Precious is so named to express her beauty and elegance. She has the most incredible fleece we have ever seen. When she was a baby, all we wanted to do is hold and cuddle her, but her mother, Stardust, would not have it. So we used to creep down and stare at her precious little body and try and touch her fabulous fleece. To this day, she continues to amaze us with her beauty and excellent confirmation. Her bright, white fleece is silky, buttery soft, fine and very, very dense with lots of crimp. She has excellent bone structure. Whenever she goes into the ring, she continuously wins a ribbon. The judges always tell us what a very nice alpaca she is. At the auction, the announcer told the audience that all breeders should strive to produce fleece like Precious. She has made us proud. Precious is conformationally correct due to his impressive lineage. Her sire, Peruvian Titan’s Clash. and her dam, Invincibe Brookhollow Star-Dust. Her lineage also includes: PPPeruvian Dracula, Snowmass Legacy Gold, and Peruvian Hemmingway. Her 2011 histogram is: AFD 16.0; SD 2.5; CV 15.9%; %>30U = 0.6%
