We are EXTREMELY happy to have acquired BRADFORD from Grazing Hills Alpacas! Bradford is the half brother of our dearly departed Dirk. Both are sons of Accoyo-America DIOMEDES who is now deceased. Diomedes has imprinted his handsome head and his amazing fleece characteristics to these sons of his and for that reason we jumped at the chance to have another Diomedes boy on the farm! Bradford x Vanora = Kaeleigh: our first Bradford baby born on the farm June 2020. She's a beaut! Kaeleigh turned out so pretty we rebred Vanora to Bradford . . . and Kenzie . . . and Muireall . . . and Khloë! Three of those four have had their cria and they have GORGEOUS fleece! Many of our breedings will be to Bradford again. That's just how nice we think he is! Bradford has a beautiful head, nice bite, boxy conformation, wonderfully straight topline, super fleece characteristics. Handsome on all counts! He is an eager breeder, ready for action, and we are offering his drive-by breedings at $600. 2021 Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) results (at 11 YEARS!!): TOP 6% for AFD, —1.800: likely to decrease fiber diameter in offspring TOP 11% SDAFD, —0.417: likely to decrease standard deviation in offspring TOP 6.35% SF, —1.778 likely to decrease spin fineness in offspring TOP 10% %F>30, —5.752: likely to decrease fibers over 30 micron in offspring TOP 17% MC, 2.882: likely to increase mean curvature in offspring Ranked 36% for %M, -1.349, likely to decrease medullation in offspring Ranked 72% for MSL, -1.328, likely to decrease staple length in offspring Ranked 77% for FW, 0.003, likely to increase fleece weight slightly in offspring Now that's what we call LINGERING FINENESS! Is it fineness you need? Then bring your girls over, especially your coarser girls with longer staple. With this guy, it's hard to imagine you won't get a better-fleeced cria from a breeding to Bradford! Discounts for multiple breedings.

Vanora was bred to Grazing Hills Bradford and birthed a gorgeous girl on 6/17/2020 named Kaeleigh. They both have amazing fleece with the super inherited quality of lingering fineness and we fully expect this cria to follow in their impressive steps. This is such a beautiful cria, we rebred Vanora to Bradford for a 2021 cria born 8/11/2021. It's a boy! A dandy beautiful boy! Vanora's 2020 histogram is now posted—super nice! Click on "histogram" for the full report. She has consistently been one of our heaviest fleece weights while being one of our lowest micron. That is a combo we want to keep and reproduce! Lingering fineness. LOOK at her latest EPD Report for 2021 (side bar)! Remember this gal is 13 years old!] What do all those EPD values mean for Vanora's cria? Avg Fiber Diameter (AFD) will likely decrease by -1.341, really good! Top 12% in the nation! Standard Deviation of AFD will decrease by -0.232, good! Top 25% in the nation! Spin Fineness (SF) will decrease by -1.435, excellent! Top 10% in the nation! % of Fibers > 30 micron will decrease by -5.311, amazing! Top 11% in the nation! Mean Curve (MC) of fiber will increase by 2.472, super! Top 17% in the nation! % Medullation (M) will increase by 1.814, (the full impact of medullation in fleece remains a question at this point in time.) Mean Staple Length (MSL) will increase by 1.814, wonderful!Top 13% in the nation! Fleece Weight (FW) will increase by 1.131, INCREDIBLE! Top 1% in the nation! What the EPD says is that Vanora is an superb animal with really excellent fleece traits that she passes to her cria. Vanora took the BLUE in her age group for the 2010 AOBA National Spin-Off. Her 2 year histogram shows why: 17.2 3.5 20.7 CF 100%, Curve 47. Her 3rd year clip was 9.25 lbs. of 20 micron blanket! Fine micron with a heavy shear weight adds up to density. Sometimes I secretly wish she were a stud! We used Robyn Kuhl from Coarse Broads and the NAAFP cooperative to sort our fiber in 2011. Vanora scored a 9 for brightness and a 9 for uniformity, an 8 for density, and had a high secondary to primary ratio. Anything above 7 is above average. Vanora has presence, size, attitude, beautiful conformation, fabulous, lustrous, crimpy fleece. She's out of our best, Kupcake, and gorgeous sire Accoyo America Diomedes (now deceased) who leaves his signature "look" on his kids. She's our top notch foundation female and a keeper!

Kaeleigh is from our foundation dam, Vanora, one of the best animals on our farm with phenomenal EPDs. Her sire is Grazing Hills Bradford, who also has great EPDs, especially for fineness. We expected that Kaeleigh would have nice fiber and she is showing us it's very true!

She is pure white, she has a beautiful head and is shaping up well in the conformation department with straight topline and straight legs. Her fleece is exceptionally soft, LOOONG, and crimpy with heavy coverage. We are expecting her to develop into quite the little princess and we plan to use her as a foundation dam. She's a big girl like her mama. We have very high expectations in what she will produce for the farm.
