Shepherd's Creek El Zorro is the beautiful son of StudMasterTM El Toro (deceased). He has grown to closely resemble his sire in stature, and sports a dense, crimpy, bright fleece that feels like butter. Zorro's dam is Brookhollow's Carmela, the very fine fleeced daughter of true black Chinchero.
In the show ring, he has been proclaimed by Mike Safley, Wade Gease and Amanda Vandenbosch to have both the finest fiber and the longest staple length in the class . He was placed 1st as a Juvenile in a class of 12 at the North American Alpaca Show, and was a close contender for Reserve Champion. As a yearling Zorro placed second at the Empire Alpaca Extravaganza behind a full accoyo Championship winner. There were 14 alpacas in the class.
Zorro's first two cria are on the ground and both carry his excellent fleece characteristics. El Zorro's Jazzman is covered with butter-soft fleece with very high frequency crimp. He'll begin his show career this spring. Zorro's fineness, combined with his density and brightness is what we are striving for in our breeding programs.
