Calpurnia was the largest of the cria born in 2009 and has continued to grow apace so that she's now full size. She's a beautiful bay black and has a superb fleece with very fine but dense fibre and good crimp. She's easy to handle and is halter trained. She enjoys going for walks- particularly as this often offers an opportunity to grab some new leaves - it has to be said she does like her food and is always first to the food bowls in the morning - in fact she's a real glutton. She'll eat anything but loves carrots and apples just like her Mum. She's got a strong character and holds her own with the older alpacas.
This year we mated her for the first time to Alpaca Stud's Nyetimber. As a grey, it will be intersting to see what she produces, but with Nyetimber's quality we're hopeful for something good.
