IAR:  70814
DOB:  1/5/04
COLOUR:  Solid White

Nemisis is an 'Ultrafine-Genetics' stud male with solid white full Peruvian bloodlines, who has maintained an ultrafine fleece for his first 3 fleeces & has only hit 20 micron on his 5th fleece! See his fleece stats. 
He has a history of stay fine alpacas in his genetics, with his granddam only 20 micron on her 11th fleece & both his dam & her sire Jolimont Romeo holding fine microns as they aged.

Nemisis has a solid white full Peruvian pedigree, with his paternal Grandsire being the famous Jolimont Conquistador renowned for his density.

Nemisis's fleece exhibits defined crimp from skin to tip even as he ages, with lustre & an incredibly soft handle. He has maintained a low micron and also a low SD & has been grid tested on several occasions & exhibits a very even fleece micron throughout his fleece.
Despite having a fine micron Nemisis still carries a reasonable fleece weight & length, cutting nearly 2kgs of saddle fleece alone on his 3rd fleece.
He has excellent conformation with very strait front legs & holds himself in a proud upright manner. He is fine despite being well fed daily & holding a very good body score.
Nemisis appears to be passing on his stay fine traits to his progeny who started arriving in early 2008. They are exhibiting mainly ultrafine or superfine first fleeces, with low SD's, defined crimp & bundling on attractive & well conformed frames.

Oregon is one of Nemisis's first born progeny & he took out the Reserve Jnr Champion Male on his first showing, beating the winner of the Jnr White Male class to do so!
The judge commended him on his incredable soft fleece & defined crimp & bundling.
International Fleece judge Cameron Holt stated 2 weeks later at another show that this young male exhibited the "sort of fineness we need to breed for the future" High praise indeed for this young Nemisis son!
