RE: [AlpacaTalk] Colors
Color is a personal preference. I have a preference for grey and black!
White is easiest to dye, but it depends where you are going to focus your
market. As for studs, again, personal preference. You can have a stud with
many ribbons, but the shows may have been small. You could get an
outstanding male with no ribbons but unbelievable fiber! When you breed,
check the genealogy of both parents - check their colors of their offspring.
You can always try for a certain color, but you never know what you are
going to get!

We are still getting ready to build our herd. Cant even call it a herd, it
will be so small. We have decided on 6 females to start.
Color questions...
selling best? That is if quality to quality the animals are identical, what
color will sell best.
Also, at some point we would like to consider gaining a stud or two. Are
there more desirable colors should we have a mixed herd of females? So far
my
son has said he wants and all black and my daughter a light fawn. We are
figuring two whites. My favorite are the greys and the patterned. So maybe
one of
those too. Considering all the colors, what would be the ideal male color in
order to produce marketable babies and fiber?
