Prestige is not retired from breeding but this listing is for reference purposes. Prestige is a white full Accoyo son of Pachacuti, who is now deceased. This wonderful male has had a very illustrious career in the showring, having won four blue ribbons, two color championships and a reserve color championship. All this was accomplished in very large level five shows against some of the most highly recognized herdsires in the country. He has presence and attitude which he infuses into his offspring. Additionally, he has proven to be a pre-potent herdsire, passing on his superior traits to his offspring; each cria that he has sired are a great representation of what this male can produce. They have developed high frequency bundling crimp, which is uniform in micron and character, on perfectly conformed frames. In November 2012, we decided to have Dr. Evans do a skin biopsy on Prestige as a 12-year-old breeding male. Knowing that the recommended age for doing such a skin biopsy is 18-24 months of age, we knew that we might be doing a disservice to Prestige. However, Dr. Evans’ comments proved us wrong. Here are his comments: “Prestige is awesome for a 12 year old male. Density of 62; secondary fibers still average 22.2 microns and his primary fibers still average below 30 microns with a spread of 7.4 microns. The average micron spread in 91 of the better males in 2011 was 8.22 microns. Prestige’s stats are very genetically strong for a 12 year-old. Most 12 year-old huacaya males that I have tested show 1/3 less density as well as fineness of fiber. This boy is ahead of his time.” The best part is that in addition to having super fineness, he tends to allow the dam’s color to pass through so you can anticipate color in the offspring while still achieving fineness of fleece.

Accoyo Lily has been a cornerstone of our foundation herd. Her traits are all positive--she catches on one breeding, she births easily, has plenty of milk, is a watchful mom but not nervous AND produces some very outstanding cria. Take a look at her recent August 2012 picture. She still has "it"! Ever heard of "lingering fineness--this is it! Just take a look at her remarkable April 2012 histogram that shows an AFD of 20.3 for an eleven-year-old breeding female. We had Wade Gease come and do a herd evaluation in early December 2011. While we know he was young at the time, Wade thought that Lily's 2011 cria had a very nice developing fleece and was showing show/herdsire potential. Lily has been confirmed pregnant by ultasound to Accoyo America Navigator for a June 2014 cria. Navigator, a DF son of Hemi-Accoyo Nautilus, is a five-time color champion, one-time reserve color champion, one-time fleece color champion and first place get of sire. Now he is siring his own champions. Navigator transfers fineness, fine crimp and long staple length. “Stunning” should be the result of this pairing. breeding program a leg up. Don't gamble by overlooking a proven female--a proven breeder and a proven mom. You should never take these attributes for granted.
