MAMGB Wiyaka "Feather Down"

MAMGB Wiyaka means Feather Down in Lakota. This name was well earned due to her fleece which is as soft as feather down. She has many crimp per inch, and density. Her blanket characteristics are uniform and carry into her legs, tail, and topknot. Recently assessed she had no guard hair!

Pedigree. On the dams side is Knighthawk of KPR, Johnson S112, and The Kings Ransom. The sire is Cresent Moon Velocity, Cresent Moon Valentino, and Danko.

Conformation. Her neck, body, and legs are in proportion to each other. She has a great frame on strong legs and an excellent bite.

Fleece. AFD=23.2 and SD=5.9 with the average between the Min and Max of 3.55 demonstrates the consistency in what we see in her fleece. Combine this with her staple length and you end up with a lot of nice fleece.

Disposition. When we walk into the pasture she will come greet us and then back to her cria buddies for a romp. When we need to perform maintenance she stands with patience. We see a very mild mannered disposition, but don't let her fool you, if one of the cria gets too rowdy, she will stand for herself and does.

Wiyaka has been exposed to Mondavi for a potential black 2012 cria. UPDATE: Not black but bay black and a lot of it. One of the better cria to date.

She is BVD tested negative, has received her CD&T vaccinations, AVID chipped, and ARI registered.

Georgia Meyer of Silver Creek Alpaca sorted and graded Wiyaka. She was impressed with her fleece and stated, "nice, uniform, most versatile for yarn, socks, and knitwear." She graded her WL-3 with 6 out of 10 brightness, 5 of 10 uniformity of crimp, 6 crimp / inch, medium amplitude with a density of 8 out of 10. She graded the fleece dark fawn.
