Celene is a very lady like full Bolivian white import with amazing fleece. Her light fawn son, Amadeus (pictured right) is being used currently as a herdsire at Charming Forge Alpacas in PA. Celene gave birth on 11-24-09 to a peach hued male cria out of Livingston (dark brown 19.9 micron). We were thrilled that she had her cria unassisted and she has plenty (like an amazing amount) of milk! His fiber is super fine as we expected and looks to have an interesting shade of pink as well as little bundles of crimp already!
Easy to handle in an 'import' kind of way, Celene is excellent within her herd and a very good mother with plenty of milk for her babies. Originally from Alpaca's of America, her quality at import is indicated by the fineness of her fleece...a 16 micron. This is typical of the Bolivian genetics and we are very excited to have her as an addition to our herd. Celene is a medium sized alpaca with excellent bone structure. Her fiber remains fine and very crimpy for her age. Shearing this spring showed Celene has kept her uniform crimp all the way through her fleece, even at her age - her fleece is spectacular. Ask for a fiber sample - you won't be disappointed! These full Bolivian genetics are rare and we are happy to add them to our herd!
Celene comes bred to our co-owned full Bolivian fawn herdsire, Firethorn. This is not a typical opportunity as full Bolivian's make up about 2% of the entire alpaca population in this country. Celene has been bred in June and is spitting off after one breeding. Ultrasound in a few weeks and she is ready to go!
