At Sixth Day Farm, we have studied and applied the science of inheritence - genetics - to the acheivement of our goals: a herd of white alpacas that produce abundant quanitites of high textile value fiber: fine, uniform, bright, and with a silk-like feel.
In addition to tools like genetic indexes or 'EPD's', skin biopsy evaluation, and histograms, we have also studied and learned from the great breeders who created breeds and significant strains within their chosen breeds.
One tool widely used by plant and animal breeders whenever and wherever selective breeding was practiced is the crossing of related individuals, through linebreeding, or even inbreeding. We will not attempt to persuade those who are not comfortable with these breeding systems, but are confident that these carefully bred animals will prove the wisdom of this approach.
The pedigree of Hannah's 2011 cria will have three crosses to Hemingway, AND three crosses to PPeruvian Macarena. This pedigree is designed to concentrate the genetic influence of those two great individuals, while diluting the relative influence of each of their progeny - all full brothers - that appear in this pedigree: NWA,Ltd Predictor; NWA,Ltd Handsome, and NWA,Ltd Hektor.
It takes years of work to put together a pedigree like this, and we are confident that the results will be worth it!
Cria at side - WH male born 5/18/2010, by Maple Brook Bolero.
Bolero was a complete outcross for Hannah, but still 'doubling up' on the fine, DENSE, crimpy, fleeces we like - fleeces with lasting fineness.
