Yazhi's first cria was a beautiful bay black male - Black Ball, sired by Reflection.
Yazhi's second cria is a crimpy bay black female - Peace, sired by Khan. This cria has great fibre. She is also probably the most independent cria we have ever had.
For 2017 Yazhi was bred to our up and coming herdsire - Truly Blessed Eh! This was TB's first breeding and they produced a lovely bay black female - Tynata.
Yazhi seems to pick the cria's colour, her 2018 male cria is another beautiful bay black named Cooper., sired by our terrific silver grey herdsire Amirror.
Yazhi's final cria is a very sweet little fellow, Jack. He was very tiny when born, went blind in his right eye within 24 hours of birth, by 2 weeks old it had to be surgically removed. Jack is a sweetheart, he has no trouble following the herds.
Yazhi is a very special alpaca and probably Carolyn's favourite female alpaca. Until she was bred Yazhi was the first alpaca to greet our farm visitors. She is still extremely calm and laid back, nothing seems to bother her. We have taken Yazhi to visit local nursing homes; the residents were just delighted with her. Yazhi was often stubborn about leaving as she loved the attention. She has also attended Reading Club at two local libraries and the Flesherton Farmer's Market. We hope she passes on this personality to her crias. Now Yazhi is content to stay at home with the other moms.
Yazhi's black fibre is very dense and very soft. Her cria fleece was wavy, her second fleece had a much more defined crimp to it.
Yazhi means "little one" in Navajo, she weighed 15.4 lbs at birth, the smallest of our crias that year. She is still a bit smaller than the others.
