Apple Mountain Alpacas

Glory is the whole package - Color champion, Top 1% EPDs, fineness, uniformity, density and looks.

When we select foundation females, we look at conformation, fleece, histograms, pedigree, EPDs, show performance for judge's validation, alpaca size, and fleece weight at shearing.

Glory was the whole package in meeting every criteria as a foundation female. Her conformation, bone structure, and fleece are all champion quality. Her histograms started at 14 micron and at age 4 crept up to 17 micron while holding an SD in the 3's. Her pedigree is loaded with champions that are known for density and fineness, even including a rare Australian line (Jolimont) that's world famous. EPDs are top 1% and match excellent fineness with top fleece weight and shorter staple (=density). Assessments by judges placed her above females from some of the top programs in the nation (for halter and fleece), and she won BEST crimp and BEST hand at 2 different shows. She weighs > 150 lbs and at most recent shearing had an almost 12 lb fleece.

This is the type of foundation female that really is the whole package. We're super excited to pair her with each of our world class herdsires to produce new little superstars in the years to come.

Glory had a beautiful 2018 male named Glacier and she was bred to Snowstorm hopefully for a 2019 female cria.
