Fleece (3rd): 22.30µ SD 4.90 CV 22.00% EP Cambridge Samson has been imported from Australia. He was bred there by EP Cambridge Alpaca Stud and born on the 28th August 2005 Pedigree EP Cambridge Samson's genetics are sourced from Australia’s latest Elite Ancestor. EP Cambridge Samson was sired by EP Cambridge Peruvian Spartacus, seen by many leading Australian alpaca breeders as the new number one Herdsire available in Australia. Show Results EP Cambridge Samson was awarded Reserve Champion Intermediate Male at the 2006 Royal Adelaide Show. On his arrival in the UK he was shown just once, at the 2008 British Alpaca Society - Spring Alpaca Fiesta, he was awarded Champion White Male and subsequently the SUPREME CHAMPION award. Fleece His fleece is simply stunning, the fleece picture gives an idea of the character present. His fleece is solid white and uniform in colour throughout. The crimp is high in amplitude with a medium frequency. The staples are very individual, all highly aligned and very well organized. The character of the fleece is amazing, but the brightness of his fleece has amazed breeders who have examined it. Skin Biopsy Analysis In 2008, skin biopsy testing was carried out by Ian Watt of Elite Alpaca Breeding Systems in the USA. EP Cambridge Samson recorded a Follicle Density of 56.94/mm2 with a Secondary/Primary Follicle Ratio of 12.8:1 This reveals his exceptionally high density and low ratio of guard hair. Commenting on EP Cambridge Samson’s skin biopsy analysis, Ian Watt is quoted as saying “This male shows good density supported by a very good secondary to primary ratio, indicating that this is a male with good prospects as a superior sire.” Attributes EP Cambridge Samson is already making a huge contribution to the future of the Wellground Alpaca herd with the birth of superior cria in 2008. EP Cambridge Samson is showing homozygous traits especially for colour. His offspring to date are all solid white, his brightness and bold crimp are replicated in his progeny. EP Cambridge Samson would be an excellent choice for the breeder who is considering adding crimp and brightness into their herd and at the same time looking to reduce the primary fibre ratio in their offspring.
