Pedro's Pride Alpacas Win More Ribbons

Chehalis, WA. July 23, 2006: For Immediate Release--

Pedro's Pride Ranch took two of the top honors in the fleece show at Alpaca Affaire Northwest 2006. Kenai of Pend Oreille (son of Premier's Absolute) took second place in the juvenile fawn colored division. The judge commented on the staple length and crimp of this gorgeous fleece.

Leila, a consistent ribbon winner, took third in the white division that included all age groups 2 years and older. Leila is six.

Leila and Pedro (also a six year old) had the highest scores of any of the white alpacas for Fineness and Handle. To us, these scores are noteworthy because our breeding program is focused toward developing fine fiber with density. Recall that Pedro's annual production of fleece is 12 pounds, yet it retains it brightness throughout and is quite fine and soft to the touch even at this age.

We are proud of of these three animals. Pedro is available now at introductory prices for breeding and we hope Kenai will be available for the 2007 season. We will finance and all prices are negotiable.

Pedro and Leila have a 2006 cria that we think will be a show-stopper. Paloma of Pend Oreille has long, silky fleece and is conformationally correct. We will show her starting at the 2007 fall season. Her brother, Pablo, (also a Pedro cria) whose fleece is quite dense and cimpy is for sale now. He is weaned and we may bring him to Fiber Odessy in October as an alpaca for sale or trade.
