The last thing I felt we needed was another herdsire. I am very
proud of our machos and the fineness they bring to our breeding
program. Then we visited a Farm and Sue met
David, who was only 3 months old. At first I thought she was only
smitten by his people friendly attitude and obvious beauty. I was
still not sold on getting another male even after I checked out his
fleece which was unlike anything we had ever felt or seen before,
especially on such a young boy. We decided his fawn from black
genetics fit our breeding program so the long wait for David's
prodigy began. David has
grown to a most impressive Elite type male as his fiber statistics
prove. Although David took a blue ribbon I'm not one for trusting the show ring to "qualify" the quality
of an alpaca, I know I can believe Dr. Norm Evans' analysis that
David is in the TOP 1% of alpacas! Dr. Evans reports: "David shows
a density of 71.5 follicles SQMM of skin with an S/P on 25
clusters of 12 To 1. as seen on S/P scan his clusters are very
tight and symmetrical in shape. The 250x scan indicates about 50% of
his secondary fibers are medullated and that he has awesome level
4 glands. One hundred secondary fibers average 21.5 microns
while 50 primary fibers average 30.5 microns for a variation of 7
microns. These stats are strong and place him in the the top 1%
of males tested." Don't take our word or a judges word, you have to see
David to appreciate why science has proved Sue's instincts to be so
right on! We proudly co-own David with Sue & Ed Pierrot of Maple
View Alpacas. Together we can't wait to use David's exceptional dark
color genetics on virtually any of our girls.
