Tachon is a Full Accoyo who brings top genetics to your breeding program. His fleece offers uniform and well defined character, density, and deep crimp. The sample pictured is at 5 years of age and still displays these fine qualities. Tachon is the son of Accoyo Import Import Vengador. Vengador is the son of Shere Khan, Julio Barreda's most famous herd sire. He is the 1995 AOBA 1st Place Adult White Male Winner and has sired numerous Award winning offspring. At Age 11 Accoyo Vengador sold for over $102K at the Parade of Champions Sale! Tachon's Maternal brother - "Accoyo Michelangelo" recently sold for $89,000 at 11 months old!! He is owned by Likada Farm and Seldom Scene Farm. Tachon is a nice size boy with wonderful presence, big bone, and a great head. To top things off, he has three large brown/fawn spots on his side and black pigment around his eyes and mouth. The pairing of Accoyo Vengador (was owned by Greg Mecklem at Accoyo America) x Accoyo Ayaviri (owned by Greg's Brother) created Accoyo Tachon for Greg's brother. The match was perfect, but Greg's brother is all set with males, so we were fortunate enough to scoop up Tachon for our breeding program. Here is a great opportunity to add Accoyo bloodlines without sacrificing color. Tachon's first cria have hit the ground and we are VERY Excited. The fleece on these little ones is something to shout about. It is the tiny little zipper crimp and breaks into bundles even at just a week old. Now, to take that even further, we have a Medium Brown from a Black Dam, Dark Fawn from a Med Fawn Dam, a Light Brown from a Dark Brown Dam and a Medium ROSE GRAY from a Med Fawn Dam! The owners of the Rose Gray called to book a repeat breeding and stated, "she is the best cria to ever be born on their farm". As we thought, Tachon will push the color through while adding the wonderful Accoyo genetics, density, character and crimp. We are proud to own Tachon with The Heart of Michigan Alpacas and Double D Alpaca Farm.

Carmen, an Accoyo Victor granddaughter, is a very friendly female. She has great conformation and her fiber is dense with a bold crimp and a exceptionally fine handle. She has a taupey gray patch running from the base of her head and down her neck at least 8 inches. Her 2003 cria is Benchmark's Trecoyo Heartbreaker (see on sold page), a 3/4 Dark Brown Accoyo out of Accoyo Shangri La. Her 2004 cria is Commander -- he is a big winner in the level V Ohio Alpacafest 2005 and also a Herd Sire for Inca Trails. Carmen's 2005 cria is Our Trecoyo Dumplin'. Dumplin' is part of Foundation Herd and can be seen on her own page. She has a great show record and is an incredible animal. Her 2006 cria is Benchmark's Trecoyo Prime Time. He is a True Black 3/4 Accoyo and is co-owned with Alpacas of America. Watch for her 2008 cria by Accoyo Tachon. He is not posted yet, but will be soon.

Standing Stud at Benchmark For all Of 2020 Vinny is technically a Light Rose Gray as he has the Rose Gray down his neck, the cap on his head and brown and black fibers running all throughout his blanket. This makes Vinny another "stealth" Gray and puts him in the line-up with - The Peruvian Tin Man - Benchmark's Prefontaine and Benchmark's Coyo Iron Man. To cover Gray and have the fineness, bundles and elite fleece is a rare find and just what Vinny offers. Vinny's Dam is none other than the MAPACA Gray Color Champion - Vindaloo! Her rich Rose Gray color and super fine fleece has complimented Accoyo The Babe well and helped to produce a high quality Herd Sire in Vinny. Vinny has been shown in Indefinite Light - meaning he is a light animal with dark fibers running through - when he was a Juvi. Then at one show as a Yearling, he color checked as a Beige. Although I knew that wasn't the class he belonged in, but with his amazing fleece, I knew he could hold his own - and that he did. The judge could not say enough about him and actually complimented him more than any of his competition. She loved his balanced frame, large bone, coverage, typey head, high frequency crimp and tiny bundles. She explained to all that the reason he was standing in 5th (out of 15 animals at a level V show) was due to the dark fibers running throughout his fleece. Vinny has improved with age, so at just 1 week shy of 3 years old, we entered him into the National AOBA show 2010. He placed First in his class and then went on to beat out the much younger competition with his fineness and consistency. He walked out of the ring with the Color Champion Banner. Uniformity, Consistency, Fineness... It is difficult to find such low SD and CV numbers. 2008: AFD 19.0; SD 3.1; CV 16.3; >30 1.0 - Spinning fineness 17.26 2009: AFD 19.8; SD 3.3; CV 16.5; >30 0.5 2010: AFD 21.7; SD 3.5; CV 16.0; >30 1.3 2013: AFD 23.0; SD 3.9; CV 17.1; Comfort Factor 96.5%; Spin Fineness 21.7!! All of this at 6 years of age!! Benchmark Alpacas is proud to announce the partnership of Vinny with Jennifer Schalk and Chris Alward of Diversified Alpacas LLC.
