Alpaca Husbandy Breeding & Genetics

Everybody says the same thing about their alpacas. It seems like everything will “improve fineness and increase density” …. if you’re comparing it to a rock that would undoubtedly be true.

“In the day” “B.C.” (Before Computers),… Livestock breeders would have track production results for generations to identify their best-producing animals.

Since computers and the introduction of EPD’s in the alpaca industry, identifying top animals have become easier, quicker, and much more accurate.

Your bottom line as a breeder will largely be determined by how successful you are in achieving desired results in the shortest amount of time.

“DO THE MATH”   EPDs enable you to predict and compare how an animal will perform and fit in among the animals in your herd and production goals.

Are you confused about prices and trying to make sense of it all?

You’re not alone. We hear this question from new and existing breeders alike.  Utilizing EPD’s in your search requirements will keep you focused on value along with price.

EPDs are easy to use and provide the quickest path to achieve desired results. EPD’s are also a great way to explain your breeding program to your customers.
