Meet Montague. a.k.a. Monty. He looks like he’s a light brown, but when you part his fiber, he is a beautiful black. When alpacas are in utero, their newly fiber can become “bleached”. It’s only when the new fiber begins to grow in that you can truly see what color they will become. Monty was born in August, 2008.
You’ve seen him in our literature; he’s the short one…
Another “Monty Mug” is one that I use in seminars…
That was Monty then, but this is Monty now, well this winter. You can just see his density and his curls!
Alpacas are weaned when they are approximately 6 months.
This is Monty now…
