Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Acero Marka

I am quite impressed with our Bolivian lines that we have. Our 2x Grand Champ Bolivian out of canada, MMR Sundown, just gave us an incredibly dense, fine, and very muscular little boy in August out of our full bolivian girl. He is going to be something to see in the show ring this Spring.

As for the Acero Marka lines, if you know the story behind Andy Tillman, you know he was the first to bring in the Suri and Huacayas out of Bolivia. It is my understanding after talking to him and reading a lot of the literature on him that he owned some if not most of the herds and did some incredible things with the Bolivian lines both before and after he had them brought in.

My understanding is that Acero Marka is both the name of a specific herdsire and an alpaca ranch in Bolivia named "Hacienda Acero Marka" that is known for producing alpacas with very fine fiber. However, as far as I have been able to tell, there are no records available for anyone to tell if their full-Bolivian alpaca came from the Hacienda Acero Marka ranch or not.

I just did a search on AlpacaNation for full-Bolivian gray females, and found only 10, and only 5 are rose-gray. One of them is my Bolivian Christina. She's very hardy; still going strong at age 14, pregnant and due in February.
