<strong>Name:</strong> Accoyo America Enterprise<br />
<strong>ARI:</strong> #31097420<br />
<strong>DOB:</strong> 3 July 2007<br />
<strong>Color: </strong> Medium Fawn<br />
<strong>Sire:</strong> Accoyo America Centurion<br />
<strong>Dam:</strong> Little Talara<br />
<strong>Stud Fee: </strong> Breedings closed to outside</p>
<p>You should see his babies—criated to amaze!  You&#8217;re gonna want to breed your girls to him&#8211;his cria are really extraordinary. And  they range in color from white to fawn to brown and now even black!</p>
<p>Forty-six months of age for at our 2011 shearing, medium fawn and only 0.7% greater than 30. Amazing! It&#8217;s all about &#8220;lingering fineness&#8221; and he has just given new meaning to it.<br />
<strong>2008</strong> &#8212; 17.8/3.2/18.0/0.5<br />
<strong>2009 </strong>&#8211; 19.5/3.6/18.7/0.6<br />
<strong>2010</strong> &#8212; 20.6/3.5/16.8/0.7<br />
<strong>2011</strong> &#8212; 19.0/3.1/16.4/0.7</p>
<p>We had searched far and wide to find a dark colored full Accoyo male to add to our breeding program; and it couldn&#8217;t be just any dark Accoyo male. Our criteria were pretty stringent. Correct conformation was a given, along with a perfect bite; genetics had to be some of the best in the industry. His fiber had to be super fine but he had to have remarkable density and a long staple length&#8211;it&#8217;s not always easy to find all three characteristics co-existing in the same animal. And, it had to be radiantly bright with tight crimp. Not only all that, but he couldn&#8217;t share the same bloodlines as most of our females. We were able to find all these qualities in this male.</p>
<p>Enterprise’s achievements in the ring and his spin-off entries have made our breeding program proud.  We were particularly honored when he was awarded first place and highest scoring fawn huacaya in the 2010 AOBA National Spin-Off.  Since luxurious yarn is the ultimate goal in breeding alpacas, we feel that these honors are solid proof that our breeding program is right on track.</p>
<p>He has already proven that he has a great future in our Accoyo breeding program and for others who wish to add density AND fineness to their offspring. His fleece is characterized by exquisite independent bundling and brightness with a sharply defined crimp that extends to the belly and head.</p>

<p>Not Sure What To Do With your Breeding Program? Get A CLUE with A.L. Paca&#8217;s Exclusivo&#8230;aka Clue!</p>
<p>When the gavel fell, &amp; the auctioneer yelled sold, the 4 farms partnering up on this amazing male were ecstatic! We had already fallen for his proud stance, picture perfect conformation, and fleece that alpaca breeders, (&amp; fiber junkies like me), dream of&#8230;then there&#8217;s the genetics to drool over! His 3/4 Alianza sire, Jericho, needs no introduction, the name speaks for itself. His dam is medium rose grey, 18X Champion, A.L. Paca&#8217;s Chirri Upper. Chirri Upper is a daughter of the notorious 9X Champion &amp; 12X Get of Sire winner, Simba of A.L. Paca&#8217;s &amp; dark silver grey, 9X Champion Enchantment&#8217;s Chiricahua.  This guy is SPECIAL &amp; we are all so excited to have him in our breeding programs. Clue will be an alpaca snowbird! He will split his summer (May-Nov) between Bear Garden Farms in Capon Bridge, WV &amp; Ashland Alpacas West in Ashland, VA &amp; will spend his winter (Nov-May) in Malabar, FL at The Marsh Menagerie &amp; Meadow Pointe Alpacas. If you are serious about exponentially improving your crop of cria next year, get a Clue! With his strong color potential &amp; his family tree filled with champions, this is the male you&#8217;ve been looking for! We are offering introductory breeding to Clue for $1500 to give serious breeders an opportunity to infuse their herd with this male&#8217;s phenomenal genes for a very reasonable price&#8230;but this deal won&#8217;t last forever. Don&#8217;t wait too long to book your breeding before the price goes up&#8230;and it will&#8230;because EXCLUSIVO&#8217;S FIRST CRIAS HAVE ARRIVED!  Colors range from beige to true black and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them have buttery wet fiber that you need sunglasses to look at with knotty little bundles all over their bodies. This is what good breeding begets&#8230;a field of dreams!!!</p>
<p>Exclusivo is co-owned with Bear Garden Farms, Meadow Pointe Alpacas &amp; The Marsh Menagerie.</p>

<strong>Dam:</strong> Maple Brook (Accoyo) Shabu<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Stud Fee:</strong> $1,500</p>
<p>AOV Accoyo Royal Accolade has developed nicely into just the herdsire we were anticipating.  He has wonderful conformation and a correct bite along with beautifully consistent crimpy fiber with the matchstick bundling that his dam has. We have shown him in numerous shows and he has placed in the all that he was entered in &#8211; a consistent ribbon winner!  Plus, he has racked up plenty of blues in the many spin-off competitions that we have entered his fleece in, even being designated highest score in the white color group.  And, since luxurious yarn is the ultimate goal in breeding alpacas, we feel that these honors are solid proof that our breeding program is right on track.</p>
<p>We were elated to get his full Accoyo dam&#8217;s histogram back following our May 2011 shearing. Shabu has beautiful fleece with matchstick bundling and seems to have made quite a contribution to this young male&#8217;s fleece already. Staying power is the key to success in this business and Royal&#8217;s dam certainly has it. At the age of seven, as a breeding female and producer of some of our finest offspring, Shabu has an AFD of 21.6/4.1/19.0/2.7% greater than 30&#8211;precisely what you should be breeding for.</p>
<p>He is eager to breed and would certainly infuse some exciting genetics into your herd&#8211;Royal Fawn, Bolivar, Vengador and Godfather. Now that&#8217;s a power-packed pedigree, and, certainly one that would enhance any breeding program.</p>

<p><strong>Stud Fee:</strong> $3,000</p>
<p>Brilliance &#8220;struts his stuff&#8221; and promises to pass his genetics to his offspring &#8211; including his perfect conformation and incredible fiber. His Grandsire Guellermo, and Sire Ion have each produced to the next level, and Brilliance is here for his command performance as a high end, light colored herdsire.  Brilliance&#8217;s high frequency crimp boasts incredible fineness and when tested came in with an AFD of 15.8, SD of 4.0, CV of 25.2% and only 1.2% &gt;30!!! His fiber stats are not the only area where he excels though. His superior density and compact frame complements his solid bone and show stopping presence. Brilliance&#8217;s sire, the well-known full Alianza male Peruvian Ion, was a high selling male at auction in 2005. Ion passed many traits on to his son including his great temperament and the ability to produce show stopping cria. Brilliance&#8217;s dam is a full Accoyo female named Gilda that was imported to this country, via Peru, due to her amazing density. When Gilda was matched up with Ion, his fineness and her density combined and the future of the industry was born, Brilliance. As one of the founding males in our breeding program “Golden Sires of Desire” we are pleased to offer a breeding to this male at the VAOBA Expo.  Of his many registered offspring, Brilliance is running at just about 60% female.  Give us a call and find out why everyone who has a cria sired by Brilliance is so excited about their results!</p>
<h3>Awards</h3>
<p>Although Brilliance’s former owners did not show him, a great example of the quality of his offspring is in the male “Mile High Bandimere” who earned 5 Light Color Championship banners during 2007 and 2008.  Bandimere’s Fiber stats as a yearling were: AFD 16.3, SD:3.5, CV:21.5% &gt;30%: 0.6%</p>

<p>Just as Jennifer &amp; Ian Lutz took the selection of Man in Black to represent them at the National Elite Auction seriously; Ernie &amp; Barbara made the decision this male was the quality and caliber required to represent their breeding program. This is one special boy!<br />
Like many of his paternal siblings Man in Black is unmistakably a son of Champion Fawn Herdsire, CCNF Royal Ring of Fire. With the possible exceptions of Legacy Gold and Archangel no other male in Cas-Cad-Nac has been capable of stamping both their phenotype and fleece characteristics into their offspring with such amazing consistency as Ring of Fire.</p>
<p>What is not widely known however is that though Man In Black and his sire before him owe much to the genetic power of Snowmass Royal Rose (MiB&#8217;s paternal grandsire) and Peruvian Hemingway (MiB&#8217;s paternal great grandsire) they owe at least an equal debt to Ring of Fire&#8217;s dynamic dam, 5Peruvian Margarita. It is from his paternal granddam that Man In Black so clearly inherited the head, heavy bone, and unmistakable presence. And that is still only part of the equation!  Then there is the matter of the silky black fleece that he inherited from his dam, Victoria. The same fleece qualities that made Victoria a multiple Champion have been passed on to Man In Black as well as his full sibling, Concordia.</p>
<p>Man in Black’s crias starting arriving in August 2010 and like their sire have a beautiful head, heavy bone, with silky fleece. Of the 15 cria born to-date, out of fawn to black dams, all have been black except for one brown. If you are looking for potent, proven genetics in a highly decorated dark colored Herdsire then Man in Black is for you!<br />
We are proud to announce that Man in Black just won Junior Herdsire of the Year at the 2011 MAPACA Jubilee.</p>

<strong>Name:</strong> Crescent Moon’s Sixtus<br />
<strong>ARI:</strong> #30842595<br />
<strong>DOB:</strong> 9 June 2007<br />
<strong>Color:</strong> True Black<br />
<strong>Sire:</strong> 4Peruvian Legacy 6010<br />
<strong>Dam:</strong> MA Selasia<br />
<strong>Stud Fee:</strong> $3,500</p>
<p>Sixtus is the One and Only, Full Peruvian, Black, Male offspring, sired by 4Peruvian Legacy!  Combine his pedigree, outstanding show record, and fantastic fleece stats -NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY!</p>
<p>In addition to Sixtus being the son of the great 4Peruvian Legacy, his dam, Selasia (bay black), is a direct daughter of Kenamori Gold. Kenamori Gold was rated a 10 out of 10 on import. Selasia&#8217;s Dam (Selena)is a TB girl (born during import) from Alianza Macusani. WHAT A COMBINATION!   She has produced Champions and Sixtus has kept her record going strong! By his show record you can see that Sixtus is following in his parent&#8217;s footsteps!</p>
<p>After a visit to Scott, Debbie and Sixtus (at Crescent Moon) we made the plunge and he is now standing Stud in Western Pa !  Put your hands on him and you will understand why we bought him to cross with our other outstanding blacks. Sixtus is fine and dense with architecture that fills his fleece throughout. His beautiful fleece is held up by a frame of captivating strength and machismo which exhibits perfect balance and proportions along with monstrous bone density.</p>
<p>How about we say it like this…..”We`d like all of our studs to be built like Sixtus”!</p>
<p>Now you have a chance to breed to a very unique Full Peruvian alpaca with gigantic marketing clout behind him and equally impressive herd improvement tools locked in his DNA. Couple that with his winnings, and what more could you want from your stud than to be an &#8220;instant business plan&#8221;.</p>

<strong>Name:</strong> ELK Corazon de la Rosa<br />
<strong>ARI:</strong> #31607988<br />
<strong>DOB:</strong> 14 April 2009<br />
<strong>Color:</strong> Medium Fawn<br />
<strong>Sire:</strong> MFI Peruvian Titan’s Clash<br />
<strong>Dam: </strong> HDF Ginger Rogers<br />
<strong>Stud Fee:</strong> Closed to outside breeding</p>
<p>This male has an incredible color which Julie Skinner of Snowmass Alpacas would call a “fawn grey.” ELK Corazon de la Rosa carries the remarkable genetics of 6Peruvian Accoyo Titan and PPeruvian Dracula through his sire, MFI Peruvian Titan’s Clash, and those of 4Peruvian Mataddor and MFI Peruvian Black Mesquite through his dam, HDF Ginger Rogers.  Combined, these genetics have yielded a male with correct confirmation and (in the words of one Fleece Judge) “a stunning fleece!!! So fine, soft, highly aligned, dense and bright!! YES!!”  We recommend using ELK Corazon de la Rosa on any female of color.  Although he’s still young, he has 5 confirmed pregnancies to date.</p>

<p>Wooly head and stunning fleece in dark rose grey, full Peruvian – out of Aga Khan! See his full brother Kubla Khan and his sister’s Aga Khan Daughter, Khan’s Cocoabean….ALL are dark rose grey and look almost identical. This family line certainly throws consistency of color! Amaro’s sire “The Aga Khan” is an 11 time Championship winner and 5 time Get-of-Sire winner. He is descended from Shere Khan possibly the most famous herdsire in Peru, who sired the Vendagor/Capac line. Aga Khan has many award winning offspring who continue his legacy of success. Amaro is stunning and his rich color comes from his maternal side. His Dam’s sire is a TB and his grandsire is an award winning Dark Silver Grey. He is even more beautiful than his full brother! Reserve Color Champion at the 2010 National Show competing against silver greys. See our website or his Powerpoint for Full Show Record. 2010 &#8211; 2011 has been a great year at Fireweed!</p>
