2011 Ohio AlpacaFest Valerian son won JUDGE'S CHOICE, HIGH SCORE, COLOR CHAMPION AND BEST BRIGHTNESS in the fleece show!! Another son won HIGH SCORE in the spin off!! We are a fleece market...what are you breeding for? ***2013 Side fiber sample Yocom-McColl:20.0/4.8/23/9%/3.4% Very nice for an 8y.o. breeding male! IMPORTANT... Valerian's cria, like him as a cria, have great coverage, fineness, incredible brightness (one farm described it as looking like shiny plastic) and the look of a suri's fleece. The crimp does develop as you can see in the picture to the right of Valerian's cria fleece and 2nd shearing. This 3/4 Accoyo El Nino son has fiber that appears to be dripping gold. Valerian has the softest hand and is incredibly dense, with a long staple length. His crimp is visible without touching his fleece, all the way down his legs and up his neck. Seeing him and touching him will speak volumes more than I could ever write. Valerian has the same calm dignity his dam, Verbena (a Victor daughter and mother to MSA Pinot Noir), has and gets along well with his 11 other pen mates. He can be led to and from his breedings by putting your arm around his neck and walking with him. I mention this as we believe personality is also important, especially in a breedng male that lives with other males and needs to be handled by us. A skin biopsy done on Sept 20, 2007 and the total results were outstanding. 70 follicles/sq mm (average Dr Evans has seen in his testings 38.75sq mm) S/P 19.75 to 1 (average found 8.5 to 1)! Triad clusters-remarkable. And, he continues to hold his fineness! Stop by and take a look to see what he can add to your breeding program or email for a fiber sample.

WE ARE PLEASED TO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE ENRIQUE FROM THE SUNSET HILLS BREEDING PROGRAM TO ADD TO OUR BREEDING PROGRAM. ENRIQUE CONTINUES TO SERVE US WELL AND NOW ITS TIME FOR HIM TO BE SHARED WITH ANOTHER BREEDER TO SERVE THEM AS WELL AS HE HAS US ENRIQUE IS THE SON OF DDF PERUVIAN RICO SUAVE WHO AT AGE 9 WAS HOLDING A 17.6 ADF FLEECE. LOOK AT ENRIQUE'S ARI AND YOU WILL SEE THAT HE COMES FROM LINES OF LINGERING FINENESS. ACCOYO ELITE,PERUVIAN HEMINGWAY, PPERUVIAN VICTOR, PERUVIAN BUENO AND ALL INDICATIONS HE WILL PASS IT ON. DR. NORM EVANS SKIN BIOPSY REPORT SUNSET HILL'S ENRIQUE WAS BIOPSIED AS A 5 YEAR OLD LIGHT FAWN MALE WITH ARI#31749572. HE WAS A BCS OF 6/10,FRAME SCORE 3 OF 3 AND WEIGHTS OF 200 POUNDS. HIS 15X SCAN SHOWS FIBER CLUSTERS UNIFORM IN SHAPE AND PLACEMENT WITHIN THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE. HE GRADES 4 OF 4 GLANDS AND ALSO NOTE THAT NEAR 30% OF HIS SECONDARY FIBERS ARE CYLINDRICAL OR ROUND WHICH ALSO EQUATES TO GREATER BRIGHTNESS OF FIBER. OBSERVE THE 6 FIBER CLUSTERS ON THE S/P OF 14.5 TO 1.25 FIBER CLUSTERS AN AVERAGE OF 13.9 TO 1. ALSO NOTE ON THE G/P VIEW THE PRESENCE OF TRIAD FIBER CLUSTERS WHICH IS USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH MORE DENSE ALPACAS. HIS DENSITY IS MEASURED AT 63.25 FOLLICLES PER SQ MM OF SKIN BUT RECEIVES AN ADDITIONAL 1.5 POINTS OF DENSITY FOR THE LEVEL OF SKIN STRETCH DUE TO HIS BODY CONDITION SCORE. ENRIQUE'S TRUE DENSITY IS 64.75 FOLLICLES PER SQ MM OF SKIN. 100 SECONDARY FIBERS OF 18.9 MICRONS AND 50 PRIMARY FIBERS AVERAGE 26.4 MICRONS FOR A VARIATION OF 7.5 MICRONS. ENRIQUE SHOWS ABOVE AVERAGE DENSITY, S/P RATION, A HIGH LEVEL OF GLANDS WITH MANY ROUND FIBERS, BELOW AVERAGE SECONDARY MEDULLATION AND EXTREME FITNESS WITH A LOW SPREAD FOR HIS AGE. AMAZING FIBER STATES FOR A FIVE YEAR OLD. 30 DAY LIVE BIRTH WARRANTY. BOARDING AVAILABLE DURING BREEDING PERIOD ENRIQUE IS PROUDLY OWNED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CIRCLE W FARM, LIBERTY, NC WHERE HE CURRENTLY RESIDES .
