Baby number 4 delivered at 5:30 pm . . . this year is definitely destroying the typical alpaca delivery time of between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Sorpressa presented us with the second cria in a row to deliver late in the day.But now we have Peggy Sue and what a beauty she is. Sorpressa is a gorgeous medium brown out of Faiks’ Firenza and MFI Peruvian Glacial Storm. Her 2006 breeding to MSA Peruvian Cannonero has resulted in a dense, curly, light fawn female with a real independent attitude. She weighed in at 16.8 pounds and was up and running in no time at all.
And to add to the excitement of the arrival of this beautiful little girl . . . we finally have a Cannonero cria we get to keep. In the past the moms have all sold before we even got a chance to see their cute little noses. We finally had to break down and buy one back from a client just to have one on the property. It seemed a real shame to have this incredible stud and not a single progeny on the property . . . but not any more.
Cannonero was awarded male color champion at the Redmond AWE show in 2003. He is out of MSA Sorpresa and PCA Spartacus with Hemingway on both sides of his lineage. His lineage also includes Pperuvian Camilio and Peruvian Navidad. He displays dense, super soft handling fleece that parts like a book in rows of shiny, crimped fiber. He is bold, square and covered to the ground.
Considering the density and crimp on both sides of her lineage we look forward to a gorgeous Peggy Sue.
