bred until next year, 2024.
June 2024. Ella is waiting for her new owner to decide which of our studs to pair with her before taking ownership. Seriously Silver or Primus would be a great choice. Can almost guarantee a grey.
July 2024 Ella has been bred to Seriously Silver for a June 2025 cria. This price covers the price of one grey female and Ella has a handful of pregnancies left in her. Great deal!
