Candlelight's Irish Crystal
|
Award Winning Foundation Female
|
Crystal has a deep, rich medium brown fleece that feels buttery soft when you run your fingers through it. At three years of age and two cria, her fleece still has the same soft handle that first attracted us. Crystal's raw fleece is always the first one sold every year.
Her genetics are packed with top of the line alpacas. Her sire is out of MFI Peruvian Jericho and her dam's genetics include Royal Fawn. Crystal's sire My Peruvian Bordeaux produces phenomenal cria's. Bordeaux has won many blue ribbons and his cria, including Crystal, have followed in his footsteps.
Crystal has a total of 17 Ribbons!!!!  Crystal's awards are listed below. We have entered Crystal's fleece into two Fleece shows for 2009. We hope her winning streak will continue. Crystal's blanket is soft, crimpy, and has great bundling. Crystal has proven herself as a top-notch female by not only winning multiple awards and being consistent in her placing, but has also produced two phenomenal cria's. Her 2008 cria was a medium fawn female, Little Luc's Cassiopeia; her 2009 cria is a medium brown male, Goldenstar's Spookta'cular, who is a splitting image of his dam.
