Fantastic news, Taboo just won First Place in his class, Reserve Color Champion and an Advanced Fleece Award for a score of 82.5 all at the Calpaca Autumn Fleece Extravaganza 2022 but that's not all, he also won the Spirit of the Fiber Industry Award. This award is only given to fleece in the 3 years and older categories. It honors traits recognized as very valuable in long term breeding strategies.


At the age of 1yr and 3mos Taboo was evaluated by Judge Cheryl Gehly. Under uniformity of micron she stated his primaries were medium/fine and his secondaries were fine. In confirmation he received top scores.

We are very pleased with Taboo's Skin Biopsy Report Dated May 24, 2021
Secondary:Primary fiber ratio: 8.8:1
In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 21.1µ Standard Deviation: 2.5µ Range: 15.5 µ to 24.6 µ
In-skin mean secondary fiber diameter: 20.6µ Standard Deviation: 2.9 µ Range: 14.0 µ to 28.2 µ
*Comments from Ian Watt "The two fiber populations show excellent uniformity and, in my opinion, AFD numbers that are near perfect for the production of sought-after commercially valuable fleece.”

Taboo is a handsome and easy to handle, proud male with a calm disposition, solid confirmation on a square frame, correct bite and excellent fiber coverage from head to toe.

Taboo is now proven and has produced 3 gorgeous crias, a light fawn male, a medium brown male and a beige female. We are very pleased with all 3 of his offspring and can not wait to put him back to work.
