BIR's Calliope

Calliope is a very special girl and we are so glad to welcome her to Honey Maple Farms! We had seen her pictures online, but when we finally saw her in person...WOW!!! She is a classic grey with soft, fine fleece and she has maroon tips when she is in full fleece. Just stunning!!

Now that she is a bit older, Calliope's fleece has taken on a lovely "lavender" sheen. Our son remarked, "I didn't know they made purple alpacas." Well, she is not exactly purple, but she IS beautiful to behold! Calliope was an excellent choice foundation female for us as we pursue a grey line. All this beauty and excellent fleece stats as well. Check out her histogram!

Calliope delivered a nice surprise for us on June 18.. a gorgeous brown GIRL!!! She was a little peanut at 13.6 pounds, but she sure is growing fast. This female has beautiful coloring...medium brown/grey undertones with black ears and nose. She was grey from the knees down for the first few days, but has become more uniform in her coloring now in a weeks' time. We will be watching her with great interest to see if her colors change any more. She is really beautiful!!
