Carrouges, a young male from the KerLA breeding farm.
> A word from Christel, breeder of Alpacas from KerLa (53):
“A very handsome male with high-level American and English genetics. CARROUGES arrived at the KerLA farm at the age of 1, along with his half-brother TORNADO, and immediately became one of my favorites with his exceptional character: proud, self-assured, yet kind, excessively easy to handle, a dream. Once he became a breeder at the age of 3, always the first at the gate to go see the girls, plunging his nose into the halter himself to save time! Comfortable everywhere, I always included him in walks during workshops; I knew that even a beginner would have no problem walking him on a leash safely. Moreover, Carrouges finally left in June 2021 to the East for a friend's farm that organizes educational visits, walks, and mediates with a varied audience: he excels in this role and quickly became a pillar of these welcoming activities, all while continuing his work as a breeder! I miss him, but I regularly receive updates, and this year I had 2 crias from him: 2 superb young males (a light fawn and a bay black). I also know that I could take him back here in the years to come if I want more crias from him.”
