With the start of the Spring 2016 show season I can see a marked improvement not only conformationally but also in the amount of fiber this guy is carrying. Lock structure all the way to the skin and maintaining a large number of fibers in those locks with fineness to boot. As he matures he gets better. Handilock captured his first banner this Spring at the Southern Select Show in TN. Nationals will be his last show as a Juvie. At 2016 Mapaca Jubilee Handilock captured has 2nd banner in his second show as a yearling. He is carrying a ton on fiber on his compact frame and the luster is amazing. After the 2016 spring show season we decided to have him shorn and let him put some energy into developing a stronger physical build. Hence we have entered his fleece in numerous fleece shows and so far all 1st Places and won his first fleece championship at the Carolina Alpaca Celebration 2017. His regrowth is amazing and we are pleased with how his is filling out to be a future herdsire we all seek to have on our farm.
