Fortunato's Serena
This is one incredible Bravado daughter! Her conformation is amazing with a very nice fleece. She has a very long staple length and a beautiful head. She is beige to light fawn in color and she has the sweet personality that we love so much about her mom.(Sweet Sadie)
Champion is in his blood. Maple Brook Bravado is a blue ribbon, color champion-winning son of the infamous Bueno, and a grandson of the legendary Hemingway. Both of these males in his pedigree have contributed immeasurably to the North American alpaca herd and Bravado is now doing his part to live up to his famous lineage.
