Welcome to Little Brook Suris!

The Unforgettable Winter 2009-2010

 

The simple beginnings for Little Brook Suris goes back to a "love at first sight" moment for Wendy when seeing her first suri alpaca--a true black herdsire, with soft, lustrous locks, big black eyes, and a serious alpha male attitude!  The rest is history...

We are nestled in central Virginia in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.  Our suri alpaca farm provides a wonderful lifestyle change that allows full family involvement. Our three children are involved in all the activities for handling, breeding, care and maintenance of these fascinating animals.

We invite you to visit, see, touch and learn about suri alpacas. They truly bring a peace and calm to our lives, and are a wonderful lifestyle investment!

At Little Brook Suris we have chosen to breed American Suri Alpacas.  We have genetic lines from Peru, Chile and Bolivia.  We have Alpacas who decend from well known South American farms like Accoyo, Alianza, Huaripina and Nunoa.  There are a few full-blooded animals on our farm but most are a mix from different countries and farms.  Our farm is a melting-pot for Suri genetics.  We carefully select and breed by genetic traits and strive to produce superior American Suri Alpacas with each new generation.

Take your time and explore the rest of our site to see why we think alpacas are great livestock to breed and raise.

Alpaca Cria News:

Our 2010 additions to the farm are:

Dublin- he was born March 17th.  That's right, St. Patty's Day, so we had to give him an Irish name.

Duke- he was born April 11th.  We were sure he would be a tuxedo gray but we got a true black surprise.

We have 6 more due this fall.

Here's a quick list of this years couples:

Dublin - Sire: Aggamemnon / Dam: Foxy Roxy

Duke - Sire: Pure Platinum / Dam: Sterling

#3 - Sire: Pure Platinum / Dam: Spice

The first three will 'hopefully' continue (and improve) the silver grey tuxedo line.  If we can get Spice's luster with Pure Platinum's pattern we will be very happy.

#4 - Sire: Fresh Prince / Dam: Persephone

#5 - Sire: Fresh Prince / Dam: Mirada

#6 - Sire: Fresh Prince / Dam: Ashanti

Prince is our original Stud and we are excited about these 3 breedings.  #4 should be similar to Arizona - a product of the same pair.  We really like Arizona and want to see if prince will continue to throw pattern cria.  If we get a pattern (black/white) from Ashanti we'll flip out.  Mirada is a shot in the dark.  She is a roan grey and Prince has grey in his background genetics so it may be the biggest surprize of all.

#7 - Sire: Captain Morgan / Dam: Shenandoah

#8 - Sire: Captain Morgan / Dam: Chilly Brooke

The last 2 will hopefully be outstanding.  Captain Morgan is a well-known Stud and we had a chance to breed some girls with him so we did.  One of our other girls, Spice, is registered as 'AVS Captain's Spiced Girl' that's right she's his daughter and she has fantastic luster.  We usually wish for females but in this case a male would be nice too.

Last year 80% of our cria were female.  We're keeping our fingers crossed for this year's new arrivals.  Hoping all are born healthy and mothers have no complications.

It's all about......
