We've now closed the breedings to Peruvian Presidio, one of the elite Peruvian herdsires in the country, but we'll always have a few of his crias and a select group of top females bred to him for sale. We're proud to be able to offer the finest lineup of rising young herdsires in the U.S:   Maple Brook Barnabus, a Color Champion Augusto Grandson with extraordinary fleece and wonderful crias on the ground; Rayo's Roso e Grigio, our Color Champion rose grey son of Rayo del Sol and an Accoyo Legacy mom with grey crias on the ground and  Brutus' Firecracker, 1/2 Accoyo fawn, full Peruvian from a fresh pedigree. Breedings come with live cria guarantees. We'll take special care of your visiting moms and their crias.   Peruvian Presidio Peruvian Presidio is perhaps the best producing son of Accoyo Caligula (white), and his dam, Senna, (fawn) is a Peruvian from the Solocotta region. He has now won “Get of Sire” seven times. His crias have over 80 color championships so far, and he’s only just 9 years of age!  Breedings are now limited to our customers participating in the Xanadu Pedigree Enrichment Program.   Presidio was born at Xanadu and his resume includes winning the blue ribbon for fleece at AOBA in 1999 (the highest score of all huacaya fleeces at the show), the blue ribbon for fleece at Estes Park in 2000 and first place in the AOBA Handspinners Competition in 2001. He has incomparable luster and fleece character,  along with heavy bone and reproductive capacity. Presidio has that rare combination of deep amplitude crimp, density and staple length (he sheared over 11.9 pounds of fleece  at fourth shearing with a 7.9 pound blanket). He now has over 180 crias on the ground in nearly all colors; including black, rose grey and chocolate brown, and all carry his strong genotype.  Most importantly to us, his crias have wonderful fleece and are genetically and reproductively hardy.   Breeding Fee:  Breedings are now closed except for customers participating in Xanadu Pedigree Enrichment Program, but we have his crias and females bred to him for sale.       Maple Brook Barnabus Barnabus wins his 2nd “Get of Sire” at the 2007 Mid American Alpaca Show in Topeka. Amazing Fleece! We were delighted to be able to purchase this remarkable herdsire at the AAA Futurity Auction in 2004, and are pleased to be standing him in Colorado. He has the best one year micron we’ve ever seen: 12.8 mic; 3.0 SD, 20.6< & 0.3% + 30 microns  at 2 years of age its 16.5 mic, 3.0SD, 18.2CV and 0.3% + 30 mic,and at 4 years of age, after 2 years of breeding, it's a wonderful  19 mic., 3.6 SD, 18.9 CV, 99.5 CF and a CRV of 53.2. Not only is his fleece fine, it was loaded with character, completely uniform throughout the blanket and thoroughly bundled. We’re very fussy about conformation, too, and Barnabus has a correct structure, including strong, straight hind legs, to go with a typey head and correct bite. This boy is the son of PVA Wellington, who is an Accoyo Augusto son, and he has lots of color in his background, too. Our 4 Barnabus crias had 13 blues and 5 championships in their first show season.  He now has 20 crias on the ground, and they're breath-taking. We co-own him with Heart’s Desire Alpacas.

Resolute Breeding Fee:  $3,500     Brutus' Firecracker His 1st 12 crias are on the ground mostly mom’s color and all fine and crimpy. Firecracker is the son of Accoyo Brutus who came into the US in utero.   Mom has Alianza Don Julio and Peruvian Elever in her pedigree, but all in all, this is a fresh fawn Peruvian pedigree packaged in a superb young male.  Firecracker’s fleece is fully bundled, uniform from front to back and a 12 month histogram of 15.7 mic; 3.1sd; 19.1cv & 0.5% + 30 – remarkable in a white- truly extraordinary in a fawn.  He’s completely correct in every way with full coverage and a handsome head.    Breeding Fee: $2,000   Xanadu P.  Resolute We’re so proud to bring this Banabus son into our herdsire lineup. Resolute took Reserve Champion from a group of 98 white males at the ’07 GWAS. Veteran Judge Jude Anderson said he had the  “Wow Fleece of the Show”. He took first at MoPaca and ABR Fall Fest as well. We like him a lot, too. His mom is from the Accoyo Timoteo line. Her fleece is characterized by incredible density (11 pound total shear) & a well defined character.  Breeding Fee: $2,000 We’ve sold out his first 5 half price breedings but will offer the next 5 at just $2,000.
