Description We plan to use Arni in our breeding program as his micron counts have been great. In 2007 his micron count was 20.4 and in 2008 it was 20.3.

Arni received a blue ribbon in the 2009 Southern Select Alpaca Show Handcrafters' Spin Off. This is an AOBA certified show.

The spinner of Arni's fiber wrote that his fiber was soft and crimpy with a fabulous hand, tightly crinkled, very soft - nice bounce - pleasant to skin.

This male has great conformation and a good bite. Arnie has definitely inherited the temperatment of his sire, WCA Ohio Buckeye and is very laid back.

Arnie has inherited his fleece from his grand dam, OBS Snow White. All of the crias from this line have had excellent fleece.

Arni has an interesting family tree as his grand sire on his sire's side is 5Peruvian Prestige Picchu 9065, Huacaya-R800682-Peru MF and The Silversmith HST G452, Huacaya-R65537-Chile LSG W, on his dam's family tree.
