Patchwork Meadow's Velvetina

Velvetina is one of the best female crias we have produced, with her excellent conformation, strong frame, great head, and lustrous dark brown fiber. She is readily noticed in the pasture, and she is very easy to handle in the barn and on the lead. Velvetina is friendly and gentle, and a favorite in our herd.

Velvetina’s dam, Olivia, is a blue ribbon Peruvian Prestige daughter, which makes her a granddaughter to the famous PPPeruvian Royal Fawn. Velvetina’s sire is multiple Champion Black Huacaya, Hilltop’s Dreamer’s Advocate, who passed on his stature, perfect bite and especially his outstanding fiber character to his offspring.

Velvetina was  bred in the Fall of 2008 to 12 time Color Champion  NM Beethoven, owned by Vermont Alpaca Company and Pond View Alpacas. We can’t imagine a better pairing, and we are expecting a powerhouse cria late next summer.

August 2009 update:  Velvetina gave birth to Beethoven's Wildflower Serenade on Aug.19, 2009.  Please look for information about this incredible cria on our Crias page. 

Velvetina has now been bred, with pregnancy confirmed,  to 20 time Halter Championship winner HRF Peruvian Challenger of Hickory Ridge Farm.   We anticipate another outstanding offspring from Velvetina in August of  2010.
