Description
After a bit of a difficult labor, Eternity graced us with this lovely young lady. From the minute she hit the ground, we knew she was something special. Pink is what we call a talker. Just touch her and she'll tell you about it. She is very people friendly and loves to talk with the visitors. Her genetics are a book of Who's Who. She's also graced us with the finest fiber to date on the farm - an amazing 16.7! We have been happy with every cria she's produced. She is one of our best foundations girls.
June 2015 ~ Pink just had a beautiful coppery male out of Black Warrior. Very lovely crimp and bundling on this young man.
Pink has earned her well deserved retirement. She has a place with us until the end of time. At 2 weeks old, her image became the logo of my company, The Alpaca Yarn Company. She remains the friendliest alpaca we've ever had and she is priceless to us - still hanging in there at almost 20 years!
