Leonardo's crias began to arrive in 2006, and he is consistently passing on his overall "look" and stunning fiber. Leonardo's first cria, in 2006, AML Nobility has had a phenomenal show record: Five Color Championships, three Reserve Color Championships, and nine blue ribbons; plus Judge's Choice and Best Crimp at the 2009 MAPACA as a two-year-old And other of his crias have shown well too: **AML Susanah (grey): One Color Championship **Pine Hill’s Crème Brulee (medium fawn): Three first places, one second place **Calidad Cruise Control (white): Three second places, one third place (in highly competitive white male juvie classes) **Calidad Roxanne: One first place (only show) You won't find many other working males with histogram results to compare to Leonardo's. Leonardo's micron count at 5 years of age is only 21.6, and as you can see from the annual histograms below on the left, his statistics have remained the same for four years in a row (since he was a yearling)! One of our primary breeding goals is fineness that lasts as the alpaca ages, and Leonardo is helping us achieve that goal. Leonardo is one of very few full Accoyo sons of 4P Legacy, now deceased, a herdsire who was legendary for his fiber remaining very fine past ten years of age and for producing highly prized offspring. With 4Peruvian Legacy as his sire and Accoyo Grand Master daughter as his grandsire, Leonardo has spectacular lineage. He has beautiful, fine, bright, soft, crimpy, consistent fleece. Solid bone, a pleasing head, and all-around excellent conformation complete the picture of a top herdsire. One judge described him at 3-1/2 years old as a "superb male." A half interest in Leonardo is for sale. I plan to retain the other half interest. Fleece samples and histograms are available for multiple years.

Poppy's fleece is breathtaking--very fine, exquisitely soft handle, impressive staple length (4.5" at 7 months of age), extremely bright, and crimpy, crimpy, crimpy from skin to tip. The character of her fleece is so consistent across her entire body that it's hard to tell the difference between her shorn blanket and seconds. Her fiber stats are truly impressive: 2005: 16.6/3.0/18.1/0.3 and a staple length of 4.5" (at 7 months) 2006: 18.9/2.9/15.3/0.9 (19 months) 2007: 19.7/3.1/15.7/0.8 (2.5 years) 2008: 20.6/3.3/16.0/1.0 (3.5 years) (18.8 spinning fineness!) Poppy gave birth in July 2008 to a white male, named Calidad Leonardo's Schuyler, sired by AML Legacy's Accoyo Leonardo.
