Extreme Density, Fineness & Uniformity!

Morning Star's Don Diego

HuacayaHerdsire (Male)Dark Silver Grey
AOA# 30493339DOB: 7/24/200618 yrs
INCREDIBLE DENSITY AND LASTING FINENESS IN THIS BOY His fiber results at just shy of 9 years old are amazing! 2015 Histogram - AFD 20.5; SD 4.4; CV 21.2; %>30 3.3; CF 96.3; still this fineness at 9 years of age for grey is amazing! His biopsy follicle test (via Ian Watt) is even more impressive! Density - 62.8/mm with a Secondary:Primary fiber ratio of 13.1:1. Only 3 grey alpacas have ever tested higher in density and no grey alpacas have a higher S:P ratio (in fact, only 7 alpacas in ANY color have a higher S:P ratio - including white!). You'll have trouble finding a grey to put up a combination of those kinds of numbers anywhere! And Diego’s lineage is impressive, too - PPeruvian Pluro, Danko, grandsire Crescent Moon’s Rayo Del Sol (6x Grand Color Champ) and Sire Emerald Farms Rincon Cloud, 2005 AOBA Silver Nat’l Grand Champion, are enough reason to want him in your breeding program! And if that wasn't enough, check out his EPDs! Diego has many cria on the ground & every one of them is lovely. He is clearly passing on his amazing fineness to his cria. 2014 Epic Alpaca Cria Histograms -- Avenger – 15.23 AFD -- Baratheon – 15.3 AFD -- Ophelia – 15.6 AFD -- Antoinette – 17.98 AFD -- Lazarus – 18.4 AFD LASTING FINENESS RUNS IN HIS BLOOD: Previous Cria Histograms -- Jacob at age 2 - 16.7 AFD -- Joshua at age 3 - 16.4 AFD -- Levi at age 2 - 20.1 AFD Relatives' Histograms -- Diamond (Mom) at age 12 - 23.00 AFD -- Black Pearle (Maternal Sister) at age 5 - 17.52 AFD -- Angel (Maternal Sister) at age 7 - 21.89 AFD -- Axel Cloud (Paternal Brother) at age 6 Diego’s string of blues began in ’07 with a rave review from Judge Wade Gease: “This young man had a presence as soon as he entered the ring…his feet glided across the grass, his toes pointed straight ahead…he’s consistent throughout…good density and wonderful fineness…beautiful conformation”. That was just the beginning followed by Wade praising him again at AlpacaMania for his “exceptional conformation, extreme fineness, beautiful crimp and consistent fiber character”. He continued to stock pile blues and more at every show and fiber exhibition he went to until he began breeding. Diego has a sweet personality, isn’t skittish and comes right to us or visitors. His fiber is exceptional and buttery fine, his micron stats have always been great for a light animal let alone his coloring! They rank right alongside with some of the best in the nation! His fineness, luster, excellent dense coverage, beautiful typey head and strong bone structure will add great qualities to any herd. Thanks to Epic Alpacas & Patagonia Estates for giving us an opportunity to own this amazing boy!
 
Dam: Patagonia Estates Rim of Fire

Rose Grey Greatness

Patagonia Estates Rim of Fire

HuacayaBred (Female)Medium Rose Grey
AOA# 31959643DOB: 8/26/201311 yrs
Rim of Fire has perfect conformation and bite with bright fleece and a soft handle, with a feminine face. She is sired by the rare silver grey herdsire, Patagonia's Amancio who at a young age passed away after obtaining a show record including four First Place ribbons and a Reserve Color Championship. Her dam, Ashes of Roses, is out of David and Brenda Barboza's breeding program. Her first cria, Estates Rich in Mercy, took 4th at Nationals, and at the California Classic Round Up brought home a 1st in halter and 3rd in walking fleece. Her second cria, LIzzy Swann, took home a 1st in walking fleece and a 3rd in halter from the 2018 TXOLAN. She is bred to Elation's Storm of ATV, our multi award winning herdsire. I'm looking forward to seeing what this combination will produce.

Elation's Storm of ATV

HuacayaHerdsire (Male)White, Dark Silver Grey
AOA# 35020745DOB: 7/17/201410 yrs
We have been following this male's career and are wowed by his consistent fleece style and high frequency crimp style. He has excellent conformation with density and long staple length that enhances his style and appeal! Storm comes from a very significant line of gray genetics. He has had a very successful show career competing against some of the toughest gray competition out there. He stands perfectly erect in his conformation. His fiber is well defined and consistent, appearing almost blue in its gray hue and possessing a very lovely handle.
