News Flash - At the 2009 Mid America Alpaca Show, Ramon received the AFNCA Spirit of the Fiber Industry award for his 9th fleece! 2008 histogram: MC 27.3, SD 5.3 and CV 19.4. Not bad for a 8 year old breeding male!, Look what he throws: son Jackson, 16.9 MC on second fleece; son Timmy, 21.7 on third fleece; three 2007 daughters tested at 15.8 (med. fawn), 15.6 (light fawn) and 18.4 (dark fawn) microns.
The last owner of the now deceased P. Timoteo described DPF Ramon as "a phenominal animal". Other breeders have called him "outstanding", "spectacular" and "awesome." Ramon's fiber exhibits multiple tiny crimps per inch from the skin all the way to the tips on very well defined locks. His fleece is identical to his famous half brother, Quetzel, according to Quetzel's owner.
Timoteo genetics are rare and hard to acquire. ARI Database shows only 15 breeding sons of Pperuvian Timoteo.
