Description This all black, all Peruvian herdsire is all male. He has settled several females, each one on the first breeding, and he has 16 beautiful crias on the ground.

Eleven of Expresso's crias are females. His crias range in colors of white, gray, dark fawn, dark brown and black.

Expresso's fleece is unusually fine for a black Peruvian, and his conformation is excellent. With that rare combination of a colorful ancestry and pure Peruvian genetics, Expresso can be counted on to add both color and quality to your herd. Also, Expresso's crias have a lot of spirit and good temperament.

Expresso has only sired 2 males on our farm. One of the males was sold in 2003 and the second was born in 2005, who was WCA Sweet William. We sheared on May 27, 2006, and Sweet William's fiber was sent in for a micron count and it came back at 18.9. On Sweet William's second shearing in 2007, the micron count was 19.3. Sweet William's fleece placed 2nd in the MOPACA INVITATIONAL ALPACA SHOW in the Handcrafter's Spin Off.

If Expresso does not produce a female cria for for you, he will give it a second go at no charge.
