Re: [AlpacaTalk] Colors
I'd say darks (blacks and maroons) and greys are your best bets. Given
the current phobia against pintos and other fancies, unless you are one
of those breeders who doesn't care about the prevailing marketing
winds, they should be avoided if possible. Of course, sometimes pintos
or other fancies do have a way of popping up in your herd unexpectedly.
We were told once early in our breeding career, to "hide" our pinto,
because we didn't want it to get out that we had "that" on our farm.
And personally, I also breed for blacks, maroons, and rose greys. :)
