Jack has four generations of true black on his sire's side. His dam is HVLA Jill out of Snowmass Peruvian Cashmere a DRAMBUIE son and HVLA Nicola a true black. Lineage?.....'nuff said.
This big boned young man obviously has his superfine fleece passed down on his dam's side. How often do you see a 16.8 micron fleece in a black, even at 1 year of age? If that's not enough, he's very dense and shows well defined crimp and incredible luster. Jack had his follicle biopsy done by Dr Jim Watt in Australia: He has 2 crimps per cm and ZERO medullation, EVEN in his primary follicles. He is retaining his fineness into his fourth year!. NEWS FLASH!!! THE 2007 OFDA 2000 fiber testing has identified HVLA BLACK JACK AS THE FINEST BLACK IN HIS AGE GROUP OF 58 HUACAYAS, 37-48 MONTHS OF AGE. AND....JACK WAS 46 MONTHS AT THIS SHEARING!! Jack keeps getting better with age. As he matures, his fleece is holding up and mellow temperament remains unchanged. No wonder that in awarding him Color Champion at just under age 3 at the California Classic, judge Dawn Brooker stated " I'd love to have 30 just like him in my pasture.
Jack now has several stunning cria on the ground. Jack is proudly co-owned with Mark and Debbie Emery of Brookfarm Alpacas in Glen Ellen,Ca. If black is what you are looking for, look no further!
