ELITE MAXIMUS IS CLOSED TO OUTSIDE BREEDINGS AT THIS TIME At 12 yrs old his 2013 histogram is STILL 19 micron! The Elite Maximus is one of those few animals who possess instant name recognition in the alpaca world. His reputation as a herdsire, and before that, in the show ring, is second to none. For many years he was the linchpin of Park View Alpacas' huacaya breeding program, and his many offspring have carried his low micron count and incredibly dense buttery fleece to victory in the showring. In 2011 Park View Alpacas went to the AOBA National Show with four huacayas that had been sired by The Elite Maximus – they we MAXED out! 1st Place Get of Sire! 1st Place Produce of Dam! Judges’ Choice Female Huacaya! We don’t believe any other Huacaya breeder has ever matched these results. Two of his offspring were available at the 2011 Prestige Alpaca Auction, including 1 of his Judge’s Choice daughters – Camilina. This was a unique opportunity to add this particular combination of genetics to your herd! All told, offspring of The Elite Maximus have earned 25 Color Champion and Reserve Color Champion banners, 4 Judges’ Choice Awards, and 2 IAO Best Head awards. That’s just for halter classes. In fleece classes you’ll find a Supreme Champion, 6 Color and Reserve Champion banners, Best Crimp awards and Most Uniform Breeding Program awards. And of course, that’s just to date. Next year is coming! The list of The Elite Maximus’ offspring and their accomplishments is considerable. Of most immediate recognitions were the Prestige Auction headliners, Camilina, who sold for $55,000 as a 2nd Generation Color Champion and Judges’ Choice female huacaya. Don’t forget Cambria, who sold for $20,000 and 2011 International Alpaca Odyssey Best Head and highest score Walking Fleece winner. The Elite Maximus started his illustrious show career when he was only 8 months old, winning Res. COLOR CHAMPION at the 2002 Columbia Alpaca Breeders Association show. He then went on to win the JUDGE’S CHOICE Award at the Canadian International Fleece Show and the 2006 AWE fleece show. The Local, Regional, National and International awards and ribbons started stacking up from there! The Elite Maximus transitioned from the show ring to herdsire, that those awards were just the beginning of an amazing, award-winning dynasty? With the 1/2 interest sale of The Elite Maximus with our new partners, Irish Meadows Alpacas, we have decided to close The Elite Maximus to outside breeding. We do and will have many females now bred to him and offspring on the farm for sale. Stop by and take a look! You won't be disappointed.

Meet a 7 time champion and a Judges Choice Champion at the large Minnesota Expo! Already an 8 time blue ribbon winner (out of 8 showings, 3 Color Champions and 3 Reserve Color Champions, AND ONE JUDGES CHOICE all as a juvi, this girl is something special! Do you think she takes after her 15 time champion brother? So you are wondering why the name......Javelin's dam Carousel was due during the Futurity show this year. During the long ride to OK City, an oldies station played America's big hit, Sister Golden Hair, several times. That song is a favorite, so I vowed that if Carousel had a girl, she would be named Sister Golden Hair. Appropriate for a fawn, don't you think? And the cria was both fawn and female! She arrived on the Saturday of the Futurity, so timing was everything. This little girl has big shoes to fill. Her golden hair might be like her big brother, Javelin, a 15 time champion male now breeding. Or she might be like big brother Renegade, a 6 time champion during last show season. Either way, we say that she will for sure be a multiple champion. No doubt about it! And did we mention her sire is an 8 time champion? Sister Golden Hair has a spot in our foundation herd for as long as she wishes. Update: Sister Golden Hair just delivered her second black female from Jacob Black in June of 2014. Her black female from Jacob born in June of 2013 won the 2014 Reserve Black female color championship at the Futurity in April. Can we dare hope for both of them to win at the same show next year? Time will tell!
