Zepher is the full Peruvian half-Accoyo son of one of our best producing Sedoso's line females who we recently sold. We wanted to keep these genetics in our herd and were able to do so with this handsome Zeus son. We have watched this lovely North American male closely as he matured and decided that he was our next "Zeus" with his stunning high luster and extremely fine fiber. Though it is not easy to photograph this high luster, it is easily seen in the photo of him to the right as the lighting perfectly captured it. We were asked to do a histogram and are pleased to see confirmation that we headed the right direction in our breeding program. Zepher's correct conformation and very nice head top off his attractive presence. He possesses the same gentle and easy going attitude of his great sire. Zepher has begun his breeding career this fall and we anxiously look forward to his 2008 offspring. Now proudly co-owned with Weather'd T Ranch, Colorado!

Description

We got LGF Maxwell from Little Gidding Farm Suris in Minnesota. All you have to look at is the elite silken suri yarn LGF is producing from the grade 1 and 2 fleeces they are produding on their place to know Max is the kind of male that will definitely improve the fleeces in a person's herd. He's been used to improve theirs! His fiber stats are superb and those genetics come from a lineage of fine micron suri alpacas. Within 1 or 2 generations he has herdsires like ATV Zepher, Zeus Rose, and Snowmass Silken Gold and if you go to the very foundations of his pedigree, you will find the great imported herdsires Inca and Uribe. So, Max has the pedigree, he has the stats, he has the progeny, and when you add that to very good suri conformation, it's obvious that his genetics are the kind a person wants to add to one's herd. Get in touch with us and we'll work to add it to yours!! Age 3 fiber stats: AFD = 19.1 microns SD = 3.7 microns 1.0% > 30 microns for a CF of 99.0% WOW!! At age 31 months his biopsy came back with a density of 57.6 follicles per sq. mm. That density is well above average! The average fiber diameter of secondary fibers was 18.0 and for the primary fibers it was 20.4 for only a difference of 2.4 microns. The standard deviations of both of those average fiber diameters was 2.4 and 2.1 respectively. The handle on Maxwell is phenomenal with such little variation in his fiber diameters.
