2 in 1 Package Elegante Vellon Accoyo Snow Bird: Full Accoyo - Production Breeder SERVICE SIRE: Snowmass Accoyo Elite Snow Bird Bio: Finding quality proven breeders such Snow Bird in Full Accoyo lines are RARE. We know because we are constantly searching to buy and breed for them. Snow Bird is a stunning FULL ACCOYO. Her fleece is elite with tight micro bundled fiber from head to toe. Excellent conformation. She was the second (2nd) cria born out of Karl Mecklams, MEGA CHAMPION Accoyo America Mahatma. Grand Sire is El Nino, Great Grandsire is Caligula. Then we have Dracula on the dams side. Talk about a power house ancestry. Greg Mecklam stated Mahatma was turning out to be one of the best males his Sire, El Nino (deceased) ever produced. His show record was impressive. Few white huacayas in the country could compete. We have very high hopes genetically for her future offspring. Snow Bird will remain in our herd and be added as one of our high quality breeders if she does not sell. SERVICE SIRE: Snowmass Elite We were so impressed with Snow Bird's 2011 cria sired by Snowmass Elite we decided to breed her right back to him for a 2012 cria. Here is what Julie Skinner has to say about her private stud. Elite is the only direct Quechua son born from Snowmass Accoyo Synthesis. Snowmass Accoyo Elite is the all time perfect blend of the Finest of Accoyo Studs Snowmaster, Legacy, Elite, Augusto, & Caligula. Now add our all time Royal Peruvian Female genetics; Peruvian Isabella,Peruvian Melody, Peruvian Jesusa which combine Allianza, Cchonchatanca, and Sollocota genetics. This is why we named him Snowmass Accoyo Elite as he is everything Elite about him and more. He is a stout and perfectly conformed masculine stud male with exceptional head and wool cap and fleece that is bright as the day and fine and dense as you could ask. He is one in a million and one we treasure with great enthusiasm.

HuacayaHerdsire (Male)White
AOA# 35527602DOB: 10/4/20195 yrs
Starchaser is a young male with a long staple (5.5 inches), fineness and a great handle. Chase is super dense with a 2024 fleece weight of 10.2 lbs! Chase's EPDs are remarkable for top 5% for MSL and FW and ranks highly around 15% for the remaining categories. He is very solid with excellent bone and an appealing conformation! Chase has the prototypical triangular head and boxy frame. His demeanor is very calm. He is a proven junior herdsire having settled and produced his first offspring in 2024. In The American Alpaca Journal Issue 2: January 2020 published by Little Creek Farm/Accoyo America and Snowmass Alpacas, Lynn Edens writes the article titled Breeding to Win: An Analysis of the Genetics of Blue Ribbon Show Animals. Specifically analyzing alpacas in the white male classes Lynn says: “Snowmass Elite Legend was by far the most important living sire represented in the collective pedigrees of the winning white male group: 18 of the 60 winning white males were produced by Elite Legend or descendants of his, and they were produced by 14 different breeding programs. He meets every test of prepotency for the production of show stock.” The owner of Snowmass Elite Legend announced that he is no longer settling females. Snowmass Elite Legend genetics can only be obtained from his offspring. We are fortunate to have these elite genetics in Starchaser. His Dam side genetics are also very impressive tool His Dam Estrella is a multi-champion and has been one of our foundation females.

Description

We are very proud to have the opportunity to purchase Willow at the 2017 Parade of Champions. We feel she will make a great addition to our breeding program. Willow is that animal you dream of when you breed two animals together. She has gorgeous uniform fleece with good structure through the length of her staple. The brightness of her fleece has been appreciated since she was a cria and was one of the factors that made us know that we wanted her in our program. Willow is also maintaining her fineness. Willow has a hand that is as smooth as butter. She has a good temperament that makes her an easy handler and good herd member. April 19, 2018 Willow gave birth to a bright white female we named Malakos.
