You've seen the ads from Pacific Crest..."For lasting fineness...breed to the Accoyo America's Nautilus line." We couldn't agree more! And now is your chance to own one of the line! Diomedes has that perfect combination of fineness and density with an indescribable brightness, and he is passing it on...in lights and in color! First histograms on his offspring are fabulous! Of the 11 that we tested in 2010, all but three fell under 17 microns (with those 3 at 17.2, 19.1, 19.2,) and the SD's ranged from 2.9 to 3.7. AND SECOND HISTOGRAMS FOLLOW SUIT...OF THE NINE YEARLINGS TESTED IN 2010, ALL BUT TWO WERE UNDER 18 MICRONS. The fleece judge for 2008 Alpacapalooza, Cheryl Gehly, agreed with us about Diomedes' 2007 blanket. She wrote "Wow! Simply spectacular..." and awarded him 20 OUT OF 20 FOR FINENESS AND HANDLE, 9.5 OUT OF 10 FOR CHARACTER, AND 5 OUT OF 5 FOR DENSITY. In addition, Diomedes won the COLOR CHAMPION, BEST CRIMP, and JUDGE'S CHOICE awards. Naturally, we are thrilled with HIS accomplishments, but as we always say..."it's what they produce that counts." Halter judge Cathy Merkeley awarded Diomedes' first offspring, Diomedes' Dehlia, a blue ribbon in the Beige Juvenile Female class! Then NW Alpaca Showcase Judge, Sharon Loner, gave Dehlia the blue ribbon nod and the Reserve Championship at not quite 8 months of age. Dehlia has now given us cria...her first, a female, has the finest fleece we've seen...her first histogram was 12.4 AFD, 2.2 SD, 0.2%>30. Her second, a male, is looking incredible so far. Subsequent crias are bringing home ribbons as well even in the difficult white classes. Come see Diomedes and his superfine progeny in beautiful Idaho!

We bought this girl (she is "Amy" to us) for several reasons, not the least of which was the gorgeous sample of fleece we got from her previous owners; it displayed a lovely crimp, fine handle and unbelievable staple length. She is registered as a light fawn, but the bulk of her blanket fleece is really a light rose grey. And beyond looking at the fiber, her pedigree was certainly nothing to sneeze at with the Chaccu grandsire and Bueno great grandsire. We had none of the Chaccu line on our farm and loved Amy's density. At the time we acquired her, she was bred to Onyx' Grey Navigator; take a look at the copy-cat daughter she produced from that breeding...simply beautiful! Amy took to mothering like a duck to water...she births easily, (which is amazing since she produces very large crias for her size,) has a great milk supply and wonderful protective instincts. We have two other daughters from Amy and Diomedes, both with stellar fleeces; she is a super producer!

We acquired Encore in Spring 2019. We have been using him as a herdsire for several of our females. Encore has SUCH a presence and is an excellent breeder...getting the job done in 10 minutes! He's got a nice, short face with a beautiful staple and is such a beautiful color! Encore's histograms speak for his fleece.... 2022 Histogram: AFD: 19.4 SD: 3.8 CV: 19.5 %>30: 1.3% 2021 Histogram: AFD: 18.3 SD: 3.4 CV: 18.7 %>30: 0.7% 2020 Histogram: AFD: 17.7 SD: 3.5 CV: 20.0 %>30: 0.6 2019 Histogram: AFD: 18.9 SD: 3.5 CV: 18.4 %>30: 0.9 He ranks in the top 5% EPDs in AFD, SD, SF, %F>30, and %M traits.

Description

She delivered her first cria with apparent ease...when we checked before 6:00am September 16th, the baby was already nursing. It's a beautiful little female from PC Running Late that we named Bright and Early! Please check out the photos! Running Late always puts very fine fleeces on his offspring, and this cria was no exception. Her 2015 cria, Adele, was also no exception! A beautiful medium fawn with eyeliner like her namesake! At her 1st shearing (6/8/16), she was a 15.7 micron and quite dense! Abby was 24 pounds at birth and never slowed in growth so was very ready to breed the fall of 2010 as a yearling. The pedigree of this full Peruvian beauty includes great grandsires Caligula, Hemingway, Chaccu, and Snowmass Casanova. Add in Sicuani, Chipaya, Condori, and Picchucha on the female side for a real GENETIC POWERHOUSE!! Abby has a lovely fine fleece and lots of it...superb density, uniform crimp. She is a beige as she sports a fawn coloration (see photos) on the back of her head and neck -- almost a tuxedo style -- as well as down her topline. Abby will produce color when bred to color. Please ask us to send you a sample of her fleece...you will appreciate the quality once you get to see and touch. Abby is a healthy, well-proportioned girl, and we expect she will be a great producer of gorgeous crias for many years. She was bred to one of our herdsires, King Hezekiah in 2017. She delivered a healthy fawn boy, who we named Archer. We are expecting a fine dense fleece from this match! We re-bred her back and she was due Summer 2019. She had a beautiful fawn girl, who we named Arya. She is already sold! Abby is bred to our newer herdsire, Encore (a dark brown male). 2019 Histogram: AFD: 19.3 SD: 3.7 CV: 19.1 %>30: 0.9 2018 Histogram: AFD: 18.6 SD: 3.9 CV: 21.1 %>30: 1.4 (8/18/16): AFD: 18.9 SD: 3.2 CV: 16.7 %>30: 0.4 2017: AFD: 17.8 SD: 3.7 CV: 20.5 %>30: 0.9
