For those who appreciate fine dense fleece, Studmaster El Toro makes a lasting impression. His correct frame, true-to-type head and commanding presence are sure to catch your eye. The mark of a superior alpaca is the ability to retain fineness. El Toro does. When Cameron Holt of Australia first saw El Toro, he remarked on how fine he was even at 9 years of age. And today, he still produces fiber competitive with the finest alpacas in America. Cameron Holt compared El Toro's fleece to the Hemingway fleece style and quality, finding them remarkably similar. As alpacas age, their fleece becomes coarser, crimp broadens and may disappear altogether, but superior alpacas such as El Toro retain their crimp, low micron count and exquisite handle. He is a superior breeding male. El Toro's award winning cria are easy to spot in any show ring since he stamps out carbon copies. For this we have given him the nickname Xerox. That's top-quality genetics at work. El Toro represents a picture of the herd that diligent breeders can build here in the U.S.

A great breeder, excellent credentials, affordable price.
