Our homegrown Nautilus son has been rated in the EPD's Top 1% for not only Fineness but SD.at 4 years old! Want to talk about lingering fineness? Want to talk about lingering fineness AND super density in the same alpaca? Here is our secret tightly held home grown superfine Nautilus son out of Accoyo America Elegance a full accoyo Endurance daughter/Caligula granddaughter. He's well built on a strong stout frame, medium sized with a perfect bite. Elegance was one of the finest full accoyo females I have ever seen, and we won many blues with her in halter and fleece. Elegance sadly passed away when Renaissance was 3 months old, and we have kept her son safely on our farm. Needless to say he was a little slow growing, between being orphaned and putting all his energy into a very fine, extremely long staple. We will not be showing him in halter due to the fact we can't replace these genetics. Even with all that stress I found no stress breaks in his fleece. We found our boys a bit on the "well fed" side in 2012 so we will be adjusting our feeding schedule accordingly. We are so impressed with Renaissance we bred two more females to his sire! Nautilus delivered again for us-a very fine white male out of our Bueno daughter(SOLD), and a crimpy solid dark fawn female out of our award winning brown female Sweet Temptation. We think so much of Renaissance sister Temptress that we bred her to Snowmass Matrix and now have their two sons, Magic and Mystic Sun. We were sorry we let Renaissance's daughter out of Champagne Gold go so he is bred to Champagne again this year. She delivered a totally awesome male so we repeated the breeding for the third time. I have only kept one Renaissance daughter Lilikoi. Although we don’t use him much, we love his offspring we don't have many unrelaated females to breed him to. We will reserve 2 breedings

We are so sad to say that Annapurna passed peacefully at the age of almost 19. She still looked great and every time I saw her since she retired I was tempted to breed her one more time. We have one daughter in our herd Annabelle who we cherish. HERITAGE STUD FEMALE. Still looking like a two year old. Her sons sell like hotcakes and with the quality she produces who cares what sex it is? Her latest Zion boy as yet unnamed(sold at 4 months), a replica of his 3 older brothers Alexzander, Sequoia and Commander, all four have sold as herdsire quality males. They all have fleece that is extremely bright and dense, traits that are typical of this match between Anna and Zion. Hannah(Sold) her daughter by Haldane, a Hemingway son, has a very fine but dense Hemingway style fleece. Hannah is the dam of a son Hawthorne on our sales list. Anna easily delivered a 22 llb girl named ANNABELLE on 4/11/2013 sired by MFI Impact a son of recently deceased MFI White Gold.White of course with very fine crimpy fleece and big bones. We will be keeping Annabelle"s Running Late daughter and great granddaughters Satin Bell's son Satin Signature and Lilikoi as the replacements from this line. Anna has always been very healthy and an easy breeder with lots of milk and still maintains a healthy body score without extra maintenance. With her good health and weight we think she has a number of healthy pregnancies left in her lifetime. She is one of the cornerstones of our herd and as a Snowmaster daughter is a vey rare commodity. Annapurna is our original alpaca purchase and has been a wonderful producer for us. Due to her production, sweet personality and genetics Annapurna is very special-experienced breeders only please. 6/20/2015 Annapurna delivered a stunning white female sired by our Nautilus son Renaissance with Anna's calm personality.(SOLD) 8/28/16 A lovely little girl-white of course-from her breeding to PC Running Late is for sale or can be purchased in our Running Late female package . Anna is retired from breeding but is listed here since she is the foundation of many animals in our herd. We have Annabelle as her replacement
