We are EXTREMELY happy to have acquired BRADFORD from Grazing Hills Alpacas!

Bradford is the half brother of our dearly departed Dirk. Both are sons of Accoyo-America DIOMEDES who is now deceased. Diomedes has imprinted his handsome head and his amazing fleece characteristics to these sons of his and for that reason we jumped at the chance to have another Diomedes boy on the farm!

Bradford x Vanora = Kaeleigh: our first Bradford baby born on the farm June 2020. She's a beaut!

Vanora was bred to Grazing Hills Bradford and birthed a gorgeous girl on 6/17/2020 named Kaeleigh. They both have amazing fleece with the super inherited quality of lingering fineness and we fully expect this cria to follow in their impressive steps. This is such a beautiful cria, we rebred Vanora to Bradford for a 2021 cria born 8/11/2021. It's a boy! A dandy beautiful boy!

Description

Her Scottish name, Kaeleigh, is pronounced Kaylee. This beautiful young lady is almost 2 with the plan to get her bred this spring. She's gorgeous and you need to look at her EPD in the side bar! Fantastic fleece qualities!

What do Kaeleigh's EPD stats mean? They indicate what she will likely contribute to fleece characteristics:
Avg Fiber Diameter (AFD) will likely decrease by -1.335, really good! TOP 11% in the nation!
Standard Deviation of AFD will decrease by -0.232, good! TOP 20% in the nation!
Spin Fineness (SF) will decrease by -1.384, excellent! Top 11% in the nation!
% of Fibers > 30 micron will decrease by -4.123, amazing! Top 22% in the nation!
Mean Curve (MC) of fiber will increase by 1.273, super!
% Medullation (M) will increase by 1.814, (the full impact of medullation in fleece remains a question at this point in time.)
Mean Staple Length (MSL) will increase by 2.068, stunning! Top 10% in the nation!
Fleece Weight (FW) will increase by 0.6130, nice! Top 8% in the nation!

Kaeleigh is from our foundation dam, Vanora, one of the best animals on our farm with phenomenal EPDs. Her sire is Grazing Hills Bradford, who also has great EPDs, especially for fineness. We expected that Kaeleigh would have nice fiber and she is showing us it's very true!

She is pure white, she has a beautiful head and is shaping up well in the conformation department with straight topline and straight legs. Her fleece is exceptionally soft, long, and crimpy with heavy coverage. We are expecting her to develop into quite the little princess and our future plans are to use her as a foundation dam when she comes of age, and thus her price.

We are hoping to get her bred this spring and have very high expectations in what she can produce.
