Density 81.8/mm WOW!!!

Arapaho DELGADO by Spinosa

Ian Watt, Alpaca Consulting Services USA comment on Delgado's Skin Biopsy Report

"This is the best silver grey I have ever tested and truly is one out of the box!

The density is elite, the uniformity both within and between fiber population is exceptional , especially for a grey of any type and the S:P is very, very good.

The 9.9 micron count is rare indeed and came from a derived secondary follicle which is the sign of a very uniformly distributed follicle development in the skin.

This a beautiful set of fleece numbers."

What a great combination of genetics created Delgado. His grandsire, LV Vantaggio di Bisturi is the third density alpaca with a 74.5 mm skin biopsy (as of June 2018). Throw in some Silver Rose Sentinel who has an above average density but incredible staple length. Those two factors created the dynamics to allow Delgado to shear 11.8 pounds of fiber on his small 123 pound frame. Put that all together with a sweet personality who loves to give kisses and you have Delgado.

Reserve a breeding now.
