**DESCRIPTION BY PREVIOUS OWNERS** Pacesetter has it all and is an outstanding Herdsire. Density with good coverage, lock, well-balanced conformation and great luster. Pace is 3/4 Accoyo with genetics from Torbio, Rockstar, Ace, Diamond River and Accoyo Luna, dam of the late Baron Lafite. His dam, Dixie, is a five-time Champion and his sire, Champion Accoyo DaVinci, needs no introduction. More on Dixie (owned by Hasselbring's Harmony Ranch): Dixie - a 5X champion during just one show season!! She has excellent conformation, a great Suri head, and wonderful fleece with independent lock, luster and density. She carries herself proudly and caught the judge's eye each time as she first walked into the ring. She is a Diamond River, son of Accoyo Ace, daughter. Her offspring include multiple champions, including Zen of Harmony - the 2017 Futurity Judge's Choice winner. Other notable offspring include: Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Kalee, in addition to Pacesetter! ____________________________________________________ As you can see, Pacesetter has a well-stacked pedigree! We are anxious to get him started with our herd here at Honey Maple Farms! He is an easy handling male, and though he is older, we think he will add some fabulous genetics to improve our herd. We love his personality too, which is so important, and his nice conformation. Unfortunately we didn't get to see his fleece while he was in his prime, but his 2 male crias, both out of our Kahuna daughter, Sangria, have looked very promising!

While we could never replace our special girl, Carina, we CAN replace her genetic potential in our herd and that is exactly what we set out to do this year......Enter Taha's Ivory! Ivory was a special find for us. I mentioned to a fellow alpaca breeder that we were looking for a specific set of genetics in a younger female, and what do you know....she knew someone, who knew someone, who had exactly what we were looking for!! Ivory is a fantastic female carrying the genetics of Pucara Hanapepe, one of our favorites! (And the genetics we were hoping to replace!) Her fleece and EPD stats are OUTSTANDING! Ivory has back-to-back top 1% EPDs in 2019, 2020 AND 2021. She is maintaining her excellent fleece characteristics as she ages, and that is really important to us and to our breeding program. We are looking forward to many years of beautiful crias from Miss Ivory.!! **SEPT 8, 2022** Ivory and Pacesetter knocked this one out of the park!! A fantastic male cria with phenomenal fleece! We are very excited about this boy!! More info and pictures coming soon! October 2022 We are so impressed with Ivory's cria with Pacesetter, that we have decided to do a repeat breeding for 2023! This pair is a really good match and we can't wait to see the outcome next fall! **September 2023 UPDATE** Ivory delivered a stunning 16.0 lb. white female on Sept. 14. She looks very promising! Ivory's cria was born before we got home from work, was all dry and had eaten plenty when we discovered her. We love it when the natural course of things takes place on its own. Ivory is a great mom and has lots of milk! This is Pacesetters last cria, so we are feeling mixed emotions today. Happy for a healthy female cria, but sad that we can't produce any more offspring from Pace. We are hoping for good things from this lovely girl though. **Fall 2024** We are going out on a limb with our next cria for Ivory, but it is exciting!! We have decided to pair her with our Electrofyre son, Intrepid "Bubba." This will be Bubba's first cria and we are hoping for something really special!! The pedigrees lining up for this one are stellar!!
