Ranchers choose breeding partners carefully to maintain the quality level of the U.S. herd. They pick sires based on several factors, including conformation and color.

Yeah but did you know, alpaca genetics are not completely understood, and virtually any color in either the sire or the dam's lineage can show up in a cria.

In fact - Two black alpacas, one of the more prized colors, produce a black cria 75 percent of the time. The other colors are not that predictable.
