Alpacas of Somerset Farm

Building The Future On A Foundation of Excellence

Our Foundation Females

We carefully selected, and are currently retaining, these girls because of the qualities we feel they bring to our breeding program.

Paradise Ridge Chaccuna

Breed: Huacaya
Color: Light Fawn
ARI: 832574
DOB: 9/20/01
Sire: 5Peruvian Chaccu

Dam: Tomasina (Vengador daughter)

Histogram age 5:     AFD 24, SD 3.9, CV 16.3 >30 5.3

Histogram age 6:     AFD 25.6, SD 4.2, CV 16.4 >30 9.8

Histogram age 7:     AFD 27.3, SD 4.7, CV 17.2 >30 21.8

This beauty has it all -- uniform zippered crimp from top knot to tail, density, brightness, solid conformation and an awesome head. Take a look at her fiber results. This phenomenal female has produced two males who are standing as herdsires at our ranch. Her female is Faeteza who was selected to be retained for our breeding program. It is no wonder that she is one of our foundation females and the cornerstone of our light breeding program.

Chaccuna will be bred to Derwydd El Nino's Accoyo Manchu  (Full Accoyo!!) in January 2009. It will be a long wait to see what this breeding brings!

Inti-Sapa's Misty Dawn

Breed: Huacaya
Color: Medium Fawn
ARI: 839995
DOB: 10/3/02

Sire: Inti Sapa (831678) MF
Dam: Hermonie (833965) LF
AFD 23.5, SD 6.0, CV 25.5 >30 21.8

Dawn is a full Peruvian female with good body capacity, exhibiting a very bright, healthy, uniform fleece with a high frequency. low amplitude crimp and good density. Her fawn dam Hermonie is out of Aladdin – sire of many champions. Her sire, Inti Sapa is also the sire of champions and multiple Get-of-Sire winner.
Dawn's first cria Miss Francisca is a dazzling beauty. Peruvian Francisco (ARI #1223590) a true black sire and this light fawn dam produced a true black girl artistically splattered with white markings. Standing straight and proud this black beauty sports the luminous and bundled fleece we were expecting from this breeding.
We bred Dawn back to Francisco which resulted in the cria in the picture. One word describes this female beauty--Exquisite! This girl is a "keeper" and will be added to foundation herd.

Look what happens when the foundation herdsire genetics (5Peruvian Chaccu and Vengador) of our best fleece production foundation female are combined with those (Bueno and Don Julio) of our densest and heaviest fleece producing herdsire Followill Emilio. The result is a complete package....sound conformation, desirable fleece architecture and structure, density, bundling, and excellent staple length.
This girl is the result of our breeding program and we are thrilled!
