In today’s agritourism world, temperament matters just as much as fleece quality—and that’s where Graceland truly shines. She is one of those rare alpacas whose personality is every bit as exceptional as her genetics. What makes her even more remarkable is that she passes that temperament on. Her most recent cria sold at just two months old because of his gentle, people-loving nature—perfect for a family farm. Grace is our go-to alpaca for weddings, farm tours, and public events. She is calm, confident, and genuinely enjoys people. Her daughter, Joy, inherited the same temperament, so when we’re hired for weddings, it’s always mother and daughter who represent our ranch. And the best part? They’re not just sweet—they’re beautifully alpacas with elite fleece traits. In a world where farms increasingly value animals for both temperament and beauty, Grace checks every box. From the day she was born, Grace stood out. Her fleece was dense to the touch at one day old, with curls upon curls. She quickly became our ranch ambassador—the alpaca who greets visitors, stands for pets, and trots to the front of the treat line with confidence and charm. She is that rare alpaca who genuinely loves people, and people love her right back. But Grace isn’t just personality—she has the genetics to match. Her phenotype is spot-on for the breed standard, and her fleece is what you would expect with her genetics and EPDs. She competed at Nationals in both walking fleece and halter as a white yearling, earning a 3rd in Walking Fleece and 6th in Halter in extremely competitive classes. Judges praised her for her high uniformity, fineness, density, coverage, and her long, “spaghetti-like” staples. Grace a proven dam, still hold an AFD of 20 at age 4 and two pregnancies. Grace is sired by Silver Rose Overture and out of Tempi, our last remaining daughter of Hemingway’s Bogart. The pairing was so successful that we plan to repeat it. Her EPDs are exactly where a breeder wants them—all between 1% and 15%, with most in the top ranges. She ranks in the top 1% for fleece weight, reinforcing our focus on density. Her staple length EPD, at 37%, is still better than most alpacas in the national herd. Graceland is the complete package: Elite temperament ideal for agritourism, weddings, and public interaction Breed-standard phenotype Exceptional fleece quality with proven show results Top-tier EPDs A proven producer of gentle, beautiful crias She is, without question, an ideal foundation dam—the kind who elevates a herd not just through genetics, but through the kind of temperament that makes alpacas unforgettable.
