Emerald Isle is a full sister to the well-known NWA,Ltd Haldane, of the Studmaster program:
"Haldane is Full Peruvian, and Full Allianza, creating an outstanding example of top-line genetics. His fleece is very dense and fine with an abundance of sheen and vitality, along with beautiful architecture. Just like Hemingway, Haldane's micron count remains excellent: 23.1 microns at 8 years of age. He is dense, has a silky soft handle and has coverage head to toe.
His namesake, Roger Haldane, is the original alpaca pioneer from Australia, who selected and owned Haldanes dam, Esmeralda (from Rural Allianza, Macusani) whom he then had mated to Hemingway. The result of this thoughtful breeding is spectacular." Mike Safely of Northwest Alpacas
