Northwest Alpacas - Alpaca Information

EPD Based Herdsire Selection

Peruvian Canadar is the proven son of the world famous Hemingway who imprinted his trademark for fineness on the prodigal son. Canadar’s fleece measured 17.6 microns in 1997 and at eight years of age remained under 20 microns at 19.4 in 2004. But Canadar’s claim to fame will be his progeny who are fine, bright examples of huacaya excellence with their high style, crimpy fleece, making grandpa Hemingway proud. His combination of great phenotype, superior genetics, and shocking fleece statistics will undoubtedly carry on his sire’s legacy.
