To say that Bocelli holds a special place in my heart would be an understatement. He was produced by Ernie and Denise Gamroth at Battle River Alpacas, and his quality is a testament to their breeding program. His sire is Hummingherd's Rum Runner, a PC Running Late son; and his dam is BR Belicia, out of RGA Miguel and Monterra's Bellana, well known champion and champion producers in Canada. Bocelli is a well put together male who displays an attractive, true to type head style. Judges have always remarked on the high degree of brightness and organization in Bocelli's fleece, its length, and the character that carries throughout from topknot to tail. He continues to maintain a very fine and dense fleece overall. He has produced several silky-fleeced cria to date (his pedigree includes several notable silky producers), with many of Bocelli's offspring displaying above average staple lengths across the blanket and into the neck, in addition to uniformity in micron, style and organization across the blanket. His cria can be identified day or night by their outstanding lustre alone. Having been tested on a range of females, he has proven himself to be a reliable complement to every pairing in passing along his traits without sacrificing colour. To date, all but one of his cria have been the same colour, or darker than their dams. His extremely mild, sociable personality makes him wonderful to work with and be around, alongside his offspring who share his good nature.

Aurora is a lovely, well grown female with a soft temperament and excellent mothering instincts and ability. She is elegant, flashy, and has the fleece to back up her good looks. Genetically, Aurora has a strong colour background and continues to display the longevity of micron that I was hoping to see come through from her parent's lines. She also displays a fantastic degree of brightness, a velvety soft handle, and a rich, caramel fawn colour that is gorgeous once spun. As a dam, Aurora is proving herself to be a rich and heavy milker, with no difficulties maintaining robust health.
