Gorgeous Matrix Son

TP Matrix Jubilee

ARI# 31725064   D.O.B. 10/23/2010  (2 yrs)

Huacaya, Male, Proven | White

Full Peruvian

I am really excited about this young male and I cannot wait to get him started in our breeding program!
He is a son of the renowned Snowmass Matrix and of our finest fleeced female, Valedar's Parfait--who at 9 years of age and overweight has a micron of 19 still!

This male was everything we were hoping for! He is Dense. He is Fine. He has a beautiful, fine, silky fleece with bundles, brightness, long staples, a well defined high frequency crimp. And I expect that his fineness will persist as has his dam's and as has his sire, Snowmass Matrix. Every one of Valedar's Parfait's offsping has EPD''s for fineness in the top 1-3%.

In addition to evaluating Jubilee's EPD's we have also had skin biopsies done by Norm Evans. These were done at 28 months of age and were spectacular.

He has now settled his first female who is due 12/5/2013 and I can hardly wait to see what he produces. We have a whole line-up of some of our best females to breed him to, including Motivator's mother, Chase Tavern Tallow.

Skin Biopsy Results:
“Tierra Prometida’s Matrix Jubilee” was biopsied as a 28 month old white beige male with ARI#31725064. He is marked incorrectly on his 15x scan picture as well as density scan picture as a female rather than a male. I can redo at a later date. His 15X scan shows large fiber clusters mostly uniform in shape and placement. His true density is a freakish 107.73 follicles SQ MM of skin and his S/P ratio is 12.6 to 1. Note his high level 4 of 4 gland presence as the grey areas on the S/P and 250X scans. I would expect brightness of his fibers and this level of gland presence seems to be a strongly passed male genetic trait. 100 secondary fibers average 13.9 microns while 50 primary fibers average 17.4 microns for a spread of only 3.5 microns. I have never seen this level of stats in a male of his age or any male.

Jubilee is conformationally beautiful and is extremely typey and compact. In addition he carries a fleece (as witnessed by his skin biopsies and histograms) that is stunning! His strong EPD's from both his dam and his sire are rock solid and predict that he will be able to project these fleece characteristics to his offpring in a reliable and predictable way.

All alpacas are not created equally....TP Matrix Jubilee is living proof.
