Congratulations to Eagle Valley Alpacas and Alpaca Plantation of Enumclaw, Washington on their full ownership of Hemingway's Tequila.
When herdsires are selected for the Studmaster program, there are many factors considered in the decision. Hemingway's Tequila is the offspring of a superior dam, Peruvian Ayabaca, and the famous Peruvian Hemingway. He represents all the phenotypic expressions of those elite genetics that you would expect. He is alert, displays constitutional vigor, is well-proportioned, has good bone, and finishes off the package with cover to the grass and a beautiful head. But you must add his super fine fiber to the equation, which tested 15.8 microns at 12 months and 16.9 microns at 24 months! This fleece is spectacular. It is organized into tight, bundled staples that are blessed with high frequency crimp. Put it all together and you have the shear off champion at the 2003 Redmond AWE show. Alpaca fleece like Tequila's is worshipped worldwide in famous fashion houses for its superior softness and handle. It's herdsires like Tequila who will make it possible to nurture this fame.
