Moonview Chaya

Chaya is Hebrew for Eve. My beloved Aunt died the year before Chaya was born. I wanted to name one of my alpacas after her. She was a strong, tenacious and beautiful woman. Chaya is a feisty, self-possessed mahogany alpaca. When born, she hit the ground and took off looking for the first available teat. Her Mom, a maiden, was in shock and hadn’t the first idea what to do. Thankfully, we were able to round up Chaya and Mom and get them to the barn. Chaya was 12 pounds at birth, but Mom had excellent milk production, so once she realized that this little pistol belonged to her, they quickly bonded, and Chaya gained weight. She was born within two weeks of Aoife and before their first shearing it was difficult to tell them apart. Chaya has dark coloring on her face and teddy bear ears. Now it is easy to tell them apart because Chaya's fiber is darker. Chaya’s first blanket has excellent crimp and softness. A sample of her fiber has been sent to SCG for evaluation. Her Mom is Strawberry (ARI 32662290) with red mahogany fiber. Herdshire is award winning Snowmass Chacau (ARI 3261440) 2019 1st place Gold Country Gathering 2019 CABA Classic 2nd place in halter. Chaya is a yearling with great genetic and beautiful color to her fiber. She is for sale. Please contact me for a fiber sample or video.
