Let the Breeding Begin!

With the breeding season in full swing we’ve been full of activity on the ranch. Wira Cocha was a busy boy this week breeding Shakira, Aurora and Marilyn. We absolutely love what we have gotten from Wira Cocha and with Marilyn as a full Peruvian, we plan to have a full Peruvian offspring (hopefully female) next fall.

Ottimo filled out an application for stud row and he was accepted! He was immediately put to the test with a breeding to Argento our silver girl. Otto, as we call him, has Peruvian Victor genetics as well as Peruvian Don Julio and Peruvian Oro. His sire is dark rose grey so we’re hoping to create a silver offspring. However, alpaca breeding is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you'll get! Thankfully, Otto had no problem knowing what to do. I thought he did great for his first time.

We will field test each female 14 days after the breeding session. If any of the girls kush we will breed them again. Now we just sit back and wait for the crias to arrive next month.

Here's yours truly putting the finishing touches on a new pasture. With too much fighting amongst the boys, we had to separate the yearlings from the older males.
