Daughter Golden Girl took the Blue Ribbon & Color Champion at the MIAF 2011 Show here in Michigan! We challenge you to find a herdsire whose first 7 offspring average a micron of 18.07, SD 3.82, CV 21.34, CF 99.46. And no, they were not tested at birth, but rather all were 7 to 8 months of age and eating grain! All have extreme brightness, zipper crimp, fineness and density. Here are the stats. Testing by Ian Watt. Georgie Boy-white 18.3 SD 4 CV 21.8 CF 99.4 8 months of age Vivienne-white 18.7 SD 4.1 CV 22 CF 98.8 8 months Golden Girl-lt.fawn 16.6 SD 3.4 CV 20.5 CF 100 8 months Spitfire-white 18.2 SD 3.8 CV 20.6 CF 99.4 8 months Venturo-white 17.1 SD 3.4 CV 19.9 CF 100 7 months Ventura-white 18.7 SD 4.4 CV 23.5 CF 98.6 7 months Vista-white 18.9 SD 3.7 CV 21.1 CF 100 7 months Vortex is a rare Full Accoyo male from Multi-Champion producing parents. We are thrilled to have acquired him from Pleasant Hills Alpacas in Oregon where we had a choice of 3 Accoyo Elite sons to choose from. When Vortex was conceived outside breedings to his sire Accoyo Elite were available at $6000 each. Elite is now closed to outside breedings at Crescent Moon Ranch where he resides. His micron at 10 years of age was an impressive 22.8. You will find lots of references to Accoyo Elite in the Snowmass Alpacas breeding program and brochures. For your convenience, we also accept Visa/MC/Discover The future of our industry is superior fiber. Let us help you get on that path. Here are all of Vortex's micron data to date: 2008: Micron 17.8, SD 3.8, CV 21.4, >30 0.6%. Sample taken 2/11/08 @ 18 months of age. 2009: Micron 22.4, SD 4.6, CV 20.3.

Well I'm pleased that I persuaded one of my dear clients to let me have Melina back along with her new Vortex son, Vista. That combo of her background matched up to our Full Accoyo boy Vortex should produce stunning offspring every year with the fineness, crimp, brightness and uniformity we strive for. You have whites, and you have some REALLY nice whites. 1/4 Accoyo Melina fits into the really nice category. No surprise when you see her dam and sire, and grandsire (Altiplano Gold). Her fleece took 3rd place honors out of 9 entries in the very competitive white class at MIAF 2007 so we were very pleased. Melina has always been in excellent health, high IgG at birth, mom had lots of milk so her growth record is excellent. Excellent bite and conformation.
