Porterbray's Chino

Chino is a National Blue Ribbon winning blend of quality Chilean and Peruvian bloodlines. Chino's father, Polaris, was a Blue Ribbon winner at CABA 1999. Polaris' sire is the legendary Hemingway and his dam is Ppperuvian Impatiens who won Produce of Dam at CABA 2000. Chino's own dam Mia, was originally from Alpacas de la Patagonia and was chosen for her exceptionally strong, straight conformation and her glossy blue-black fleece. His dam Mia's sire is MacIntosh. Macintosh, (owned by Pacific Crest Alpacas) is well known for winning 5 first place ribbons in the 1996 AOBA National Fleece Show, including Black Huacaya 1st Place, Best Luster, Spinner's choice and Cottage Industry's Choice. rnrnChino's dense fiber is cobweb fine with an unbelievable micron count of 14.4 (YES, I REALLY said 14.4!!!) and a CF of 100% and this is all from his second shearing at over 1 and a half years old! He has coverage from his toes up to that cute fuzzy face and also has nice vicuna style crimp all the way up into his top knot and his fiber even has great bundling! Just when you think his fiber can't get much better...it DOES! Part his fleece and you can see wonderful brightness which helps add to his very luxurious feel. Chino is "refining" our fleeces with his exceptional vicuna style fineness! He is throwing phenotype in addition to the wonderful fiber to give you ADORABLE AND fine cria!rnChino's cria are rich with beautiful color, with cria from light fawn to brown, maroon, to even silver grey! No matter the color, he is stamping all of his cria with crimpy, fine and bright fiber! Chino is the hidden treasure here at Alagaesia! We wouldn't give him up for the world but are willing to share these awesome qualities with you and your herd.rnrnWe have discounted Chino's stud fee again this year to help our fellow alpaca farms out (and CHINO too!). His stud service this spring is only $1,000 and this includes either your girl staying here for 2 months, or we will bring Chino to your farm within 250 miles from our farm, so your girl can stay in her own familiar setting. Distances greater than 250 miles are still possible for an additional 50 cents/mile.rnrn
