Tachon is a Full Accoyo who brings top genetics to your breeding program. His fleece offers uniform and well defined character, density, and deep crimp. The sample pictured is at 5 years of age and still displays these fine qualities. Tachon is the son of Accoyo Import Import Vengador. Vengador is the son of Shere Khan, Julio Barreda's most famous herd sire. He is the 1995 AOBA 1st Place Adult White Male Winner and has sired numerous Award winning offspring. At Age 11 Accoyo Vengador sold for over $102K at the Parade of Champions Sale! Tachon's Maternal brother - "Accoyo Michelangelo" recently sold for $89,000 at 11 months old!! He is owned by Likada Farm and Seldom Scene Farm. Tachon is a nice size boy with wonderful presence, big bone, and a great head. To top things off, he has three large brown/fawn spots on his side and black pigment around his eyes and mouth. The pairing of Accoyo Vengador (was owned by Greg Mecklem at Accoyo America) x Accoyo Ayaviri (owned by Greg's Brother) created Accoyo Tachon for Greg's brother. The match was perfect, but Greg's brother is all set with males, so we were fortunate enough to scoop up Tachon for our breeding program. Here is a great opportunity to add Accoyo bloodlines without sacrificing color. Tachon's first cria have hit the ground and we are VERY Excited. The fleece on these little ones is something to shout about. It is the tiny little zipper crimp and breaks into bundles even at just a week old. Now, to take that even further, we have a Medium Brown from a Black Dam, Dark Fawn from a Med Fawn Dam, a Light Brown from a Dark Brown Dam and a Medium ROSE GRAY from a Med Fawn Dam! The owners of the Rose Gray called to book a repeat breeding and stated, "she is the best cria to ever be born on their farm". As we thought, Tachon will push the color through while adding the wonderful Accoyo genetics, density, character and crimp. We are proud to own Tachon with The Heart of Michigan Alpacas and Double D Alpaca Farm.

Eponine is a rare True Black full Peruvian who has Presence, Conformation, Typey Alpaca Head, and superb fleece with a great handle. Her color producing ability is stupendous and the fact that she throws show winning cria one after another is the icing on the cake. She has produced a Dark Silver Gray (Bam Bam - AOBA winner), True Black (Coal Train - 3rd at KY Classic at 6 months old with cria tips), and her newest to hit the show ring is a dark fawn - 1/2 Accoyo (Chief Seattle - see sold page). Seattle has taken a few blues and reds for his new owners as well. Her 2005 cria is Perucoyo Sunshine. She is a beautiful Med Brown 1/2 Accoyo by our Accoyo Tachon. Sunshine has a gray face and black and gray running down the back of her neck. ********* UPDATE ************ Eponine produced the only ARI REGISTERED - 1/2 ACCOYO FULL PERUVIAN - TRUE BLACK - ROYAL FAWN SON! His name is BENCHMARK'S PERUCOYO ROYAL BLACK. His luster, fineness and tightly locked fleece are incredible. RB went to the Level V OHIO Alpacafest and took 2nd out of a huge class of Blacks! He also placed 2nd at NIAE 2007. Her 2007 cria is Benchmark's Peruvian Nina. Nina's sire is The Peruvian Tin Man. Eponine has been bred to our Show stopping - quality producing - elite fleeced Herd Sire for a 2008 cria - Peruvian Avatar!

Avatar is the future of our Industry. Just come by and take a look at this male and you will get a clear picture. Better yet, come and look at his offspring and you will know it is true. Avatar offers impeccable conformation, full coverage, amazing head with full topknot, square muzzle and strong presence. These are not only traits he possesses, these are the qualities he passes on. Avatar offers Advanced Fleece characteristics with high frequency crimp, small bundles and uniformity even down into his legs. He is extremely dense and maintains both fineness and brightness that holds its own against boys much younger in age. He proved this by placing first and then going on to take Supreme Color Champion at Farm Fair International November 2004. He also placed First and Reserve Grand Champion at the Rich Valley Show August 2005 and First in the fleece show at Alpacafest, Red Deer, 2005. All of these shows were held in Canada. 2005: AFD:20.8, SD:4.0, CV:19.2, >30:2.2 2008: AFD:23.8, SD:4.1, CV:17.2, >30:4.5 December of 2007, we had three Avatar cria old enough to take to a show (two of them just 7 months old). All three placed first in their class at the New Jersey Show 2007. Cassandra in the Beige Class, Jazz Man in the White Class and Latisha in the Multi Class. Cassandra and Jazz Man were immediately scooped up by Canada as they know these bloodlines well. Since then, Lightning took over and has represented his sire very well with a Banner at the Indiana Invitational and 1st Place at MAPACA 2008. Now, little Alexander had his debut performance at the OABA Alpacafest 2008 - and pulled off a 2nd place. Can't wait until the spring shows for him. You can see both Lightning and Alexander on their own pages. Breeding Special - $500 for Drive-by service and $1,000 for an on farm breeding.
