Sire: Peruvian Presidio
829745<--ari-->White<--color-->Presidio's book is now closed. Presidio is perhaps the finest-producing son of Accoyo Caligula, and his dam, 3Peruvian Senna, is a fawn from the Sollocata region of Peru. He now has 7 "Get of Sire" wins to his credit & was 2nd in "Get of Sire" at the 2004 National Show, in what Judge Mike Safely called the "best Get of Sire class" he'd ever judged. When we stopped counting, his crias had over 65 color championships and over 90 blue ribbons.

Description
Taos' herdsire quality has consistently been recognized in the show ring in halter and fleece shows with four Color Championships and five blue ribbons.
Taos is a big-boned, broad chested macho stud with an extremely dense fleece. He has excellent fiber coverage and fantastic architecture to his bundling fiber. Taos boasts a high frequency crimp with excellent staple length.
Taos is the product of a super dense dam who consistently produces champions and Presidio, arguably one of Caligula's best offspring and Get of Sire winner.
Tao's daugher, Sunny Mesa's Kaylor, won TWO Color Championships before retiring for breeding. Taos has produced alpacas ranging in color from fawn to brown and white. Typically he produces a shade of the Dam's color and 50% of the crias from white Dams are color.
Taos is an excellent choice to add density, long staple length and well defined crimp to your herd.
Pax River Alpacas will reserve 6 breedings with the sale of Taos.
