Look for Royal Avenger at the Breeders Edge Auction in August! It was a difficult decision but it's one we needed to make. We have decided to sell our interest in Royal Avenger. He has produced some outstanding offspring for us and is a wonderful male with a delightful temperament. The only problem is that we now have too many that are related to Royal Fawn; we are at the point where we need to introduce some new genetics into our herd. You've seen him and you've seen his offspring in the show ring. They are truly remarkable. There's no doubt--he will improve your herd. Royal Avenger has proven to be the next generation of Accoyo excellence to sire a clan of superior offspring. His sire, Royal Fawn, is a producer of champions and one of the highest selling herdsires in history. His dam, Mariah, is also a producer of many ribbon winners. Avenger’s show record is noteworthy with nine blue ribbons, a reserve color champion and two color championships. His offspring have demonstrated that they have what it takes to be champions in the showring, compiling win after win against tough competition. At the age of 10, Avenger maintains a fleece that is extremely dense with bundles and crimp. His coverage is phenomenal from his full bonnet down his strong-boned legs. As if that were not enough accolades, he is a confident breeder with a gentle temperament. Whether you're looking for fine fiber qualities or color, you can achieve both. He has produced offspring from white, to fawn, to brown, to true black, and even grey. The possibilities are limitless. Avenger is on the path already to becoming one of the most recognized herdsires in North America and will continue to breed success. Avenger is co-owned with Stachowski Alpacas who is also selling their interest.

We are proud to co-own Jubilee with Olivier and Patricia Guillotin of Shalimar Alpacas of Warwick, where he gets to spend his summers May- November in New York. TP Matrix Jubilee is a son of the renowned Snowmass Matrix and Tierra Prometida's finest fleeced female, Valedar's Parfait--who at 11 years of age and overweight has a micron of 19 still! In fact she is in the top 1% of EPD's for AFD (tenth in the nation), Spin Fineness ( 19th), %F>30m, mean curvature and SDMC!!! He is Dense. He is Fine. He has a beautiful, fine, silky fleece with bundles, brightness, long staples, and a well-defined high frequency crimp. His fineness persists as has his dam's and as has his sire, Snowmass Matrix. Every one of his dam’s (Valedar's Parfait) offspring has EPD''s for fineness in the top 1-3%. As the U.S. alpaca industry matures and advances, breeding decisions are being governed more by the objectivity of science and less by the hype of marketing. Fiber measurement, Estimated Progeny Differences and skin biopsy study all give us insights that can only narrow breeding decision making. All of these facts are available in predicting TP Matrix Jubilee's worth as a stud male. FIBER TESTING 4/04/2015--AFD: 16.3m; SD: 3.7; CV: 22.7; Mean Curv: 54.5; Total Wt: 8.2# 5/30/2014--AFD:18.5m ; SD:4.3;CV: 23.1; Mean Curv: 50.7; Total Wt: 8.2 5/10/2013--AFD:15.8m; SD: 3.9;CV: 24.4; Mean Curv 59.3; TotalWt:5.7# 5/5/2012—AFD:16.2m; SD: 3.9;CV: 24.3; Mean Curv: 54.3; Total Wt 6.2# 5/22/2011—AFD:14.6; SD: 3.3; CV: 22.6; Mean Curv: 54.7; Total Wt 4.0# @(6mo) SKIN BIOPSY “Tierra Prometida’s Matrix Jubilee” was biopsied as a 28 month old white beige male with ARI#31725064. He is marked incorrectly on his 15x scan picture as well as density scan picture as a female rather than a male. I can redo at a later date. His 15X scan shows large fiber clusters mostly uniform in shape and placement. His true density is a freakish 107.73 follicles SQ MM of skin and his S/P ratio is 12.6 to 1. Note his high level 4 of 4 gland presence as the grey areas on the S/P and 250X scans. I would expect brightness of his fibers and this level of gland presence seems to be a strongly passed male genetic trait. 100 secondary fibers average 13.9 microns while 50 primary fibers average 17.4 microns for a spread of only 3.5 microns EPD’s Jubilee’s 2014 EPD’s place him in the top 1% for 4 traits. Jubilee is conformationally beautiful and is extremely typey and compact. In addition, he carries a fleece that is stunning! His strong EPD's from both his dam and his sire are rock solid and predict that he will be able to project these fleece characteristics to his offpring in a reliable and predictable way. All alpacas are not created equally....TP Matrix Jubilee is living proof and the science says so!
