"Marky" is covered nose to toes with "lingering" worsted quality fleece...overall uniform, ultra royal 14.5 micron fleece and nicely dense with zipper crimp from his forehead down his tail. His third fleece is one of the best on the farm and triple bundled...big bundles made up of several smaller bundles which are then made up of micro-bundles and it's difficult to distinguish the primaries among the secondaries. He has a smaller build and is lighter boned...common for very fine fleeced alpacas. We didn't take him to the shows because his cria fleece developed character slowly (like his dam), then his second fleece was too tender and his third fleece had a color change right in the middle of the staple from nearly black back to maroon. It's ok...we are now looking forward to finding out his ability to pass on his best to his future crias.
Marquis and his full sis, Faith, have a full Peruvian pedigree that consists mostly of alpacas from the final and most stringent importations as well as the famous Alianza sire, P. Bueno. So, except for Bueno and Casanova, they are unrelated to most bloodlines. They are unrelated to all Accoyos and Hemingway.
