We are very excited about the offspring hitting the ground from our full Accoyo beige son of El Nino (Caligula's best son), who had a 16.3 micron fleece at one year! Dr. Norman Evans did a skin biopsy in the fall of 2005, and according to his results, Michelangelo's density is absolutely unmatched (S/P Ratio of 13.28/1 and follicle density an amazing 107 follicles per sq/mm)! One of the softest AND densest fleeces I've ever had the pleasure to touch! Multiple champion and blue ribbon winner in fleece and halter! Michelangelo had confirmed pregnancies at 22 months, and to date has many healthy CHAMPION offspring on the ground (including ROSE GREY, SILVER GREY, medium brown, light fawn, beige and white! His offspring took blues in both juvenile white male AND female classes at AOBA Nationals, and a grey took a blue at the Futurity! Judge Kevin O'Leary commented that a white Michelangelo offspring he judged at AOBA had "the finest fleece he'd had in his ring all day! Herdsire discounts from SSF do not apply to Michelangelo breedings. We will begin booking a few limited outside breedings for 2008.

We are pleased to announce that we now co-own "Siggy" with Ed and Karen Rogers of Apple Tree Acres Alpacas. Being able to co-own this outstanding young gray stud is certainly a great way to start 2007! Siggy is a 1/2 Accoyo, 3/4 Peruvian, Light Silver Grey son of legendary PPPeruvian Royal Fawn and a Dam with 4 generations of Gray behind her. Out of 290+ cria from Royal Fawn, Siggy is the only silver gray offspring. Siggy has outstanding fleece characterized by excellent fineness, density, and crimp. His uniform gray color extends throughout his blanket. Winning the 2006 AOBA National Fleece Show gray Color Championship attests to the fleece quality. His pleasing conformation is highlighted by good balance, an outstanding head and great coverage. Sig's first cria has hit the show circuit with 3 shows - 1 Championship and 2 Reserve Championships!
