Our homegrown Nautilus son has been rated in the EPD's Top 1% for not only Fineness but SD.at 4 years old! Want to talk about lingering fineness? Want to talk about lingering fineness AND super density in the same alpaca? Here is our secret tightly held home grown superfine Nautilus son out of Accoyo America Elegance a full accoyo Endurance daughter/Caligula granddaughter. He's well built on a strong stout frame, medium sized with a perfect bite. Elegance was one of the finest full accoyo females I have ever seen, and we won many blues with her in halter and fleece. Elegance sadly passed away when Renaissance was 3 months old, and we have kept her son safely on our farm. Needless to say he was a little slow growing, between being orphaned and putting all his energy into a very fine, extremely long staple. We will not be showing him in halter due to the fact we can't replace these genetics. Even with all that stress I found no stress breaks in his fleece. We found our boys a bit on the "well fed" side in 2012 so we will be adjusting our feeding schedule accordingly. We are so impressed with Renaissance we bred two more females to his sire! Nautilus delivered again for us-a very fine white male out of our Bueno daughter(SOLD), and a crimpy solid dark fawn female out of our award winning brown female Sweet Temptation. We think so much of Renaissance sister Temptress that we bred her to Snowmass Matrix and now have their two sons, Magic and Mystic Sun. We were sorry we let Renaissance's daughter out of Champagne Gold go so he is bred to Champagne again this year. She delivered a totally awesome male so we repeated the breeding for the third time. I have only kept one Renaissance daughter Lilikoi. Although we don’t use him much, we love his offspring we don't have many unrelaated females to breed him to. We will reserve 2 breedings

HERITAGE STUD FEMALE-6/22/2013 It's another Girl! -an unnamed white female(SOLD) with bunny soft incredibly bright silky style fleece-and that gorgeous head. This is our Nautilus' son Renaissance first cria and I am very pleased. Rematch this year produced a male with the same head and extreme staples but very tight crimp. Champagne's first cross with Royal Challanger son Snowmass Golden Victory was also a knockout. We've named her HERITAGE VICTORIA GOLD. Champagne did an outstanding job on her first cria and she took to motherhood right away. Although a little early this little(17lb) girl was up and nursing almost immediately. Victoria (SOLD)has Champagne's beautiful fine fleece in a shade lighter in color but with the same great head and lucious bright crimp. She and her Man In Black son Nighthawk will be going to Canada! Champagne has an exceptionally long, bright fleece in a consistent medium fawn color and a gorgeous head. She is the favorite of everyone who visits our farm. 2013 Champagne and her daughter Victoria are in the top 1% of EPD's for staple length! Champagne is bred to Challanger's Golden Sage, a Snowmass Royal Challanger son out of our favorite Zion daughter Lotus Blossom. 9/5/15 An awesome dark fawn female AMBER GOLD with fabulously long staple length. (sold) Champagne delivered a white Renaissance daughter who is for sale. Currently bred to Snowmass Lovers Legacy.
