Apocalypse had been one of the most prepotent offspring of PCA Hemi-Accoyo Nautilus. Starting out with a multiple championship show career Apocalypse has produced significant results as a herdsire.
Placing in the top 10 white males for increased fleece weight among the top 1% of reducing fineness. His offspring are also found among the top of the EPD ranking for persistent fineness. His offspring through age 6 remains under 20 micron at 19.5 AFDand SD of 4.2.
He has produced more of the top 25 herdsires in the EPD program for reducing fineness and increasing fleece weight. That is quite an accomplishment for our comparatively little herd. Apocalypse stands in no ones shadow. A multiple Champion with multiple champion offspring and is also one of the top males in the EPD program for AFD and FW.
His offspring have great conformation, full fleece coverage with beautiful heads that always do great in the top white and light classes. In addition to proven EPD's, Apocalypse has had many Get of Sire wins frequently placing ahead of more well know names such as Barnabus and Elite Maximus.
By any measure he is an impressive and unique herdsire. His stats provide confidence that your breeding program will be able to compete among the top animals in the country. His offspring are always in the Ultra Royal Fine grade range as juveniles and yearling and remain in the Royal and sub 20 micron range well into their adult years. A great trait to establish in your herd or your next herdsire.
Congratulations to Jay and Melissa Reeder of Apple Mountain Alpacas, Clarksville, GA, for acquiring co-ownership in this game changing male. Apocalypse will now be available for Fall and Winter breedings in the SE!
