Fernando is a heavily fleeced male who is so fine that he felted at less than three months old.

Fernando's sire, as of his 9th shearing considering his compact stature, it is amazing that Zacheo is still in the top 2% for heavy fleece weight considering he is in the top 19% for fineness, top 3% for long staple length, top 19% for lack of medulated fiber, top 25% for fiber >30M and for spin fineness. He has outstanding genetics with Dionysus as his sire, Ppperuvian Mr. President as his grandsire and 4Peruvian Presidente as his greatgrandsire on his father's side. On Dionysus' mother's side he has Peruvian Hemingway as his great grandsire.

Fernando's mother, Juliana is still a finer micron at her age than the national herd and ranks in the top 16% for fleece weight and lack of medullation! Her grandsire on her mother's side is Microsoft and Camilio as her great grandsire. On the her father's side she has Hemingway as her grandsire.

Whether you are interested in purchasing high quality alpacas for breeding, show, fiber or selecting a herd sire to breed to, you should use Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) as your most important selection tool in addition to evaluating phenotype and genetics. Our herd has some of the highest EPD accuracy ratings due to breeding some of the best genetics and due to the shear number of these genetics in the EPD database. Consequently you can also increase the probability of creating ideal offspring with up to 95% accuracy. Contact us to learn more about using EPDs. We have been using them to improve our herd since 2008.
