Waratah Flats Achilles co-owned with Aquaviva Alpaca Stud

Sired by the well known, Kaihere Peruvian Ven-Chura, a multiple broad ribbon winner himself and first in the sires progeny at the 2005 Expo. WF Achilles is out of a super fine, medium fawn, imported Peruvian dam, Waratah Flats Juanita, who is still only 21.7 micron in her 8th fleece, with a CF of 95%. Excellent fawn genetics on both sides.

Waratah Flats Achilles is a solid frame, upright male, with a fantastic covering of soft handling, ultra fine fleece. Still only 19.36 micron in his second fleece, he has only moved a fraction of a micron between his first and second fleeces. He has a beautifully structured fleece, with well aligned bundling, great lustre and a deep, high frequency crimp style along the whole staple. All this and great density too, with his skirted 2nd fleece weighing 3.165 kg.

His curve factor is:

• 1st Fleece - curve of 47 (SGS - OFDA 2000)
• 2nd Fleece - curve of 52 (SGS - OFDA 2000)
• 3rd Fleece - curve of 51.2 (SGS - OFDA 2000)

So if you are looking for quality fawn genetics, this is the boy for you.
