As many of you already know, we name all of our crias after artists. And this year, we've tweeked the definition of artist just a little.
We've decided to name our two alpacas after the couple who taught us the "art of extreme recreating"...our friends, Dick & Bettie Spencer.
You'll notice that we're not using the names Dick & Bettie, but instead, have used Dick's middle name, Truman; and Bettie's alter ego, Amber. We made this decision partially in honor of Bettie's 80th birthday this year, but mostly because they have meant so much to us.
They are great friends, and we were lucky enough to get two great little crias this year...Amber and Truman. |

Lavender Fields' Amber
Sire: High Plains Aviator (Super Sam, Javier)
Dam: Lavender Fields' Emily (Castano Bay, Axtion Jaxon)
Date: July 4, 2011
Amber is a beautiful little girl who has qualities from both sides of the family. She is black from her great grandfather, Axtion Jaxon. And she gets the structure and fiber from the Aviator side of the family. Just as Emily's dam has done with Aviator, Emily and "Flyboy" have created a wonderful little girl who will make us proud.
This picture was taken shortly after she endulged in one of her first 'dust baths'. But, make no mistake, she is black. Not the first black cria that Aviator has sired. And if she's any indication, Emily should be having many more wonderful crias just like her.

Lavender Fields' Truman
Sire: Collin's Princeton (CND Accoyo Bizcocho)
Dam: Lavender Fields' Kiri T Jaxon (Axtion Jaxon)
Date: August 22, 2011
Once again, Axtion Jaxon has shown through a pairing that might have generated a color other than black. Princeton, a DRG and Kiri, a TB, have produced a True Black little boy who's got spunk and fire.
Kiri, AJ's first cria, has produced a wonderful little guy who looks to be bringing another set of great qualities to the Lavender Fields' herd. He's inquisitive and lively, and is a terrific asset to our group of males.
We'd like to show him off to you, so give us a call and we'll make arrangements to have you meet Truman and Amber.
