NEVERSUMMER'S LUCILLE
Lucille has simply a stunning fleece! It is exceptionally dense with unworldly brightness. And with a SD of 2.9 and CV of 16.3 it also has a luscious handle. What an amazing end product it will produce!
At the 2011 IAO, under a panel of 3 International judges, Lucille received the 1st Place (above the Futurity Black Color Champion!). Then, in her first fleece show, she was awarded the Reserve Color Champion (Scoring just 1/2 a point below the Color Champion!)
Because Lucille's fiber IS so silky, her density is hard to assess while on her body. It doesn't have the "poofy" volume that is so often mis-leading. But when you go to lift the bag of it you are amazed at the weight. Very much like a Suri's fleece.
Lucille is a daughter of the legendary Aussie .38 Special (17x Champion, 2x Judge's Choice, Herdsire of the Year; at the age of eight, he won the “Spirit of the Industry” recognizing the lasting quality of his fleece). Her paternal grandsire, Victor’s Hemiaccoyo Casanova, requires no introduction! Casanova has consistently produced offspring that are champions in the halter and fleece shows including his two most well-known sons - 10x Champion, Aussie Guns-N-Roses and 17x Champion, 2x Judge’s Choice winner, Aussie .38 Special. Casanova’s sire, PPeruvian Victor, was the youngest male that arrived in the Peruvian importation of 1994, and in the words of the late Dr. Jim Vickers, had the “most beautiful” fleece and was the only alpaca in that importation that ranked as a 4+ in fleece.
Notable genetics also include the following: Peruvian Hemingway, PPPeruvian Royal Fawn, Show Me The Money, Aussie Harmony Rose, & Hannahruh.
Lucille was bred to AspenAlpacas Earl Grey for a November 2025 cria.
