UP and COMING SHOWGIRL!
A MULTICOLOR WITH SILVER/GREY GENETICS!!

Thank you Tom and Sandra Foster of Smokey Valley Alpacas for adding Mikasa to your new herd!

Mikasa is a stunning girl. She is typey, well boned, and well covered. Her fleece is fine, soft and bright. She is multicolored, white with brown points on all her feet, tip of the tail and a brown patch on each side of her prime blanket! She is healthy, active, and just a great first cria out of her Dam, Lenox.

Mikasa's heritage includes two well known Grand Sires, Silver Cesario and Matador. Her genetic micron and comfort factors at 3 months of age are 15.8 and 97.8% respectively! She should be very capable of throwing color as well.

Mikasa has been weaned and has demonstrated her independence. If you appreciate the unique characteristics of multicolored alpacas, especially with her silver/grey genetics, consider adding Mikasa to your foundation herd.

Mikasa sells with full ranch guarantees as described in the sales contract and a pre-purchase exam by our veterinarian.

Dam: PPPeruvian Tendu 5058

Beige, 139154, Full Peruvian
Tendu is a 1995 beige import from the Sollocottá Cooperative in Peru. We have no information on her sire and dam as is true with most imports. When she arrived at Maplewood Farm, Dr. Jim Vickers rated her a "#8", and she became part of MWF's foundation herd. In that time, she was bred to Augusto, Chaparral, and Bravado, and produced award winning crias. In July of 2002, Tendu became the first production female for Snow Dancer Ranch. She has proven to be a "hands off" delivery specialist, providing ample colostrum and milk for her young, and unconditional care in their early months.
