Epic Alpacas is pleased to announce the addition of Crescent Moon's Wilkinson to our outstanding lineup of herdsires! Wilkinson is a 10-time Champion and more notably, he's the back-to-back National Color Champion, taking the highest grey male honors at AOA in both 2015 and 2016! Most recently, as a 3.5 year old, he took the Color Championship at the 2016 Alpaca Breeders Invitational in a very competitive group of greys, proving that even after having cria on the ground, he's still got it! It's no wonder that Wilkinson is such an impressive male. His sire, Accoyo America Jason, is a legend in his own time, winning AOBA Nationals Color Champion in brown three years running. It is rare to find such exquisite crimp, character and density of fleece as Jason. Even better, Jason has consistently reproduced those characteristics in his crias, at such a high level that even his white offspring are consistently ribboning in the competitive white classes, and many of his progeny are champions! Wilkinson's dam, Crescent Moon's Forget Me Not, is also a Color Champion in her own right, winning 10 blue ribbons and 4 banners, including 2010 Futurity Grey Female Reserve Color Champion and 2014 CABA Classic 1st Place Produce of Dam. Wilkinson's cria have started arriving here at Epic and we are THRILLED! So much density, so much character, so much grey! His eldest male offspring, Crescent Moon's Subasio, has started making his impact on the show circuit in Fall 2017 with a number of blues and a Reserve Championship at an amazingly competitive double show in Oregon. Enormous thanks to Scott and Debbie Miller of Crescent Moon for sharing this incredible male with us - we are honored and delighted to be partners with them! Wilkinson is going to make one heck of an impact here and on the future of grey huacaya breeding!

Chelsi is a regal looking female with gorgeous medium grey fleece. Her blanket is virtually spot-free with a long staple. She has excellent confirmation and her first breeding to 38s Midnight Special NS produced our best cria yet and our first Reserve Color Champion. Chelsi's second cria, sired by Crescent Moon's Nitro, is a beautiful dark grey female with outstanding fleece! Her third cria is the best yet, another daughter, out of Crescent Moon's Wilkinson. For her 2018 cria, she has been bred to the 2016/2017 Herdsire of the Year--Neversummer's US Steel! Chelsi's lineage goes back five generation of silver. She has exceptional fiber with beautiful character and abundant covering good conformation. Her sire, Silver Elation is a rare dilute silver gray with an incredibly soft, well bundled and consistent fleece without any spots that is so dense, if feels like a heavy carpet. This male was born with a distinct Classic Silver Gray pattern which all but disappeared as his fiber dried. Every person who has seen him has been impressed by this amazing fleece that appears platinum in color with white in the neck, bib, face and legs. His cria are consistent as proven by his 2013 Get-of-Sire placement at the CABA Classic behind Accoyo America Navigator and HemiAccoyo Kashmir.

2020 BIOPSY RESULTS: 79.3 /mm 2nd highest density in a gray male tested by Ian Watt as of 2020! 12.7:1 SP Comments: Very good density with good uniformity both within and between each fiber population. His babies are hitting the ground and all we can say is WOW! Big, Bold, great bone and oo lala fiber! Holy Smoke is a name from a famous horse that we have patiently waited to use on the right male. Smoky was born while we were evacuating due to a fire, along with his color, genetics and stand out fleece he earned this privilege. Smoky's sire has proven himself to be a maker of champions and Smoky is no exception. He has his sire's dense bright and uniform fleece with a resemblance in phenotype and markings that leaves no question who his sire is. Smoky's dam is a champion herself as well as a maker of champions. Daphne has had 4 cria, all of them gray, all of them have championed. So Smoky was destined to be a super star! We love him! We believe our success is in the success of our clients!!! Proudly co-owned with Cascade Rose Alpacas!
