California Alpacas
 HVLA
Black 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: His mean fibre diameter
age 24 months is 22.4 microns (20.6 for secondary follicles)
and his follicle density is 38.2. 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 (nearly four years old)!!
Micron results at 6 years old:
22.4, 5,5, 21.4. 13.7

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 crias on the ground.
Renaisssance Ridge Claudia (DB) is the only one to have shown
in 2008, taking a Reserve Color Championship at Alpacamania.
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!
