Alpaca News 2012
is it 12 months already?
19th May 2012
Unbelievabley 12 months has flown past and we realised our news had become old news!
We now have two more additional males in the Shangrilah white suri stud male line up, with the acquisition of Cedar House Moonflute and Cedar House Excaliabar 2. Both these males bring some classic genetics to our herd, with Moonflute sired by Pperuvian Amador and Excalibar sired by Peruvian Senator.
Moonie is full brother to Cedar House Sensational and we love his strong macho presence, excellent conformation, large frame and dense fleece. Moonflutes progeny are now being awarded in the show ring and we are so impressed that one of his progeny, Alcazar Beowulf, has now been certified and has become one of the prestigious males in our co owned Alcazar Suri Stud.
Excal is an older male who impressed us with his superb conformation, robust build, repeat fleece performance and proven ability to pass these qualities on to his progeny. We are very pleased indeed with the, cover, fine, independantly locked and lustrous fleeces we are seeing in his cria to date.
We are absolutley delighted with the progeny our co owned, elite champion male, Surilana Donaldo is producing. Donaldo is proving to be a high performance male with both pure suri females and cross bred suri females. His cria have greasy, fine and lustrous fleeces and overall have inherited his independant and stylish locks and gorgeous suri face.
On the most pathetically abyssmal day in the winter of 2011, we propeled ourselves into the world of animal showing, taking 3 suris into the ring at the New England Alpaca Show, having previously only shown fleeces.
We were delighted to come home with a number of ribbons including a broad.
Spring and summer brought us above average rainfall, it also brought us above average female cria, with 9 female cria being born in a row out of 13!! See our gallery for snaps of the latest cria.
Another new addition has been our alpaca barn, purpose built for shearing, show animals and any other alpacas needing a higher level of care or .
