Skin biopsies are an excellent tool for the serious alpaca breeder.  Rather than relying on subjective eye or hand evaluation, a biopsy can tell you the average number of primary and secondary follicles in a millimeter of skin; the number of glands present; the average micron of both primary and secondary follicles; the organization of the follicles present; and much more.  Skin biopsies are an excellent means of evaluating potential breeding stock.  The renowned Dr. Norm Evans is donating two alpaca skin biopsy evaluations to this year's auction.  A gift certificate redeemable with Dr. Evans will be emailed to the winning bidder.
