Theresa Marie - Neck - 5-17-12, Pete Connelly - Que Sera - 1.5 lbs. White Yearling Female Mostly WL2 - about 80%, the rest was WL 4 or Rug. Very consistent, good density, very bright. 2nd cuts not too bad.
Jeanie's Dream - Neck - 5/4/11, Cody Fiefield - Dando Luz Alpacas 1.6 lbs. White Female OMG! beautiful fleece - very badly shorn. Grade 1 - 4" staple - I think it may be under 17! LOTS went to trash due to 2nd cuts. Probably only salvaged about 60 % Super density - very uniform character.
Soleil - Neck - 5-17-12, Pete Connelly - Que Sera 1.2 lbs. White Female Nice Fleece - about equal parts WL1 and WL2. like the crimp style - good uniformity, well organized, great density and brightness.

Benita - Neck - 5-17-12, Pete Connelly - Dando Luz Alpacas 1.1 lbs. White female Lots of variation in micron - strong fibers - sent to rug bag
Beacon - Neck - 5-17-12, Pete Connelly - Dando Luz Alpacas .7 lbs. What female Pretty nice, about a 23 micron but very short - most was under 2" What was suitable for processing is WL3. Not bad for an overweight mom
Treno Relampago - Neck 5-15-11 - Pete Connelly - Dando Luz Alpacas 1.9 lbs White Male - Grade 5, good volume, above average density. Bit of a surprise - he makes nice babies Processed to rug.
Avianna - Neck 5-17-12, Pete Connelly - Que Sera 1.6 lbs White pregnant Female Ooooo-ee oooo-ee baby! Pretty stuff. WL2 - 21 micron maybe and LOTS of it.
