Epic Alpacas is pleased to announce the addition of Crescent Moon's Wilkinson to our outstanding lineup of herdsires! Wilkinson is a 10-time Champion and more notably, he's the back-to-back National Color Champion, taking the highest grey male honors at AOA in both 2015 and 2016! Most recently, as a 3.5 year old, he took the Color Championship at the 2016 Alpaca Breeders Invitational in a very competitive group of greys, proving that even after having cria on the ground, he's still got it! It's no wonder that Wilkinson is such an impressive male. His sire, Accoyo America Jason, is a legend in his own time, winning AOBA Nationals Color Champion in brown three years running. It is rare to find such exquisite crimp, character and density of fleece as Jason. Even better, Jason has consistently reproduced those characteristics in his crias, at such a high level that even his white offspring are consistently ribboning in the competitive white classes, and many of his progeny are champions! Wilkinson's dam, Crescent Moon's Forget Me Not, is also a Color Champion in her own right, winning 10 blue ribbons and 4 banners, including 2010 Futurity Grey Female Reserve Color Champion and 2014 CABA Classic 1st Place Produce of Dam. Wilkinson's cria have started arriving here at Epic and we are THRILLED! So much density, so much character, so much grey! His eldest male offspring, Crescent Moon's Subasio, has started making his impact on the show circuit in Fall 2017 with a number of blues and a Reserve Championship at an amazingly competitive double show in Oregon. Enormous thanks to Scott and Debbie Miller of Crescent Moon for sharing this incredible male with us - we are honored and delighted to be partners with them! Wilkinson is going to make one heck of an impact here and on the future of grey huacaya breeding!

Antigone is 5th generation grey! She is a sweet modern dark silver grey out of her tuxedo dark silver grey mom, Gracie Fay. This girl has incredibly luxurious, charcoal grey fiber with the finest sheen! Antigone's great grandsire on her dam’s side, 4Peruvian Pachacuti, is a Studmaster, full Peruvian Accoyo male and is number two only to the renowned Hemingway. Antigone has inherited Pachacuti’s bright, fine fleece. Antigone's sire is Deacon’s Steely Dan, so she also brings in the incomparable genetics of her grandsire, Mile High Deacon Grey, recognized by many to be the “best grey in the world” (with 9 Color Championships, 5 Reserves, and 22 Blue Ribbons). On June 9, 2016 Antigone had a beautiful true black male cria from our 4x champ silver grey herdsire, Sebastian! Antigone is a great mom with lots of milk. Antigone's 2017 cria is a gorgeous tux grey girl from our 10x Champ grey herdsire, Wilkinson!
