Somerset Farm's Amazing Grace

Alpaca, Huacaya, Open (Female) | Light Fawn

AOA #35291961 | DOB: 6/10/2014 (10 yrs)

Sire: CF Cuzco

35291961<--ari-->White<--color-->Although we no longer have access to Cuzco for breeding we are leaving him in our active list of males because we still have several of his progeny on the ranch. He has had a profound positive influence on our breeding program. Would your breeding program benefit from the infusion of solid foundation genetics, fabulous fiber characteristics, and a great temperament? Cuzco's fiber is dense with significant crimp, great staple length, brightness and soft handle. Add a great temperament and you have a real nice package of desirable traits. OUTSTANDING AND LIMITED GENETICS: Cuzco is sired by AOBA International 2001 Color Champion Eastwinds Andino (818131) a Pachacuti son (both deceased) and out of Chaccuna, our 5Peruvian Chaccu (deceased 2011) daughter, and PPeruvian Vengador granddaughter. APPEALING PHENOTYPE: Cuzco's well-balanced conformation is correct with nice straight legs and solid bone. His fiber is dense with significant crimp, great staple length, and nice soft handle. CHECK HIS FIBER STATS: It isn't often that you see the fiber stats of a 9 year old breeding male emphasized but we think you will be impressed. AFD 23.4, SD 4.5, CV 18.6, SF 22.3 %>30 6.3 It is no wonder we turn to him to improve fineness and handle. PRODUCES COLOR when bred to color...so far 100% of the time. Cuzco's 2013 histogram for his white male cria Razzmatazz: AFD 16.8, SD 3.7, CV 21.8, %>30 0.6 CF: 99.4 TEMPERAMENT: We believe temperament is highly inheritable and we pay special attention to the temperament of the herdsires we use. Cuzco is very well-mannered and extremely easy to handle, even during breeding. We invite you to call (530-620-6033) for more information and to check out our web site (www.alpacasomersetfarm.com) to learn about the benefits of working with us on your alpaca purchases and breedings. We are flexible and will work with your individual needs. <--description-->

Description

Lingering fineness is a highly inheritable trait and Grace is loaded with the potential to add that trait to your breeding program. You owe it to yourself and your breeding program to take a look at what she is inheriting from her paternal grandmother Paradise Ridge Chaccuna. http://www.openherd.com/alpacas-for-sale/10707/paradise-ridge-chaccuna Chaccuna is a 5Peruvian Chaccu daughter and PPeruvian Vengador granddaughter. MEASURABLE FLEECE QUALITIES: This is where Chaccuna excels and what keeps her at the top of our Huacaya foundation female list. Talk about lingering fineness. At 12 years old her histogram results are note worthy: AFD 25.8, SD 4.9, CV 18.8 , SF 24.7, %>30 15. Then there are her EPD (Expected Progeny Differences) results as a 12 year old production female: Trait Value Acc Rank AFD -0.938 0.377 3080 of 27776 In the top 11% in expectation for improving fineness* SDAFD -0.33 0.376 1817 of 27776 In the top 7% in expectation for lowering micron* %F>30 -4.5 0.387 2265 of 27776 In the top 8% in expectation for improving uniformity* MC 2.551 0.376 1955 of 27776 In the top 7% in expectations to create higher frequency of crimp* %M -1.768 0.186 3131 of 27776 In the top 11% in the expectation to reduce overall fiber medullation* *than the breed average for all huacaya females and all colors Grace's sire is CF Cuzco. He is Chaccuna's first male cria and he is carrying those same lingering fineness genes. It isn't often that you see the fiber stats of a 9 year old breeding male emphasized but we think you will be impressed. AFD 23.4, SD 4.5, CV 18.6, SF 22.3 %>30 6.3 It is no wonder we turn to him to improve fineness and handle.
