Bogart's River Passion

Priscilla is a gem of a foundation female. At age one she has histogram average fiber diameter of 16 and at 3 it is only 19. She has other trait characteristics that are also very desirable, such as a CV of 10 and a SD of only 3.7. Her fiber density is as good as it gets with her father being Snowmass RRoyal Stars whose density skin biopsy is one of the best in the world. Priscilla has fineness and density, a grower's dream for a foundation dam. Her latest cria is out of Hemingway's Bogart and she is gorgeous. If you purchase Priscilla she will come with a breeding to one of our herdsire with a guarantee of offspring improvement and guarantee of producing offspring.

Priscilla not only has fine fiber but her Standard Deviation of fine fiber is 3.7. This SD is an exceptional indicator of uniformity of fine fiber across her fleece. If you look at her expected progeny determinations below on her standard deviation of AFD she should also pass along this uniformity of fineness trait to her offspring. We will show Priscilla at IAO this year in both halter and walking fleece. Take a look at Priscilla's histogram included on this webpage. It is truly outstanding in all fiber character traits.

We have purchased Priscilla and a number of foundations dams known to have good density or bred to a stud known to have exceptional density. We have made those purchases to insure our production line of alpacas will possess the density necessary for what we want to offer our customers. Plus we will striving, in our breeding program, to produce the ideal alpaca with the ideal fleece both in fineness and density. Priscilla has produced just over 8 lbs of fiber at every shearing. That is density and she is small framed.

Priscilla's trait values below are a set of well rounded values that represent improvement in 7 out of 9 traits. These kinds of values are important in a dam being used for breeding improvement. There is no one individual value that is a "Wow" v
