With one of the best colored biopsy results Alpaca Consulting Services has seen in the US to date - Diamond Duke's data shows highly desirable numbers across the board.
..."This is an elite alpaca with excellent density figures well supported by a high S/P ratio and with very good micron counts for primary and secondary fibers including a very, very good SD for the secondary fibers. …This is a beauty, …you have one of the best in the USA here!” Ian Watt (7/08)

Dr. Jim Watts, "The alpaca has high levels of fiber density”.
Panasche's fleece character of deeply crimped and small bundled locks is amazing. The quality of this fleece should not be under estimated - it is rare to see a dark alpaca with his kind of character - it is a truly advanced fleece.
Before her retirement from judging, Maggie Krieger, one of the best international Judges in the world, gave Panasche the Color Championship in a field of 33 brown males and raved about his outstanding fleece character and incredible density!
We believe that every colored breeding program could use his crimp style and density. He has already produced several champion offspring in both fleece and halter and will certainly be adding to his list of outstanding dark offspring in the years to come.

Sire: Sonora's Accoyo Ferrari
Dam: Timberland's Maria
"This is a well above average male exhibiting high density with good S:P figures supported by a narrower than average differential between primary and secondary fibers, especially for a non-white alpaca. A bonus feature is the below 4 micron SD for each of the two fiber types – a very desirable feature in any alpaca male of quality." Ian Watt, 7/08
With a follicle count above 60 mm2, Ferrari's Excel is an example of what is meant by "Next Generation" genetics. Through objective measurements he has shown he is significantly above average in several fleece quality measurements.
He is firmly the future of our breeding program as we strive to consistently produce alpacas that are considerably above national averages in fleece quality.

Keep an eye on this blue ribbon winner - he will soon be joining our top herdsire line up. He is the son of DDF Peruvian Rico Suave – who has now become infamous for his lasting fineness. Vincent is stepping right in line with a 1st yr micron of 17.2.
He is packing the industry's very best genetics:
Sire Side:
DDF Peruvian Rico Suave – 17.1 mc @ 8 yrs.
6Peruvian Accoyo Elite - 18.2 mc @ 6
DDF Bobbie Anne – 19 mc @ 11 (dam of Elite Maximus)
Peruvian Hemingway - 17.8 mc @ 3
Dam Side:
MSA Peruvain Vonna – 22.9 ave. mc over 8 yrs
Accoyo Victor - peak shearing-14.5 lbs./8 lb. blanket, SL: 6+ in.)
PPervian Naviad
There is no question where this young male will eventually stand in our breeding program. He will be our go-to male for extreme - lasting fineness.

To put these numbers in perspective: With 62.6 follicles mm2 Duke is just over double the density or twice the number of fibres on its body as the average US alpaca.
His fibres are growing about 20% faster and his primary fibres are about 12 microns finer than average.
This male is a very good prospect for reducing primary micron size and fining up fleeces.

Sire: Black Peruvian Royal Forest
Dam: Our Peruvian Circe
We have recently sold our interest in Midnight Man to our partners Kinney Valley Alpacas. We look forward to seeing his many outstanding black and grey crias cleaning up in show the ring for years to come!
With his cria fleece shorn at 8 months, Midnight Man was deservingly awarded the 2005 AOBA Reserve Black Fleece Color Championship. Remarkable not only for the males he competed against in the class, but also for such a young male.
His biopsy data shows what every breeder of black alpacas is looking for - a TB that is well above average for density and has a high S:P ratio with an organized (bundled), uniform fleece.
