Meet Our Girls
perfectly pippa
Pippa is a beautiful female, full of spunk, energy and fun - Pippa truly fills the farm with smiles and laughter! Since our approach with our animals is very “hands on”, Pippa shows no fear of humans and is incredibly friendly. Pippa loves to give hugs to her friends and will stand right next to you for a good scratch! Her fleece is fantastic with its saturated “true black” color, crimp, style, and softness. Just like Padma, Pippa has excellent, balanced conformation and fleece that gives total coverage from her nose all the way down to her toes. A consistent blue ribbon winner at her first shows, judges comments include “beautifully balanced proportions”, “brightness consistent throughout her blanket”, “terrific coverage combined with a soft handle throughout”, “great capacity and feminine style”, “long staple combined with consistency across the blanket and soft handle across her frame”. Pippa is adored by all of Meadowgate and gave us her first cria, a gorgeous true black female out of Amber Autumn Titus! A terrific mum, Pippa’s Perfectly Velvet has all the makings of an excellent show girl like her mother.

lily
Lily is a beautiful member of our farm! She is extremely photogenic and a watchful eye for the herd. Lily is well-liked by her surrounding alpacas, but can also be an independent leader for the group (especially when it is time to explore a new field). Her fiber quality has a high degree of density and consistent fineness from top to bottom, with lovely brightness, a long staple length, and a low micron count. Her conformation is also truly exceptional, as she exhibits a very feminine style. Lily has rewarded us with two cria: Rory (female) and Hudson (male). Bred to 9X Champion, Hilltop Hideaway’s Reload (aka Hollywood), we are super excited about this baby due in the fall 2026!

MGT’s Keeley

maybelle
Belle is a new addition to our program here at Meadowgate and we are thrilled with what we see so far. Beautiful black fiber on a solid frame, Belle has consistent and bright coverage throughout her blanket with dense coverage all the way down to her toes. Originating from powerful genetics, Belle should be a terrific addition to our breeding program. Until then, it is a joy to have her friendly, bright personality on the farm! Belle’s first cria was an adorable female cria who weighed in at 18.6 pounds at birth! An exceptional first time mum, she is a natural and we are super proud of her. Belle’s latest Fall 2024 cria, out of Titus, is a strong male with stunning fiber. He weighed in at 18 pounds as well and its already clear he will be part of our show string. Belle is now due for a 2026 cria out of our Smoke N Guns Reload aka Hollywood, who is a 9x champion. We’re very excited about this pairing and can’t wait to see the results.

Legacy
This little lady is growing up to be one fun, eye-catching girl! Her unusual markings are noticed by every farm visitor and Legacy is getting more familiar with greeting new people on the farm. We are looking forward to watching her grow and develop, with hopes that she will be a foundation member of our herd! Legacy gave us her first cria, a gorgeous female, with beautiful markings on her head, throat and legs. Dark brown like her mom, Keeley is proving to be strong and correct conformationally, with excellent fiber qualities and a sweet, curious disposition!

Sasha arrived on our farm in 2022 and we are so pleased with her in every way. An exceptional mum with great genetics and fiber; plus, she has the sweetest disposition! She is making waves as part of our agritourism program and proves to be one of the most patient alpacas for photography on the farm!

Wyllow arrived on our farm spring of 2023 and we are excited about her fiber as part of our program. A successful show career has us thinking hard about her career on the farm. In the meantime, she’s sharing a barn with 2 other females who are due this fall - experienced mums who can show her the ropes!

cersei queen
Cersei comes from a solid line of genetics, which is reflected in her fiber and her correct frame. Incredibly calm and easy to handle, she has gorgeous fleece with excellent bundling and structure throughout her blanket. Cersei will be joining our maternity team this spring - stay tuned for an exceptional spring 2026 cria! Update 2026: Cersei delivered a handsome light fawn male cria - the largest our farm has put on the ground at 20 pounds! He’s got excellent fiber qualities with lots of character and definition. Plus, he’s super chill and very sweet like his mum!

In Memoriam
scotch brite
February 12, 2020
Highs and lows are part of running a farm but it never gets easier. This morning, Meadowgate sadly said goodbye to one of our favorite female alpacas, Scotch Brite. Although she had the best medical care, she had stomach cancer that we just couldn't treat. Brave to the end, Scotch was also lovely, independent, smart, gentle, tough, easy to get along with and never any trouble. She was also the best Mom and terrific to all of the babies. If you ever visited the nursery here, you met Scotch. Scotch had a way of staring right into your soul and had definitely picked Nicole as her “person.” Our alpacas are part of our family and we will miss her terribly.
Killi-Ann
May 24, 2020
Today, Meadowgate said goodbye to one of the most peaceful animals on our farm. Killi-Ann was sweet, tough, gentle and accommodating right up to the end and left this world surrounded by our family’s love. She adored children, was easy to get along with, and would stand for a hug all day long. Products made with Killi’s fleece were always the first to sell because of the shine and softness. Killi-Ann was a farm favorite, having posed for countless selfies and photographs with visitors, but she was our personal family favorite too. Our lives were enriched by our time with her and her presence is missed on the farm every day.
brownie
August 21, 2021
Brownie was one of the sweetest members of our herd who adored being the center of attention. She was also one of the softest alpacas we have had on the farm and one of our biggest personalities. Everyone who visited the farm, both returning and new visitors, couldn’t help but smile at Brownie’s curiosity and nudges for a hug. She was always the first to greet visitors, and the last to leave. The anchor of our Alpaca Therapy Program and the one who helped us to begin it in 2018, Brownie never failed to combine her fearlessness with curiosity to enchant and bring joy to people everywhere. Sweet Brownie was such a big part of our daily interaction on the farm and her presence helped shape our mission. We are better off having known and loved her; our farm family will miss her very much.
Deborah
March 28, 2024
Deborah was our herd protector here at Meadowgate. She was always on the lookout for anything unusual and was the first to alert her group. She was an outstanding mother; patient, protective, loving, and gentle. The babies ADORED her! A farm favorite, Deborah would stand all day for a neck rub.
mary leigh
"Wow" is all we could say about Mary Leigh. Gorgeous black fiber that ran all the way down to her toes on a balanced and feminine frame; she was the total package. Mary Leigh's beautiful eyes demonstrated her sweet and laid-back disposition, so she was also a treat to have on the farm.
Sidra
Anyone who has ever been to the farm knows Sidra. She consistently made our family and farm visitors laugh with her mellow disposition. Sidra loved a good nap and could so often be found catching some "down" time in the fields - she always loved to take it easy and relax. The star of our Holiday Open Farm events was often Sidra; she loved to wear holiday gear and take family photos with visitors all day long. We all miss Sidra’s calming, funny spirit every day; she was a founding staple of our farm and family that will always be remembered.
