Cedar's Jasmine

"From the minute this alpaca dried off after birth, his fleece looked like crushed velvet. SHINE GALORE! Plush, soft, true-black, everyone wanted to rub their face against him. He has retained all that fineness with tiny, ultra high-frequency crimp, and density that grew in profoundly with his flood of new-growth secondary fibers. Add the coverage on his head and toes -- like we all dream of in dark color -- and what a package for anyone breeding fineness into their color program without sacrificing density. Both his dam and sire are dark in color and have the lingering fineness that is a new industry target, and now that Crush is almost 4 years old, we can tell he's got it, too! We improve our color program by breeding to our higher end whites and fawns first, usually for a couple generations, and have been waiting for that perfect black herdsire from two dark parents to take the progeny of those crosses back to, and Crush will reset the color now without sacrificing fineness or density. We celebrated at his birth because he was a BOY, the very one we had been waiting on to frost our color program with!!! As he grew up, we fell in love over and over with his fleece, and now EVERYONE HAS A CRUSH ON CRUSH!!" Crush has several babies on the ground and they are all displaying his wonderful fineness.
