This is Nutmeg, our newest baby from this year's group. She is what I am trying to accomplish with my breeding program. Her mother is the daughter of my white, full Peruvian, full Accoyo herdsire, and her father is my black Peruvian herdsire. Blacks sometimes lack density, while whites usually have the density, crimp and fineness, but not the natural colors you want. My object is to breed in the density and crimp from my white herdsires, and then breed in the color from my black and dark brown herdsires. Nutmeg seems to have it all, and I'm very excited about showing her at Great Western Alpaca Show in the spring of 2011.
