This beautiful bay black female is a showstopper. Stunning dark fleece with an incredibly soft handle and great suri luster. Dairy Maid's bloodlines are the tops for black genetics.
Her sire is multi-champion Bluegrass Peruvian Rhythm & Blues who has an outstanding show record and produces champion color offspring. Her dam, Merchant's Creamery is a Captain Morgan daughter, who is one of the most famous dark herdsires. Merchant Creamery won many first places and a reserve champion in her show career. Her genetics include Macgyver, Sierra Bonita's Sargent Pepper, Captain Morgan, DDF Accoyo Armani, PPeruvian Eleuteria, Uribe and Bruxo. Power packed genetics all along both the top and bottom lines.
Dairy Maid won first place at the AlpacaFest West 2015 show and placed second at the competitive California Classic and CABA Classic.
In addition to great fineness, Dairy Maid's fleece exhibits a high degree of luster and independent lock structure, as well as a good level of density.
Her 2017 biopsy from Dr. Norm Evans showed a density of 42.75 with a S/P ratio of 9.3 to 1. She shows level 4 of 4 gland presence and her average SP spread is 10.5. Her biopsy AFD is 20.32 microns. While she has average density, she has great fineness for a bay black. Dr. Evans stated, "she shows excellent fiber stats for a bay black female".

Her Fleece traits were a 5 for uniformity of color (excellent for a black--no white fibers!), 4s for fineness, lock structure and fleece phenotype, 3.5 for luster and handle and 3s for density and uniformity of micron.
