Pedigree Analysis of Alpacas from our succesful Thoroughbred analysis history

• Pedigree provides insight into an alpaca’s potential, ability and value.

• The principles of breeding to type, involve balancing conformational faults, attitude, and fleece quality

• “Success Breeds Success.” It is a simple cycle. Buy the best female you can, then breed to the best male you can to improve on your female’s weakness.

Herdsires – some things among numerous facts and attributes to consider:
   • Number of cria
   • Type of alpaca the herdsire produces – how
      many of the positive traits are passed on (50%
      comes from Male, 50% from Female)

Production Females – as with the herdsire, there are many factors to consider:
   • Type of alpaca the female produces – how many
