Melody has just about everything going for her. She is a full Peruvian true black female from outstanding lineage. She is the full sister to 2X true black champion Kodiak and the paternal sister to 6X fawn champion Lancaster.
Mel's bright black fleece is shiny and slick. Her conformation is excellent,and her bite is right on.
Mel is one of only a very few full Peruvain true black girls out of Conan. We happen to own two of them. We are willing to part with either Mel or Raven, but not both. This line is one we definitely want to keep in our own breeding program.
We just got her first histogram back. We weren't surprised. With the way she feels and her background genetics, you'd expect such fine, uniform fiber, even on a true black! Her 2009 historgram reads micron - 20.8, SD 4.1 and CV 19.6 - these are numbers to be proud of on a white alpaca and Melody is black!! Even better than this - Melody is keeping her fine, uniform fleece as she matures. We were thrilled when we received her latest Yocom-McColl results. Mel's 2010 micron results are AFD 21.5, SD 4.1, CV 19.1 and %>30 2.2.
We have bred Melody to our blue ribbon silver grey herdsire - Peruvian Silver Bullet. These two should produce a black or silver grey cria with great soft fleece next summer.
Mel is one gorgeous girl and she should have gorgeous cria.
UPDATE - and she has! Check out her very first cria, Ideuma Creek's Peruvian Clarice. We couldn't be happier. She's just beautiful!
Melody is one of our girls that had a positive first ultrasound, and then slipped her pregnancy. Her second ultrasound came up empty. We reluctantly left Mel open, but plan to breed her to Accoyo Stratosphere first thing this coming spring.
