Rory

Beau has a strong, upright conformation, heavy bone and a correct bite. His fleece has a high amplitude, high frequency crimp the entire length of the staple; bright bundles give his outer fleece that "popcorn" look. Judge Ruth Elvestad commented that Beau had "crimpy fleece from skin end to staple end and a soft, soft handle". The crimp goes into his neck and tight topknot. Hand spinners have asked to purchase his fleeces. Beau is an enthusiastic breeder. His dam, Del Ria, was one of the best production females at JRAM Alpacas...birthing easily and producing plenty of milk, with her cria gaining about a pound a day. Beau's sisters have followed their mom's example and are excellent mothers. It is expected that Beau will have a good influence over the milk production of his female offspring. His first cria, JRAM's Patrone, a medium silver gray male with a nice bundled architecture and crimpy fleece. Patrone's micron on his cria fleece was 17.7. Patrone and his dam - a tuxedo black - were purchased and his dam has been bred back to Beau for another try at gray. We feel he has the potential to create award-winning offspring. Beau is holding his fineness and consistency in his fiber. Check out his fiber stats at the bottom right corner of the page. Beau's dam has had a lot of influence on his fiber as at age 11, her histogram stats were: AFD: 26.8; SD: 5.2; CV: 19.5; CF: 78.5; Curve: 32.2. His sister, Maude, at age 8 has histogram stats of: AFD: 20.4; SD: 4.6; CV: 22.8; CF: 97.3. Fleece samples are available.
