BREAKING NEWS!! Kiernan just brought home his THIRD Get of Sire Blue Ribbon at the 2013 California Classic. His third Get of Sire in as many shows and his second two years running at the CA Classic. Kiernan offspring brought home the Produce of Dam and the Breeders Best Three at the same show. Oh... Then there was OVA Peruvian Crisdean the Explorer, a Kiernan son who won his Class, Color Group and the coveted Best of Color Groups banners. Just Awesome!! Kiernan has proven to be everything that we had hoped for in a breeding male. With over nearly thirty registered cria on the ground his reputation has grown with each Championship, Reserve and Blue Ribbon won by his offspring. In the recent 2012 California Classic Kiernan won the coveted Get of Sire Class and five of the seven Kiernan offspring at the show won blue ribbons along with a Championship and a Reserve Championship. Later in 2012 Kiernan again won the Get of Sire class at the Gold Country Gathering and again his cria cleaned up winning multiple blue ribbons and both the Color Championship and Reserve in the brown male class. His offspring are all marked with excellent coverage and fleece character, extreme crimp and brightness along with the typical drop dead gorgeous head. They say that the proof is in the progeny and in this regard Kiernan is producing one outstanding cria after another. Kiernan’s dam, Snowmass Legacyna is out of the legendary 4Peruvian Legacy and his sire, FDA St. Andrews a multiple color champion himself, carries Peruvian Santino and PPPeruvian Dracula genetics. Looking for Accoyo genetics? Kiernan offers some of the best. . His fiber statistics show him to have the best crimp in our herd. Kiernan has just a picture perfect head with black ears and muzzle. Fleece coverage and character, density and staple length are just phenomenal along with strong bone and good conformation. In the show ring, Kiernan has impressed the judges in winning three championships, a blue ribbon at AOBA Nationals, eleven overall blue ribbons and a slug of other awards. Do your breeding program a favor and book a package of breedings to Kiernan. Another interesting fact - Kiernan has never thrown a white cria even when bred to white. We would be happy to discuss multiple breeding discounts.

Coqueta has turned out to be a lovely young lady. She's quite close to her dam, a very black female out of the acclaimed Studmaster program of NorthWest Alpacas. We bred Cocopuff to our very black Champion, Dundee's AJ Stormcat and he put his signature perfect conformation and head on her sturdy frame. Add to that a very soft handling bright blue-black fleece with moderate crimp, fineness, and density, and uniformity of micron. Coqueta just took 1st of 7 in a competitive class of 7 at AlpacaFest West. The judge stated that she has the finest fleece in the class, moderate density, good uniformity of micron and crimp. excellent conformation, and is well-grown for her age. Coqueta had her first cria, a beautiful dark brown female, in early November. She is a great mother, and the little girl is growing rapidly. Coqueta does not sell with the cria, who will wean in the spring. Coqueta sells with a breeding that you can use on her or any of your females. Of our males, I'd suggest Accoyo America Hawkeye, or perhaps Manchu's Sun Tzu for Coqueta. Or, you can try for grey with our grey junior herdsire, Iron Sun--a grandson of Aussie .38 Special!

We are thrilled beyond belief to have a top quality Renaissance Ridge grey herdsire in our lineup! It was a great opportunity for us, and we jumped at it! Donatello has the softest handle--the most uniform, fine fleece... Beautiful dark rose grey coloring---I suspect both classic and modern grey genetics. We plan to put him to work on our best colored females this fall! Yup!--gotta have modern grey in there because his first cria for us is MODERN dark rose grey, and her dam has no grey in her background! Addendum: his second cria for us is also a very dark modern rose grey from a true black female. This is from Julie and Ken Rosenfeld's listing of Donatello: "Donatello has been a treasure in our program. He is a Kit Carson son out of the revered and now deceased Snowmass Silver Star who gave us Snowmass Star Matrix, mom to RR Touchstone, the national brown fleece champ in 2015. She is also mom to Snowmass Enlightenment, who is well recognized in grey breeding circles. Donatello carries the strong conformation of both his parents and we fully suspect that he will deliver the goods on sustained fineness which was seen in both his parents. Sire, Kit Carson has a histogram of 22.5/ 4.0/ 17.6 and a comfort factor of 96.1% at age 6. Dam, Silver Star was still 23 micron at age 10! He has a very superior handle and uniformity to his fleece which would be commendable in any color, but is particularly notable for grey. ...[the genes carried by RR Donatello and sire, RR Kit Carson have been]...the backbone of our breeding program in a line that started with grandsire Aussie Gun's n Roses, RR Guns Kit Carson and now Donatello. ...If you're breeding for grey he's your man."
