Although we no longer have access to Cuzco for breeding we are leaving him in our active list of males because we still have several of his progeny on the ranch. He has had a profound positive influence on our breeding program. Would your breeding program benefit from the infusion of solid foundation genetics, fabulous fiber characteristics, and a great temperament? Cuzco's fiber is dense with significant crimp, great staple length, brightness and soft handle. Add a great temperament and you have a real nice package of desirable traits. OUTSTANDING AND LIMITED GENETICS: Cuzco is sired by AOBA International 2001 Color Champion Eastwinds Andino (818131) a Pachacuti son (both deceased) and out of Chaccuna, our 5Peruvian Chaccu (deceased 2011) daughter, and PPeruvian Vengador granddaughter. APPEALING PHENOTYPE: Cuzco's well-balanced conformation is correct with nice straight legs and solid bone. His fiber is dense with significant crimp, great staple length, and nice soft handle. CHECK HIS FIBER STATS: It isn't often that you see the fiber stats of a 9 year old breeding male emphasized but we think you will be impressed. AFD 23.4, SD 4.5, CV 18.6, SF 22.3 %>30 6.3 It is no wonder we turn to him to improve fineness and handle. PRODUCES COLOR when bred to color...so far 100% of the time. Cuzco's 2013 histogram for his white male cria Razzmatazz: AFD 16.8, SD 3.7, CV 21.8, %>30 0.6 CF: 99.4 TEMPERAMENT: We believe temperament is highly inheritable and we pay special attention to the temperament of the herdsires we use. Cuzco is very well-mannered and extremely easy to handle, even during breeding. We invite you to call (530-620-6033) for more information and to check out our web site (www.alpacasomersetfarm.com) to learn about the benefits of working with us on your alpaca purchases and breedings. We are flexible and will work with your individual needs.

We were looking for PPeruvian Victor genetics when we found and selected Blade for our breeding program. GENETICS: Blade's sire is Victor's Hemiaccoyo Viking making his grandsire the great PPeruvian Victor. The bonus with Blade are the color genes coming in from his dam's lineage. She is a true black. PHENOTYPE: Blade is a striking medium brown. His conformation is solid, straight, and compact. His face is nicely accented with black points on his ears and muzzle. His beautifully colored fleece displays very good handle, fineness, and density. TEMPERAMENT: We believe temperament is highly inheritable and place a big emphasis on it especially in the herdsires. Blade is quiet and easy to handle. PROOF IS IN PROGENY: We hear the phrase the "proof is in the progeny " so often that it may start sounding like a cliche however.....the histogram results are back on Blade Runner a TRUE BLACK and all we can say is WOW. "Runner" was sheared as a cria and these results are from the 2011 shear: AFD 19.6, SD 4.2, CV 21.5, %>30u 1.2. And this was from a girl sporting an AFD of 32.2. Blade's 2011 cria is a medium fawn full brother to Blade Runner. Marquee is carrying the same fiber characteristics of Blade Runner including great staple length. Blade's 2012 is a white male from our light fawn Faeteza of Somerset Farm. Tezzla's (aka Tazz) conformation is solid, straight, and compact. He is exceptionally dense with great staple length.
