SRS Alpaca Breeding System
The SRS® breeding system, developed by Dr. Jim Watts in the 1980s, has
been used successfully to improve fleece quantity and quality in
Merino sheep and Angora goats by selecting for increased fibre density
and fibre length. If an animal grows more fibres (density) and if
those fibres are longer, then it will produce more weight of fleece.
The higher density also reduces the mean fibre diameter and the
variation in fibre diameter of the fleece. More recently, these
selection techniques have been used successfully by alpaca breeders to
improve fleece quantity and quality whilst moving rapidly towards
eliminating "guard hair".
AGE - Across-Herd Genetic Evaluation
Every year Walkley Fields submits all the genetic traits of each of our individual alpacas to the Alpaca Association. Genetic factors are very important in determining breeding improvement, and different alpacas vary in their ability to deliver genetic improvement to their offspring.
