Ruby was our first cria born at Hackberry Hill Farm, and what a beautiful female she has turned out to be! She is sound and has great conformation and balance. She has a squared-off appearance with four straight legs, graceful and well proportioned with the neck being two-thirds of the length of the back and the legs matching the length of the neck and well covere with fiber from the top of her head to the tip of her toes. Her head is well balanced, triangular and symmetrically formed.
Her fleece has extreme density and fineness and is very crimpy. She has a nice handle with a uniformity of micron throughout the staple/fleece. Her 2009 staple length is 81mm. She has nice luster or brightness. Her sheer weight in 2009 was 7.5 pounds for blanket, neck and britch.
Her awards include: 1st in Juv. White Female (of 10) at the 2005 Great Midwest Alpaca Festival; 4th Yrl. White Female (of 10) at the 2005 Northern Illinois Alpaca Extravaganza; and 1st Yrl. White Female (of 8) at the 2006 Great Midwest Alpaca Festival.
