Autumn Sun Alpacas at Autumn Sun Acres

Retired

Reference only: ACC Marcy

Marcy is a mature dam but all the positive ways. She is proven to produce improved crias following the colors of their sires. She has bred, birthed, nursed and nurtured with ease all females except for one male, and in fawn and brown colors from fawn sires and black color from brown, grey and black sires.

Marcy has herself and has passed to her crias an uniformity of micron and style across her blanket, which leads to a lasting next-to-skin comfort-feel. Her fiber is still soft and bright now, with a smooth handle after several pregnancies. When bred to different males she has taken their attributes and added them to hers for an improved cria.

Marcy is a calm alpaca -- not a 'troublemaker' in the herd, easy to handle, and while being a good mom she isn't overly protective of her crias so as to make cria care a problem. She has no or care issues and is in good health. She is an attentive dam and productive nurser, with all of her crias having grown well.

She is nicely conformed, still well balanced and relaxed in her easy, healthy movement. Our shearer had commented on how good her condition was, never guessing her to be a senior girl until told, and asked us how we kept our older alpacas looking good. His assessment reinforced our belief that good breeding and robust fiber come from healthy alpacas not 'dieting' to reduce their micron.

She is sweet, calm female.
