Mr Alejandro is truly something special. He is ultra fine in black and retaining the numbers through the years. At 5 years of age, he is still producing fleece as fine as the juveniles. He is consistent both in the staple and across the blanket, down the hip, and up into the neck. Alejandro has a true macho look to him with loads of fleece packed all over his frame. This fleece is possibly the brights black fleece I have come across. Alejandro has extensive black and grey genetics that make him perfect for a dark breeding program. Alejandro's cria have started to hit the ground and they are stellar! After his first three cria, both Penny and I decided to breed most of our herd to Alejandro. In the 2017 breeding year, Alejandro will be bred to approximately 80% of the females on our farm. We have access to a lot of solid studs but truly believe in what Alejandro can do! Alejandro's first histogram at 8 1/2 months old is AFD 16.6 SD 3.5 CV 20 % OVER 30 0.6.....I was thrilled to see this kind of fineness and consistency in a black fleece. Co-owned with Penny Holbrook of Black Hill's Alpacas.

Charmaine is exactly what we look for in a breeding female. She has excellent fineness and uniformity between the primary and secondary fibers within the staple. Her uniformity continues across the blanket from hip to shoulder. She has good density and a strong frame that will no doubt carry healthy cria for many years. The most exciting quality about Charmaine may be her heritage. She carries strong fleece traits of light fleeces from her sire, Bandimere, and a long line of color from her dam, Dahlia. We bred her to our premier black stud, Alejandro. We are excited to see where this goes!
