The Elite Maximus is one of those few animals who possess instant name recognition in the alpaca world. His reputation as a herdsire, and before that, in the show ring, is second to none. For many years he was the linchpin of Park View Alpacas' huacaya breeding program, and his many offspring have carried his low micron count and incredibly dense buttery fleece to victory in the showring. Max, as we called him, was sold to West Penn Alpacas at the Prestige Auction in September of 2011. Please direct any inquiries about EM to Debbie Harden and West Penn Alpacas. We have included him in our Openherd database in order to honor him as one of our herdsires, and because we still own many off his children and grandchildren.
