He is now in the Top 1%, 2% and 4% To see his current EPD stats along with his current Histogram look to the right of this page, in the "Documents" section 2%, 3% and 4% EPDs for 2021 - Wow! Fantastic news, Taboo just won First Place in his class, Reserve Color Champion and an Advanced Fleece Award for a score of 82.5 all at the Calpaca Autumn Fleece Extravaganza 2022 but that's not all, he also won the Spirit of the Fiber Industry Award. This award is only given to fleece in the 3 years and older categories. It honors traits recognized as very valuable in long term breeding strategies. At the age of 1yr and 3mos Taboo was evaluated by Judge Cheryl Gehly. Under uniformity of micron she stated his primaries were medium/fine and his secondaries were fine. In confirmation he received top scores. We are very pleased with Taboo's Skin Biopsy Report Dated May 24, 2021 Secondary:Primary fiber ratio: 8.8:1 In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 21.1µ Standard Deviation: 2.5µ Range: 15.5 µ to 24.6 µ In-skin mean secondary fiber diameter: 20.6µ Standard Deviation: 2.9 µ Range: 14.0 µ to 28.2 µ *Comments from Ian Watt "The two fiber populations show excellent uniformity and, in my opinion, AFD numbers that are near perfect for the production of sought-after commercially valuable fleece.” You can see Taboo's graph from the biopsy in the pictures that are provided. *Comments from Judge Wade Gease at the TXOLAN Sweetheart Spectacular 2022 Fleece Show "Holding exceptional fineness and uniformity for age" *Comments from Judge Amanda VandenBosch at the AOA National Show 2022 "For his age holding fineness and uniformity across the entire body." *Comments from Judge Beverly Brehm at the Calpaca Autumn Fleece Extravaganza 2022 "Beautifully consistent in micron across the blanket for age, Wow! Great Job!" Taboo also received an Advanced Fleece Award with a score of 82.5 *Comments from Judge Sharon Loner at the ABR Fall Festival 2022 "Beautiful fleece for age.

Taboo also received an Advanced Fleece Award with a score of 82 Taboo is a handsome and easy to handle, proud male with a calm disposition, solid confirmation on a square frame, correct bite and excellent fiber coverage from head to toe. Taboo is now proven and has produced 3 gorgeous crias, a light fawn male, a medium brown male and a beige female. We are very pleased with all 3 of his offspring and can not wait to put him back to work.

Genotype - Ee Aa1 Don't disregard the older females for breeding. If your lucky, you can find a gem like we did with Sasha. In 1 year of growth this girl had a blanket weight of 6.65 pounds and a total shear weight of 12.15 pounds at 11 years of age in 2020. In 2021 at the age of 12 years old, with shorter staple length and only 11 months of growth she still produced a blanket weight of 5.45 pounds and a total shear weight of 10.10 pounds. That is extreme density for a girl of her age. She is a well proportioned, strong boned female, with a square frame, correct bite, solid color throughout and excellent coverage. Sasha delivered a beautiful beige female cria (Chai Chai) May 15, 2022 out of our Herdsire Daylight Taboo. Sasha is a very friendly alpaca with a pleasant attitude. She loves carrots and will eat right out of your hand. She is an excellent mom to her cria. Sasha would be a great choice for someone who is just starting out in alpacas or looking for a gentle companion. We are very happy with the cria that Sasha and Taboo produced and decided to breed them again. Looking forward to another cria in September 2023. Sasha delivered a beautiful medium fawn female cria September 23, 2023 out of Daylight Taboo.
