INCREDIBLE DENSITY AND LASTING FINENESS IN THIS BOY His fiber results at just shy of 9 years old are amazing! 2015 Histogram - AFD 20.5; SD 4.4; CV 21.2; %>30 3.3; CF 96.3; still this fineness at 9 years of age for grey is amazing! His biopsy follicle test (via Ian Watt) is even more impressive! Density - 62.8/mm with a Secondary:Primary fiber ratio of 13.1:1. Only 3 grey alpacas have ever tested higher in density and no grey alpacas have a higher S:P ratio (in fact, only 7 alpacas in ANY color have a higher S:P ratio - including white!). You'll have trouble finding a grey to put up a combination of those kinds of numbers anywhere! And Diego’s lineage is impressive, too - PPeruvian Pluro, Danko, grandsire Crescent Moon’s Rayo Del Sol (6x Grand Color Champ) and Sire Emerald Farms Rincon Cloud, 2005 AOBA Silver Nat’l Grand Champion, are enough reason to want him in your breeding program! And if that wasn't enough, check out his EPDs! Diego has many cria on the ground & every one of them is lovely. He is clearly passing on his amazing fineness to his cria. 2014 Epic Alpaca Cria Histograms -- Avenger – 15.23 AFD -- Baratheon – 15.3 AFD -- Ophelia – 15.6 AFD -- Antoinette – 17.98 AFD -- Lazarus – 18.4 AFD LASTING FINENESS RUNS IN HIS BLOOD: Previous Cria Histograms -- Jacob at age 2 - 16.7 AFD -- Joshua at age 3 - 16.4 AFD -- Levi at age 2 - 20.1 AFD Relatives' Histograms -- Diamond (Mom) at age 12 - 23.00 AFD -- Black Pearle (Maternal Sister) at age 5 - 17.52 AFD -- Angel (Maternal Sister) at age 7 - 21.89 AFD -- Axel Cloud (Paternal Brother) at age 6 Diego’s string of blues began in ’07 with a rave review from Judge Wade Gease: “This young man had a presence as soon as he entered the ring…his feet glided across the grass, his toes pointed straight ahead…he’s consistent throughout…good density and wonderful fineness…beautiful conformation”. That was just the beginning followed by Wade praising him again at AlpacaMania for his “exceptional conformation, extreme fineness, beautiful crimp and consistent fiber character”. He continued to stock pile blues and more at every show and fiber exhibition he went to until he began breeding. Diego has a sweet personality, isn’t skittish and comes right to us or visitors. His fiber is exceptional and buttery fine, his micron stats have always been great for a light animal let alone his coloring! They rank right alongside with some of the best in the nation! His fineness, luster, excellent dense coverage, beautiful typey head and strong bone structure will add great qualities to any herd. Thanks to Epic Alpacas & Patagonia Estates for giving us an opportunity to own this amazing boy!

Fiona is a pretty girl with a sweet disposition, fine fleece and incredibly long staple length. Her fleece is medium brown with a hint of dark rose grey. Her sire is My Peruvian Glory of the Pperuvian Caligula line. Fiona's 2013 Histogram was fantastic - AFD of 16.6, SD of 4.4, >30: of 1.0. Her ARI EPD for staple length (MSL +4.612, ranked 333 out of 27,776) placed her in the top 1.19% in the US! With her amazing fineness and long staple length she is sure to improve your herd. On November 1, 2014 Fiona had a gorgeous fawn girl out of our herdsire, Annihilation, who passes on fleecy typey heads to his cria and whose sire is Snowmass Midnight Magic. On October 24, 2015 Fiona had a beautiful female cria from our super dense and super fine modern silver grey champ herdsire, Diego!

Escher, named after the well-known artist M.C. Escher, is a handsome macho with impressive genetics and extreme appaloosa markings. Escher's fiber is nothing short of luscious with incredible fineness (16.1 as a 3 year old). Combine that fineness with high frequency, high amplitude bundling and you have incredibly nice fiber. Escher's EPDs are quite impressive, including an AFD of -1.498, ranking him 1402 of 21089 in the nation! His sire, 6 Peruvian Ninaya, was hand selected in 1998 by Dr. Julio Sumar, who considered him one of the top males available to be imported from Peru. Ninaya is known for stamping his offspring with his extremely dense fleece, well-defined crimp, and refined hand. Escher's dam, Derwydd Luciano's Luluy, added great staple length and fineness to his overall fiber quality. Escher's grandsire on his dam's side is El R Peruvian Luciano a GREY full Alianza herdsire who has produced many champions. Luluy's dam, Fista, (3/4 Accoyo) has also produced champions. So Escher certainly carries the GENETICS to produce exceptional offspring. If you appreciate the uniqueness of appaloosas and would like to add to or expand your selection, Escher is not one to miss.
