Zombie Rockstar has been a favorite on the farm since the day he was born. His lovely fleece was such a surprise with its' softness and beginnings of real structure at a very tender age. His maternal and paternal lines are known for softness of handle and lingering fineness. These are two very important characteristics to us and our program. How delighted we are to see them both exhibited so nicely in this junior herdsire. To illustrate where he is maturing to with these desirable fleece traits, here are a few scores from his 33.8 month fleece when it competed in 2015 at the Royal Alpaca Challenge and took a 1st Place win (Judge Kathy Klay): Fineness and Handle 17 (out of 20) Uniformity: Micron 7 (out of 8) Length 6.5 (out of 7) Color 4.5 (out of 5) Z has competed and bannered in both Gray and Indefinite Dark. We believe he is actually Dark Rose Gray as I believe you would see if you were holding a skein of his wonderful yarn. Judges are often impressed with his "topknot to tail" consistency and make mention of this in oral remarks. He also gathers praise for his size, substance of bone, fleece coverage and overall conformation. Our boy is easy to handle and has a gentlemanly way with the ladies thus far. He is indeed the entire package! Zombie's first cria has arrived and he did not disappoint! Z Rock's Carlos is a true black one to watch. His juvi fleece placed 5th at the National fiber Extravaganza this past July. We are showing him in halter and fleece at the Carolina Celebration Feb 2019 and in fleece at TXLON also in Feb 2019. Zombie is bred to Carlos's dam for a repeat of that successful pairing. She is Due in May 2019. He is also bred to our best gray producer for a cria that promises to be something very special in May of 2019!
