Pointers to Ponder

is it better to be a piece of history or part of historical change?
class and test sires prior to joining
class and test dams prior to joining
high CV_D’s - attributable perhaps to:

high variability along and between fibres
stretchy / tender fleeces
two staple types
very young alpacas

aim to provide a level plane of nutrition between shearing, whatever it may be
A + B = C may well be the most important equation
you have to have accuracy of tests to build in the quality required. Perhaps some “short term pain for a long term gain”
never forget the second opinion - always purchase subject to an OFDA test
