Copper Hill Ranch

CHR Retta   

White, Full Peruvian

One of the first Caligula Accoya Posiedon daughters to hit the ground. This girl is sure to be an asset to any breeding program. Hir first cria, a female will begin her show career this fall. Retta, is an excellent mother with plenty of milk. Retta has a very soft handle to her fleece and we feel that the breeding to FRA Lucero, who carries the famous Misty Maiden bloodlines will produce an awesome cria.

Avanti is the golden cross of Accoyo and highly-select Alianza bloodlines. Grandson of the legendary Peruvian White Out and Accoyo Royal Fawn, he proves to be a sound genetic out-cross. A well-known alpaca judge says:"Let me tell you about his fleece- it has a fine,soft handle, high-frequency crimp with well-defined bundles, exceptional staple length, excellent density and brightness". We expect him to contribute both density and character to our crias and will allow only 5 outside breedings at our Colorado ranch each year.

At 5 years of age, Avanti's histogram shows remarkable uniformity with the standard deviation at only 4.5 microns and the CV at 18.8%, much lower than the "normal" SD of 5 and CV of 20. This is the kind of fiber that we need to be passing on in the National Herd!! His excellent density and bundling was recently proven by a skin biopsy.

Avanti now has 16 registered crias, with more in processing , all with outstanding newborn fiber. See the fiber on o
