Marathon's crias are now on the ground, and they are gorgeous!

Marathon has thrown a solid, spot free, jet black female cria! EIGHT TIME CHAMPION, as of April, 2008. All in Halter, Full Fleece. FULL ACCOYO MEDIUM FAWN! Marathon is one of a kind - this full Accoyo medium fawn male has "a next generation elite fleece," perfect head, bite and conformation. His fleece has a very high-amplitude crimp, is extremely bright, and well-bundled, with a long-staple length. Genetically, he is a fusion of Accoyo sires Caligula, Camilio and Auzengate (Australia). He has placed as Reserve or Color Champion in the first 8 out of 10 shows in his career, with 4 of the banners earned as a juvenile, all with blue ribbon wins. He placed as Reserve Color Champion at the OABA Alpacafest, Nov. 2007 with a shear date of July, 2007, competing in full fleece. We think this is a record for number of championships for a full Accoyo fawn male! This fantastic male has fleece of the future and will bring your breeding program to new levels. This full Accoyo medium fawn male tore up the show ring during his career. His progeny is doing the same. Check out Sister Golden Hair and Cadence from our site.

2012 AOBA AUCTION - SOLD. Grateful thanks to Pat Till and family, Dusk Till Dawn Alpacas in IA. FIRST PLACE, HALTER - ALPACAPALOOZA 2012...with a very damp fleece. Half brother, Graphite - 1st Futurity 2012! Eleven to 18 microns are the eight highest bars on the histogram graph for her March 2012 mid-side sample (about one inch of cria tips cut off sample). With an SD of 4.1, those eight microns (11 m to 18 m) represent close to two standard deviations, or about two-thirds of the fibers tested in the sample submitted. The graph also shows 5% of fibers at 11 microns...significantly more than her siblings. She is amazingly fine and is on a normal diet (pasture, o. grass, alfalfa, pelleted supplement). (Hint: View fleece photo at smaller size for a realistic idea of her fleece's character.) Reyna's fleece exhibits very well-defined crimp character skin to uncut cria tip with outstanding density, uniformity, length, brightness and a silky handle. Reyna has lots of substance, correct phenotype and conformation and complete coverage, long staple length and a beautiful head with spear-shaped ears and an overflowing topknot. Born at 18.5 pounds, up and nursing in minutes and running around the pastures all afternoon. MRG ALPACAPALOOZA CHAMPION DAM, Miss Liberty, a Premier's Absolute daughter. MSG AOBA COMPOSITE CHAMPION SIRE (3rd fleece!), Snowmass RRoyal Fox, son of royal-fine Snowmass Royal Bronze and a Casanova daughter who produced 3 Futurity winners. RRoyal Fox's 5th fleece placed first (over the adult halter class first place winner at 2 years younger), at Alpacapalooza 2012. Her grandsires are Snowmass Royal Bronze (14.9 / 2.9 / 19.5 / 0.2 ...second shearing) and Premier's Absolute. Reyna is better than her dam and as good as her sire. I couldn't have asked for a better result from her champion parents. She has "it" and will be a super star in any gray program.
