Her 2011 fiber sort showed 7 out of 10 for brightness, 7 out of 10 for density and 9 out of 10 for uniformity of crimp with a low amplitude and high frequency of 10-11 per inch. She has 45.5 HW grade 1 & 2 in her blanket and 11.4 of WL grade 1 & 2 in her neck.

Whether you are interested in purchasing high quality alpacas for breeding, show, fiber or selecting a herd sire to breed to, you should use Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) as your most important selection tool in addition to evaluating phenotype. You can also increase the probability of creating ideal offspring with up to 95% accuracy. Contact us to learn more about using EPDs. We have been using them to improve our herd since 2008.

Fernando is a heavily fleeced male who is so fine that he felted at less than three months old.
Fernando's sire, as of his 11th shearing considering his compact stature, it is amazing that Zacheo is still in the top 2% for heavy fleece weight considering he is in the top 19% for fineness, top 3% for long staple length, top 19% for lack of medulated fiber, top 25% for fiber >30M and for spin fineness. He has outstanding genetics with Dionysus as his sire, Ppperuvian Mr. President as his grandsire and 4Peruvian Presidente as his greatgrandsire on his father's side. On Dionysus' mother's side he has Peruvian Hemingway as his great grandsire.
