FIONA of Stirling Ridge

If you are just thinking of starting with alpacas, and want to wade in from the shallow end, here is a sweet girl for you to train on! And she will provide you with fleece. Fiona is tried and true. She's a calm animal and very sweet. She doesn't spit, she doesn't kick, she's easy to halter, she leads well, and loads into the trailer with no problems.

We suggest at her age that she not be bred, but you could certainly try! We are not able to guarantee a pregnancy or live birth.

Fiona has strong Caligula genetics with color in her background. She has given us a white female, Nona, a medium fawn son with grey markings (Wallace), and now her latest beige girl with dark skin (Maisie), so we know she can pass on color to her offspring.

She's one of our favorites in personality: mellow-tempered, sweet-faced, easygoing, and inquisitive. She has a large frame and passes this on to her offspring (Nona, Wallace, Maisie). Exceptionally easy birthing, good milk, laid back mama, healthy, proven. She makes life easy.

Free board for one month, free transport within 50 miles.
