Pperuvian Irma B4027   

White, 122665, Full Peruvian

Selected as the first pick in the second importation, Irma’s luster and lock were immediately obvious. She was transported back to Spokane and arrived the day of the first Alpaca Showcase, judged by Don Julio Barreda. Her owners carried Irma, who would not lead, to the show ring and drug her around the arena. She was matted and dirty, but when Don Julio opened her fleece and looked at her luster, he grinned broadly at her new owners. Irma was awarded first place; her first and only show experience.

Irma has been on a small farm and under bred. She has only thrown seven cria since her importation. Two of those have gained notoriety including Tagi of Legacy Hills, co-owned by Latah Creek Alpacas and Chelsea Farms, who took First Place and Color Champion at AOBA Nationals in 2001,as well as first place and Color champion at Alpaca Western Extravanza. Irma was purchased in 2003 by SunRock Suris.

There are many superlatives used to describe exceptional herdsires and all of them apply to Pperuvian Inca. A remarkable, pre-potent import, Inca has proven himself repeatedly, consistently throwing extreme fineness of fleece, glaring luster and escellent definition of lock.At the end of the 2004 show season, we counted 17 champions and reserve champions a major US shows, including AOBA Nationals, the AAA Futurity, Alpaca Western Extravaganza, the International Alpaca Odyssey, as well as multiple championships at other shows. At the time of his importation, Inca had a micron count of 17; at the age of 10, his micron count was 24. Inca has been a pillar in the breeding program at Latah Creek where his book is closed.
