Mount Airy Cassandra was born on 6/20/2001. She is a white female huacaya with black eyeliner and a black muzzle. She was up and nursing within 1 and 1/2 hour of her birth. That's the type of crias we love around here! She is the daughter of Latte a maroon / rose gray and Wood's Edge Macgyver a true black.
Cassandra's first cria, Anastasia, was born in October, 2003. She won 2 blue ribbons in her first alpaca show. The judge remarked on the fineness of her fleece. Cassandra's second cria, Reinette, was born in October, 2004. Both of these girls are adorable with nice, straight bodies, beautiful fleeces and plenty of personality.
Cassandra is now owned by our friend Ben Clarke at Wishful Thinking Farm in Dameron Maryland. She lives near the beach at a beautiful, large farm and Ben is a great guy who takes good care of our girls, Cassy and her 1/2 sister, Cher.
We bred Cassy to our lovely, rose gray herdsire, Nickleby in 2005 and she had a very pretty black daughter for her new owner, Ben in 2006. That little one (below) was named Aurora and she appears in our alpaca care DVD as the new born cria getting weighed with the cria scale. Cassandra, herself, also appears in the DVD, getting bred to Aurora's sire, Nickleby. That black gene from Cassy's father, McGyver just needed a little reinforcing from a gray male to produce black once again.
