David and Vicky Brooks of Heatherbrook Farms state "Compadre is a magnificent true black herdsire from strong black genetics. He is one of the best alpacas ever produced at Alpacas de la Patagonia. Now with numerous offspring on the ground, he is proving his prepotency. He has stamped out in every cria his beautiful head, strong bone structure, solid conformation, fineness, extreme luster, crimp & lock definition.
Compadre has extremely strong black color genetics. He has produced 100% black when bred to black and twice when bred to grey has produced grey. When bred to whites, fawns and browns he has thrown black 41% of the time and so far has always produced cria darker than color of the dam. Combine these traits with his 8 lb shear wt, an adjusted spinning fineness of 18 microns at 2 years of age and it's clear that Compadre is a World Class Herd Sire, a must have in any breeding program.
Compadre currently has 206 registered offspring on the ground.
Compadre is co-owned with Alpacas de la Patagonia "
