Nellie was born right on her due date (she has a very predictable Mom!) A true black out of silver grey and black, she carries grey genetics from both her sire and dam (and she does have a couple of small grey spots, so she has the potential to throw grey.)

Nellie's grandsire, 5Peruvian Silverado, was hand selected out of the Sollocota Region in Peru by veterinarian and alpaca importer, Anthony Stachowski, DVM, who chose Silverado for his own herd. Silverado is best known for producing award-winning, crimpy-fleeced offspring with outstanding density and a soft handle with little or no guard hair.

Nellie has grown to be a very nice young female, with fiber that is soft and silky, with a very nice hand. She is very gentle and good-natured. Her dam and full sisters have very predictable due dates, plenty of milk, and exhibit strong maternal instincts. AND NELLIE IS FOLLOWING THE PATTERN: she delivered her first cria with no assistance - we found him up and running when we went out to feed. He was 17.5 pounds at birth, with an IgG of 1800. Nellie has strong maternal instincts and plenty of milk. She looks like an old pro looking after her new cria.

Nellie has been re-bred to Peruvian Pizzaz.
