Description


He is Dense. He is Fine. He has a beautiful, fine, silky fleece with bundles, brightness, long staples, and a well-defined high frequency crimp. His fineness persists as has his dam's and as has his sire, Snowmass Matrix. Every one of his dam’s (Valedar's Parfait) offspring has EPD''s for fineness in the top 1-3%.
As the U.S. alpaca industry matures and advances, breeding decisions are being governed more by the objectivity of science and less by the hype of marketing. Fiber measurement, Estimated Progeny Differences and skin biopsy study all give us insights that can only narrow breeding decision making. All of these facts are available in predicting TP Matrix Jubilee's worth as a stud male.

SKIN BIOPSY
“Tierra Prometida’s Matrix Jubilee” was biopsied as a 28 month old white beige male with ARI#31725064. He is marked incorrectly on his 15x scan picture as well as density scan picture as a female rather than a male. His 15X scan shows large fiber clusters mostly uniform in shape and placement. His true density is a freakish 107.73 follicles SQ MM of skin and his S/P ratio is 12.6 to 1. Note his high level 4 of 4 gland presence as the grey areas on the S/P and 250X scans. I would expect brightness of his fibers and this level of gland presence seems to be a strongly passed male genetic trait. 100 secondary fibers average 13.9 microns while 50 primary fibers average 17.4 microns for a spread of only 3.5 microns

EPD’s
Jubilee’s 2014 EPD’s place him in the top 1% for 4 traits.


We got 10 crias from him, all with extremely fine fleece. from white to True black with all colors in between.

Having one of his son ( Shalimar Vetiver) breeding at the farm and being limited by Warwick law, on the quantity of alpacas we are offering you this incredible price...buying 1/2 of him (our part as we co-own him with Tierra prometida)will be paid with just 2 breedings!
