Northern
California Alpacas
Colusa Riverside Alpaca Ranch is proud to offer alpacas with some of the most outstanding alpaca Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) for fiber fineness (AFD) in the nation. Our herdsires are ranked in the top 1% of the ARI-EPDs for AFD. Our herdsires will improve fiber fineness in their offspring more than 99% of all alpacas tested by ARI. We have been working hard over the past four years to selectively breed and purchase alpacas to achieve the notable alpaca EPDs we can now offer our customers.
Our herdsire BLUEGRASS PERUVIAN PROPHECY’S EPDs are among the most elite herdsires of our industry. Prophecy’s father, ACCOYO AMERICA APOCALYPSE "is ranked as the #1 white herdsire in the ARI-EPD program—that will produce offspring with the largest reduction of AFD while increasing the most FLEECE WEIGHT." |

Prophecy will produce offspring with the same kinds of reduction in AFD, he will increase fleece weight, but more importantly, Prophecy will improve UNIFORMITY OF AFD across the entire fleece of his offspring. Prophecy is one of only sixty four herdsires in the nation with an EPD to produce offspring with this kind of uniformity of AFD. View our EPDs.
Expected Progeny Differences (EPD's)
EPDs will predict fiber trait outcomes in your offspring. EPDs are the gold standard of all livestock industries, EPD use in the alpaca industry will soon become the gold standard. If you buy a herdsire from us he will be in the top ranking in ARI’s EPD program. We hope you will consider EPDs and Colusa Riverside Alpacas in your breeding decision.
