The fall of 2003 brought 3 gorgeous babies from outside breedings. The final one to be born was Autumn Hill's Catalina.

Catalina was the offspring of SHAG Cattera and PPF King's Ransom. She definitely continued Cattera's streak of throwing predominately white babies. I believe that my grandmother was the one to find Catalina after she was born...it was common for her to come check on the "due" moms while the rest of us were at school or work.

Catalina was a little out-shined by her more colorful friends, but overall she was a very nice little girl. I really wish I would've shown her in halter more, she was very correct. I took her to 1 show in Ohio as a weanling, she was 1st in halter and showmanship. Like her mom she had a sweet personality, and amazing fiber like her dad.

 |
| Such a pretty girl! |

 |
| Terrible haircut, but her fiber was so fine it was almost impossible to shear with the clippers! |
After spending the first couple years of her life as a pasture ornament and fiber producer, she was eventually sold to a big alpaca farm in Ohio (where Charity, Blaze, and Faith all ended up as well). She ended up being bred, and had a cute little male cria a few years ago.
