Circle Cliff's Melvin has the most beautiful, sought-after silver that you could imagine. Everyone that sees and feeds him comments and goes "ga ga" over him. He has the cutest personality as well!
Melvin's muzzle is the desired shorter kind, and dark, which is a sought-after trait with alpacas. Our Geoffrey has thrown alpacas with this shorter muzzle, and we love it!
Although somewhat cautious, he is very curious and loves to run around, explore, and eat his hay and grain. He'll take carrots and grain from our hands and mouths. He's in with the other teens and has established himself rather quickly.
We have been working on halter training, and see great potential with him. With his color, confirmation and personality, this boy will indeed be a great future herdsire, like his daddy, Geoffrey.
Melvin's first fleece is back from the mill and is in worsted skeins of 200 yard lengths. His will sell quickly, no doubt, as silver is the sought-after in alpaca yarn.
Note: Melvin will have his "first" opportunities of breeding this summer, even though he's a few months short of two years old. He's definitely interested and we believe he'll be able!
Sale price: $6,900
Introductory breeding: $500
As he's not proven yet -- this is his year to begin.
He is MOANING to show his interest. He is definitely interested, like his daddy Geoffrey. His coloring is unlike any alpaca I've seen and we CANNOT wait to put him to work.
