His farm indicated that while still breeding as he turned 14 in 2016 (DOB 8/25/2002), this was also the first year his trait data was entered by his farm. At 14+ years old his statistics were competitive with much younger males: AFD @ -1.003 (0.429),
SDAFD @ -0.292 (0.428), SF @ -1.053 (0.439), %F>30 @ -4.126 (0.442), MC @ 3.062 (0.381) [2040 of 21089].

2003 cria: 15.9 AFD / 3.3 SD / 20.6 CV / 0.3% >30.
2003: 19.1 AFD /3.3 SD /17.3% /0.9% > 30, Curve 66.4, CF 99.7% (7 mos); 2lbs skirted blanket.

2006: 25.9 AFD /4.3 SD /16.5% CV (45 mos) -- his farm reported high protein diet this year. 4.6 lb, 3.5-4" staple, 51 wks

KCAF Peruvian RRoyal Faith
| 35075301 | Dark Silver Grey |
Owned by Kissin' Coussens Alpaca Farm.
DOB 10/6/2010.
2011: 18.9 AFD / 5.1 SD / 27.2% CV / 3.8% > 30(4 mos)
2012: 18.6 AFD / 5.8 SD
2013: 2.8# prime, 2.2# seconds, 0.6 remainder = 5.6# total
Her farm reports that she is: "Very healthy, sound, calm, sweet and energetic with excellent phenotype, correct conformation and movement. Her fleece exhibits amazing density and uniformity (it only lacks a lower SD) which is consistent with her champion and blue ribbon parents of full Peruvian heritage and it exhibits the characteristics of the Columbia sheep type. Her fleece type is not bundled, but just a one continuous solidly closed fleece.
When I part her fleece there is a wavy aligned crimp along the staple, but the individual fibers have a crimp frequency averaging 9 - 10 crimps per inch and the primaries are also very nicely crimped. The only visible guard hairs on her second blanket are sparse ones on the edges of her belly and apron.
Her neck and lower leg fleece are shorter, like a vicuna, which allows the majority of her fiber-growing energies to go into her blanket.
Faith is a product of our efforts to produce some top quality alpacas that are unrelated to many common, popular bloodlines as well as to ultilize the more highly scrutinized 4P, 5P and 6P imports, the later of which had to pass the most stringent selection criteria of all importations.
Faith's sire line goes back to Snowmass' 4P Andean Gold and the rest of her ancestors hail from the 1998 Peruvian importation, so she is unrelated to many great grey bloodlines and all Accoyo lines.
Peruvian Heritage (coops and regions): Alianza, Condorsenca, Hauycho, Macusani, Machacoyo, Pinaya, Santa Rosa. There's no denying the superior fleece genetics of a top quality Peruvian."

A lovely female with great conformation and an very FINE and soft handled, dense and long stapled fleece that beautifully promises excellent crias. With her pedigree of proven producers for overall quality, she's sure to be an excellent producer and we cannot wait to pair her with our champion black herdsires.
SO EXCITED about her beautiful LF girl by 5C's Captain Midnight. She has beautiful fiber and just shines on and on! Cannot wait to watch her grow!
