We are thrilled to have Michelangelo's Accoyo Ascension here at Ideuma Creek. She is a stunning CHAMPION fawn full Accoyo girl with an impressive genotype and a beautiful phenotype.
Ascension comes from great lineage. Her dam is one of North Coast Alpacas best females, Peruvian Matilda. She is a large, white, full Accoyo girl with outstanding coverage. She is the dam to multiple blue ribbon full Accoyo herdsires including El Accoyo Pacifico, a beige herdsire with a shear weight of 12.5 pounds and Accoyo Asante, one of the darkest full Accoyos in the country.
Ascension's sire, El Nino's Accoyo Michelangelo, needs no introduction. He is well known and well respected throughout the alpaca community as one of the best full Accoyo herdsires available. Michelangelo has proven himself not only in the showring, but also with his offspring in the showring. He has produced champion offspring his very first year of breeding. Michelangelo's fiber statistics (16.5 micron) and follicle density results (115/sm) also indicate a superior alpaca.
Knowing Ascension's heritage makes it easy to understand why she is such a beautiful girl - incredible coverage, gorgeous fleece with nice crimp and impressive staple length. To make her even more attractive, Ascension's color genetics indicate she may be able to produce even darker full Accoyo cria. She herself is medium fawn and since Michelangelo has already produced several black cria, Ascension might just be able to do the same herself.
Ascension carries the much sought after colored full Accoyo genetics of Michelangelo, El Nino and Caligula. She is the total package - beautiful, typey phenotype and champion elite genotype.
Judges seem to agree. . . Ascension just took her first championship (out of 26 fleeces!) and fifth blue ribbon! Her Color Championship was won at the AFCNA fleece show - a level 4 show where some of the best fleeces from around the country compete!
In 2010 Ascension delivered her first cria, a gorgeous fawn female that we named Accoyo Cadence when paired with our 8X Champion, Accoyo Invasion. Cadence is everything we had hoped for - bright, crimpy, soft, consistent, dark, and a beautiful typey build. We've, of course, repeated the breeding and are crossing our fingers that these two champions produce another one just like Cadence for us again in 2011.
2011 brought us an INCREDIBLE male, Accoyo Resolute. He's bright, crimpy, dense and fine. We love him. Ascension is bred to Accoyo Stratosphere for her 2012 cria.
