Description
Desdemona has been genetically tested at Neogen Laboratories and confirmed as Classic Grey, although her phenotype does not display white fibre on the neck to show in the classic grey class, she has had a hugely successful show career and has won multiple Modern Grey Championships. As her genotype is classic grey, she will produce classic grey or solid Cria.
Desdemona stands on an incredibly strong frame with a fine and lustrous fleece. Desdemona's Dam is from Thistledown Alpacas in New Zealand where Molly's animals are well recognised for their consistency of micron and this trait has been passed along into Desdemona and is often commented on by UK judges.
Desdemona has been mated
Winsaula Alpacas were awarded 2025 Best Alpaca Breeder in the medium size farm category at the British Alpaca Society National Show. We have bred multiple Supreme Champions and Judges Choice awards. Winsaula Alpacas have been breeding since 2014 and we offer a lifetime of support and a 7 day live Cria guarantee for stud matings.
