Top 5 EPD Trait Leader 2015 - 2018
Rock Garden's Accoyo Cosmo
Alpaca, Huacaya, Male | White
AOA #32193350 | DOB: 7/16/2011 (13 yrs)
Sire: SA Accoyo Invasion
32193350<--ari-->Beige<--color-->Royal Fawn Son - With 8 championships & 16 blue ribbons, Invasion is one of the top full Accoyo colored herdsires in the country. With his 2008 set of Ideuma Creek cria entering shows for the first time, it has become clear that Invasion is passing on his elite fleece characteristics to his offspring. Invasion is adding outstanding crimp, color, density, brightness & well respected lineage to his cria.
As evident from his own show record, judges around the country agree that Invasion is an elite alpaca. Now statistics from his recent skin biopsy test support his caliber of fleece. In addition his first Ideuma Creek cria are doing outstanding in fleece shows. Using all of the tools available, Invasion keeps proving time & time again that he is a superior herdsire.
If you're looking to add density, consider Invasion's skin biopsy report done by Ian Watt:
Follicle Denisty - 65.28
Secondary:Primary Ratio 14.4 : 1
"This is a high quality male whose primary breeding objective should be to deliver elite fleece trait genetics in any breeding plan, especially where color is a consideration"
- Ian Watt

Dam: Accoyo Sunflower Girl
32193350<--ari-->White<--color-->Genetics from well known Accoyos and rare Accoyo lineages!
Sunflower had consistently placed within the Top 1% of AOA'S National Herd EPD Traits for MSL and FW and the Top 5% for %M from 2013 until her death in 2018. Her son Cosmo was named a 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 Top 5 EPD Trait Leader for FW and has continually been in the Top 1% and 10% for most of the other traits. She has also given us two more future herdsires, Berberis and Stachys; both exhibiting fantastic genetics of each of their parents.
Sunflower inherited her dense, fine fleece from both of her parents. Sunflower's dam is Accoyo Mayflower, a Caligular and Vengador grandaughter who has extraordinarily dense, crimpy, fine fleece. A beautiful alpaca with the elite fleece characteristics that high quality, well bred Accoyos are known for.
Accoyo Pinachi, Sunflower's sire, adds the proven, yet rare Accoyo genetic's to her pedigree. Pinachi was one of the best alpacas to come from one of the last imports from Peru in 1998. Personally selected by Julio Sumar for Derwydd Alpacas; Pinachi's fleece was super dense, bundled and crimpy with a high sheen. Pinachi died in 2007 from pneumonia and with only 38 cria on the ground, his incredible genetics are very rare, very sought after and can no longer be reproduced. Sunflower Girl was the very last cria sired by Pinachi.
Sunflower was bred in 2010 to 8X Champion beige herdsire, Accoyo Invasion and produced our Cosmo, a fabulous full accoyo white herdsire full of fabulous crimpy fine fleece.
Sunflower was bred in 2012 to PHA Accoyo Stratosphere, a Legacy son, 4X Blue Ribbon Winner, and 2 Get-of-Sires; they produced our Berberis, a Full Accoyo beige - future herdsire with the same dense, fine, crimpy fleece as his older brother, Cosmo.
We bred Sunflower in 2014 to Ideuma Creek's Accoyo Truman; who comes from top notch genetics, for her 2015 cria. Truman's sire is PHA Accoyo Stratosphere, a Legacy son and his dam is Accoyo Venice whose maternal grandsire is Accoyo Victor and paternal grandsire is Accoyo Royal Fawn. This pairing produced a fanstastic boy with bright white, crimpy, silky fine fleece that we named Stachys. Soft and fine doesn't even begin to describe this boy - 2016 Fiber Stats: 16.4 microns with a 99.3% comfort factor. 2017 Fiber Stats: 17.6 microns with a 97.7% comfort factor; Mean Staple Length 121.2mm. Stachys is exhibiting the same characteristics as his grandsire, Accoyo Pinachi - on his dam, Sunflower's side; adding a proven, yet rare Accoyo genetic to his pedigree. Stachys's first EPD Report at the age of 1 placed him in the Top 10-15% of the National Herd for all but 2 of the traits. 2017 results put him in the Top 5-25% for all the traits!<--description-->
Description
UPDATE: NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR STUD
Cosmo has once again been named one of AOA's Top 5 EPD Trait Leaders for 2018 in fleece weight and will be featured in their presentation during the Alpaca Owners Association National Show and Auction in 2019; this is his 4th year in a row. He has consistently been in the Top 1-15% for AFD, SF, %F>30, and %M, MSL & FW since 2013
Cosmo is a Full Accoyo, white multiple ribbon winner with extremely heavy, crimpy, dense fleece with a staple length of 4 3/4 + inches. His fiber shearing weight averages 14 lbs with 7-8 lbs of it blanket (after skirting).
It's in his genes to be a fantastic herdsire! His sire is SA Accoyo Invasion a Full Accoyo, beige who is the son of PPPeruvian Royal Fawn. His dam was Alpavo’s Accoyo Sunflower Girl a Full Accoyo, white, whose sire was Accoyo Pinachi. Pinachi's fleece was super dense, bundled and crimpy with a high sheen. Sunflower's dam is Accoyo Mayflower, a Caligular and Vengador grandaughter who also has extraordinarily dense, crimpy, fine fleece. Vengador was the son of Shere Khan, Don Julio Barredos most famous Accoyo herdsire and one that he viewed to be "the perfect alpaca".
Cosmo started his breeding career in 2014. We bred him to our 2 girls, Ivy (http://rockgardenalpacas.blogspot.com/2011/04/our-alpaca-ivy.html) This pairing produced a beautiful dark fawn girl with fine, long, crimpy, dense fleece exhibiting all the characteristics of both of her parents. We named her Rock Garden's Perucoyo Peony. (http://rockgardenalpacas.blogspot.com/2017/01/peony.html); and Zinnia (http://rockgardenalpacas.blogspot.com/2011/09/zinnia.html); Ivy's 2011 cria. This pairing produced an exceptional medium fawn girl; we named Rock Garden's Perucoyo Gladiola, who also has beautiful long, crimpy, dense fiber just like her father.(http://rockgardenalpacas.blogspot.com/2017/01/gladiola.html)
In 2016 we bred Cosmo to our girl Petunia (http://rockgardenalpacas.blogspot.com/2015/03/rock-gardens-petunia.html)- who is Zinnia's daughter and Ivy's granddaughter, this pairing produced a very crimpy, dense, long fleeced little boy that we have named Digitalis (Digit for short). He appears to be a solid beige color at this time.
