GRAZING HILLS PANDORA   

Medium Brown, 1193411, 1/2 Chilean, 1/2 Peruvian

Pandora just gave us her third female cria from Diomedes! The pairing of the two has been the most consistent on the farm...great conformation and coverage, incredibly fine fleece...and all girls!! The latest is little DF beauty. Pandora's first girl, Miss Emma, was sold to the UK. Miss Scarlet, cria number two, will be listed shortly since we are selling the herd.

AND SECOND HISTOGRAMS FOLLOW SUIT...OF THE NINE YEARLINGS TESTED IN 2010, ALL BUT TWO WERE UNDER 18 MICRONS.

The fleece judge for 2008 Alpacapalooza, Cheryl Gehly, agreed with us about Diomedes' 2007 blanket. She wrote "Wow! Simply spectacular..." and awarded him 20 OUT OF 20 FOR FINENESS AND HANDLE, 9.5 OUT OF 10 FOR CHARACTER, AND 5 OUT OF 5 FOR DENSITY. In addition, Diomedes won the COLOR CHAMPION, BEST CRIMP, and JUDGE'S CHOICE awards. Naturally, we are th
