Apollo of IPH

The fleece on this guy - WOW!! Rocky is the offspring of a Crystal Spartan son, Crystal K-O and a NM Beethoven daughter, VAC Beethoven's Vienna. He has absolutely exquisite, high end fleece. A 15.9 micron with an SD of 2.5 and 0.1 over 30! He has incredible density and very tight crimp. The handle of this fleece is out of this world. Rocky is short. His frame is quite solid and put together correctly he is just short. This has caused him to be placed lower in halter classes but the Judges ALWAYS say his fleece is phenomenal and if he were taller he would be standing at the top of the class. He does extremely well in walking fleece classes. I really wish we could have gotten him in more walking fleece shows! He has a beautiful head with fleece coverage in abundance. Rocky is a sweetheart and has been shown in performance class by our Granddaughter. We love this guy and absolutely plan to use him on some of our females. We will choose females of good stature in hopes to keep their size but if we can get this fleece on his offspring..... we will have champions without a doubt. Rocky has been exposed to a couple of females. We are waiting on confirmations of pregnancy. WOW! Rocky was entered into the Michigan International Alpaca Fest at 4 + years old because they needed more fawn males to complete championships. He took a 2nd in the mature halter class and in Walking Fleece - HE TOOK COLOR CHAMPION! The Judge said she was quite impressed with his fleece for a 4 year old male. He scored a 19 out of 20 in Fineness/Handle, a 9.5 out of 10 absence of guard hair and a 9 out of 10 for Character/Crimp! Rocky now has offspring on the ground and he has passed on his elite fleece! UPDATE Rocky's daughter Fight Like A Girl is a Champion!
