When you look across the pasture, Melody is one that will catch your eye. She's the perfect package of beauty and pedigree all rolled into one exquisite female. Her conformation is wonderfully proportioned--she is graceful and beautifully square, with strong straight legs and back. Melody is perfectly balanced and has a proper bite.

We truly love Melody's rich, brown fiber and are impressed with its fineness and architecture. Melody's second shear reflects that fineness by her histogram showing an average fiber diameter of 21.5. Very, very soft for an alpaca with darker color at second shear.

Melody's sire is Mr. Roosevelt, a Medium Rose Gray male said to be one of the finest breeding gray males in the country. Mr. Roosevelt has sired numerous Champion offspring, and stands as the cornerstone of Crescent Moon Ranch's gray and black breeding program. On her dam's side stands Ppperuvian Royal Fawn, a legend in his own time as the only light fawn male exported from Don Julio Barreda's Accoyo herd.

We believe that Melody would be an outstanding breeding female for anyone looking to add color, fineness, correct conformation/bite, gray genetics and a power-packed pedigree to further their breeding goals. Melody gave birth to a lovely female, Rhapsody, on May 31, 2011 and the above price includes this stunning cria. Rhapsody was sired by Crescent Moon's Icon, our multi-award winning Legacy son, and she embodies all that we had hoped for in the breeding--color, softness, density and brightness of fleece along with a knockout pedigree.

Call or email the Alpaca Hacienda to arrange a visit to meet Crescent Moon's Melody and her new daughter, Rhapsody. Let them begin or improve your breeding program for the price of a song!

(Rhapsody may be purchased separately--$2,500 now, or $3,500 at weaning age.)
