Sweet Pines Qvale

Sweet Pines Qvale is an outstanding female from elite Peruvian lines that have established fineness in the top 10% of the national herd. EPDs = Top 10% in AFD (fineness) and MC (crimp) along with Top 15% in SF (spin fineness) & MSL (mean staple length)! This girl is going to produce a fleece with unbelievable fineness and ample length year after year. And her offspring are likely to do the same.

Qvale's dam, Sweet Pines Matadora, has replaced her dam as one of our foundation females. Matadora's fleece carries exceptional brightness, length, and fineness, along with fantastic density. Her conformation is correct and she is a great producer/mom. Matadora's sire, San Simeon Suave has EPDs in the top 5% for fineness! He is one of the finest herdsires we have seen and was a good match for our Springs.

Qvale's sire, Espiritu de Tequila (ET), has that ideal alpaca look with square, well balanced conformation, and a very pleasing head. ET's first fleece was 14 microns! Plus he has the density to produce a heavy but wonderfully soft fleece - just exactly what we are looking for. Qvale is conformationally correct in all aspects and has inherited her sire's teddy bear head.

In 2021, we bred Qvale to Daytona's Nocino, a champion bay black sire. They produced a wonderfully charismatic beige daughter, Sweet Pines Tatra. Her fleece is dense, long, and crimpy, and oh so fine. Qvale had more than ample milk for her and was a very attentive mother. We were so pleased with the outcome of this breeding that we did it again for a 2025 cria! Qvale now has a beautiful cinnamon brown female cria by her side.
