RE: [AlpacaTalk] RE: new cria/color

 

Hi Susan,

 

To the alpaca folks---bay black is the color of black coffee---but frequently, such animals have black points just like horses…however, I have a true black boy who is a color champion…and he has rusty tips by the end of the season, but is true black at the skin…no other color fibers, just black.

 

So, by the way alpaca folks think, your girl would be a TB---even though she looks differently on her tips.

Thanks, Heather.  Problem is, I have no patience because in my book if he is a Suri appy with grey, we have a nicer alpaca and people are already asking who his herdsire is.  For those who are interested, it is SPEA Aragon, a junior in Indiana not owned by us.  His sire is Concert Master.  We own this appy cria's sister/aunt?, one of Concert Master's female crias (by the same dam) who is just fantastic.  I would repeat either breeding if they were closer but my spouse has trouble parting with the alpacas.  Not great for sales, showing or for our breeding program.  LOL

 

I have a question about bay blacks too - in horses a bay is a brown coat of any shade with black points (legs, mane and tail).  So when I registered one of our females as bay black, I called ARI to ask them and they couldn't tell me.  She has a brown stomach, black face and legs and her prime fleece at the skin is TB.  I would think she's a TB but I don't want to misrepresent her.  When we registered her I think she had AFFB  "Amniotic Fluid Fleece Burn".  ; )
