UPDATE: Rio's first crias are here and look great! The genetic potential of this full Peruvian male is awesome! He brings together the strengths of the Accoyo(Caligula and Leon) and Cconchatanca bloodlines. Both his dam and his sire have elite white fiber that has retained fineness as they have matured. At the fourth shearing his sire's histogam was AFD=18.3 SD=3.6 CV=19.7% CF=99.7% >30=0.3%!!!! As if that wasn't enough, Rio has a terrific dam, too. Phyllis is one of our outstanding foundation females, representing the awesome result of an Accoyo/Cconchatanca match. She has given us two exceptional crias: Taffeta (now one of our foundation females) and Rio...2 for 2! Phyllis's histogram for her 8th shearing was an outstanding AFD=20.4 SD=4.2 CV=20.3% CF=97.3% >30=2.7%!!!! Talk about maintaining fiber excellence! And, like Montezuma, she offers fineness without sacrificing density. How can Rio not be great? Rio has grown into the phenotypically ideal male that his sire represents (see photo). Rio has his sire's excellent conformation and balance, complete fiber coverage, and handsome head. His dense fiber is bright, crimpy, fine, and consistent with excellent staple length. And, the good news is that he just continues to get better every day, exhibiting the "type", presence, and style we want in a herdsire.

........... RETIRED-REFERENCE ONLY........... Chantilly Lace is one of our original foundation females. Imported from the Macuzani region of Peru during the third Peruvian importation in 1995, she has proven herself time and again as a dependable mom with easy births, ample milk, and excellent bonding with her crias. Chantilly's crias have excellent conformation and very nice fiber. One of her sons, Avalon's Peruvian Chancellor, mutiple ribbon winner, is pictured at right. Chantilly's 2008 cria is one of the first by Avalon's Peruvian Impresario (Rio), our multiple Color Champion and blue ribbon winner. This handsome, white son, Avalon's Peruvian Chicote, appears to have inherited his sire's excellent conformation, style, and bright crimpy fiber. Look for pictures and a separate listing in the Alpacas for Sale secton. We have decided not to rebreed Chantilly given her age. We thank her for her years of service to us and for the many wonderful crias she has produced. She can now look forward to a retirement where she can enjoy her remaining years with us here at Avalon Farm helping the other girls look after each year's new group of crias.
