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. At the IAOBA Show, Diane Timmerman called him "The complete package!" WOW!

Celeste is our hidden gem! This Accoyo/Alianza cross female has excellent conformation and bite. Her exceptional fiber is dense, lustrous, crimpy, locky and consistent. She is a wonderful mother who never disappoints us. Her first cria, Avalon's Peruvian Aries, has high luster, dense, crimpy, and locky fleece. He was selected as Reserve Huacaya Color Champion and helped to win Get of Sire for his Sire, AFA Royal Peruvian Aristocrat, at the 2002 Spring Fling in Wisconsin! Aries went on to become Color Champion at the 2002 OABA show and then the #1 White 2 year and over male at the 2003 National Conference AOBA show! Her second cria, Avalon's Peruvian Polaris is also a handsome Aristocrat son, with lustrous white fiber, dark eyes, and dark foot pads. Like his brother before him, Polaris is a multiple blue ribbon winner and color champion. Polaris is now a herdsire for Sleeping Monk Farm in New Hampshire. In 2003 the legacy continued. Celeste gave birth to her third outstanding Aristocrat son, Avalon's Peruvian Tri-Star. Like his brothers before him, Tri-Star exhibits an "elite fleece" with exceptional brightness and a dense, locky character. Tri-Star remains here on our herdsire row. In spite of the success of the Celeste/Aristocrat match, beginning in 2004 we elected to take Celeste to some other outstanding males including Winchester, Lancaster, Accoyo Express, and our own Impresario (Rio). While the results have been a succession of beautiful crias, we are still looking for that Celeste/Aristocrat little girl to take her dam's place in our program. So, this year we have decided to try again. Stay tuned!
