Aviator's Aurora

 
As you can see, Aurora brings a blend of genetics like no other.  From the rare and elite Canadian genetics on top, to the US classics Augusto, Leon, and Guido below, Aurora is a masterpiece of genetic planning.  She was born to Augusta at Lavender Fields in Colorado, before coming to Texas.   We saw a few photos of her right after the birth, and knew we had to take the trip.  We met them both when Aurora was only three weeks old, and were astonished at what we saw (photo below). 

Our very first white alpaca, and a beautiful female at that!  She had a very distinctive head, which was a gift from both parents, wonderfully soft  and dense fiber with serious character, and very strong conformation, even as a cria.  She looked like what we wanted our breeding program to produce every time.  We were very happy with this acquisition and birth, and our cheeks were sore from all the smiling during that trip. 

Since arriving in Texas, we are certain Aurora thinks she lives in an oven, now.  She has finally become accustomed to the environment and produced her first cria, Chaccoyo's Bonny Lass, a beautiful white female.  

I can't imagine our herd without her, but if pressed, I suppose I could put a price on her.  Since she delivered so close to the late spring heat we decided to wait to re-breed Aurora.  She was bred to Omega One at Blue Gate Alpacas in Austin, Texas in spring 2011.  WOW!  We simply cannot wait for that one!

Just leaves me breathless!
