At Alpacas from MaRS our breeding program is focused on fiber fineness, healthy solid conformation, and fleece coverage. David Shines is an excellent example of all of these things! He is a rich caramel colored male with all the fineness you would expect from Hemingway and Felix on the same pedigree.
David's last fiber analysis shows that he really is holding his fineness with age, at 5 yrs his AFD is 22.7, with a CV of 18.6! David's progeny have all received rave reviews from their owners, some have gone on to do repeat breedings, one has matched the same female with David for 5 years in a row! 2004 was a color test year for David, and he passed beautifully. He is allowing color from the dam to come through while improving the character and fineness of their fleece. His crias are claiming multiple ribbons in the showring!
David has been coined "Super Fine, David Shines" by our clients.
