Isn't she cunning?
This is the official coming out of Mamattegwa. She was born to Ambiance this past September, but today I finally filed her registration paperwork with ARI (The Alpaca Registry), so she is now an 'official' member of the alpaca community.
She was an exciting criation for us (Yes I misspelled it on purpose...) as prior to this pairing Ambiance had only been bred to StudMaster male ElToro. Granted we loved the results of those breedings and were blessed with two beautiful femals, Peboona and Nebisownhansoo, but unfortunately ElToro had fallen quite ill so we reluctantly found another mate for Ambiance.
Ambiance was not too keen on her new lover though. Although we thought NWA Ltd. Focus was handsome and had all the right stuff, it took a number of dates before Ambiance was willing to be receptive to him. All of that was worth the wait.
Mattie, as we like to call her here is a fantastic creature. Once again Ambiance has not let us down. Mattie was born all legs as you can see from her profile pictures and with a dense blanket of fleece. Both her parents are extremely dense, so we knew that wouldn't be a problem.
And, like her sisters, she was born with a fantastic apricot-colored fleece as shown in her ears. She is so adorable and much liked here on the farm. We shall see how she progresses. Of course they are all cute when they are young. Mattie's personality is mischevious. She likes to sneak up on you and then as soon as she is found out, she turns quick and bucks herself away. Chasing chickens is her next favorite passtime. It is funny to see a flock of chicken come running and flapping out of the barn with this ball of apricot-fleeced legs barrelling out behind them.
