Tierra Prometida Alpaca Ranch

Description

Tierra's Leilani is out of 2 of the most beautiful gray animals---Tierra's Columbine and ATV Adonnis (owned by Crescent Moon Ranch). We were really hoping that she would be gray too, but she is brown! Even though I was disappointed in her color, I was disappointed in nothing else about her. She is beautiful, dense, fine, and bright.

Her fleece has gotten better as she has gotten older. She has better expression of crimp and density, but is maintaining a beautiful silky, fine fleece. She has wonderful brightness and has great coverage head to toe. And....I am still hoping that she has a gray gene.

As for her conformation, you can see for yourself how beautiful she is. She has excellent bone density and a typey, elegant look.

Norm Evan's Comments about her skin Biopsy in 2013:

"“Tierra Prometida’s Leilani” was biopsied as a 4.5 year old medium brown female with ARI#31443920. Her 15X scan shows fiber clusters that are uniform in placement but somewhat irregular in size and shape. Her density is 76 follicles SQ MM of skin with an S/P ratio average is 9.4 to 1. She shows level 4 of 4 glands and less than 20% of her secondary fibers are medullated. 100 secondary fibers average 20.9 microns while 50 primary fibers average 30.4 microns for a variation of 9.5 microns."
