UNIFORMITY of character, fineness, and staple length! Amazing high frequency 3D crimp that carries well throughout his topknot, neck, blanket, legs, and tail. He has a wonderful long staple length complete with perfect individual small bundles from skin to tip and phenomenal density. His handle is supreme due to the uniformity of micron between primaries and secondaries. This Herdsire has little medulation which also contributes a superior handle. Superb brightness to his fleece! He "wows" me every time I see him and run my hands through his fleece. He has a perfect head, great coverage, and a perfect bite! Tronador's dam is the full sister to PCA Hemingway-Accoyo Nautilus and dam of Greg Mecklem's current herdsires: Accoyo America Synergy and ACCOYO AMERICA NORTH STAR AC020. Tronador's sire is Accoyo America Endeavor! An Accoyo El Nino son who has been stamping out superior cria. Endeavor is also the full brother to Accoyo America Denali, another fantastic herdsire in the Accoyo America stud row! Take a look at Tronador's Pedigree, there is not one animal in it who has not produced some of the most elite alpacas in the country. Lynn Eden's who now owns Tronador's dam and siblings said this on 8/23/13: "We just got Tronador's dam, Sequoia's, histogram results for this year -- at age 10 she is carrying a 20 micron fleece with a CV of 18.2% and just 1.5% over 30. Tron's older maternal brother North Star has a 19.8 micron fleece as a seven year old working male, and also maintaining outstanding consistency with just 1.8%>30. North Star is back east now, so Tron is carrying the west coast banner for Sequoia's amazing fleece genetics" Tronador's cria are hitting the ground and they are spectacular. He has been bred to a wide variety of dams with different phenotypes and all the cria are perfect little cookie cutter "Mini Trons". Oh, and if you are wondering about color, he is produced 4 solid colored crias when bred to 4 colored females so far. He has not produced a white or light from a colored female yet. He is letting the color pass while adding attributes from his elite white genetics. All his crias are showing early signs of elite fleeces. Born with bright, dense, very well stapled and crimpy, and exceptionally fine fiber on perfect little frames.

Evaluated by Mike Safley to be my best 2013 cria. She does have great conformation to go with that impeccable fiber! Her fleece is very bright with uniformity of character and micron! Beautiful bundling and density. Great dust line courtesy of her crimp and density! She has a very sweet nature and is easy to handle. Her first cria, tronador's buttercup was a hit at the first Snow Diamond Select Auction. She was the second highest selling female. She had tons of attention and everyone seemed awed and pleased to feel and see her. Her second cria was another exquisite female also sure by tronador who sold as soon as she hit the market. Her fleece was every bit as beautiful as the last cria. Jade's last cria from Tronador born in 2020 was another hit, Paca Paradise Princess Fiona. Fiona has been moved into our foundation herd being that she is the last from this cross. After losing Tronador in 2021 we selected to breed her to North Plains full Accoyo male, Amber Autumn Accoyo Selcier for a 2023 cria.

Paca Paradise Proudly co-own's Velvet's Templar with Picotoot's Pack of Paca Farm! He will be available for breedings with them from October through April! Paca Paradise Ranch is extremely proud and excited to add this phenomenal male to our herdsire row. We plan on breeding him to several of our best. We want to thank Brenda Weber of Blue Ridge Ranch Alpacas for allowing us to purchase this stunning male. Templar continued to rise in his show performance as he aged and continued breeding. Templar is fineness extraordinaire! He carries exceptional fleece qualities on a strong-boned, square frame with immense density, complete coverage, and gorgeous phenotype. Staple length is also wonderful. Fineness and uniformity of micron that continues to hold as he ages and is evident by his 2023 histogram at the age of 4. This male continues to improve as he ages and as he breeds. Templar is and exceptional example of what all alpaca breeders should be striving for. His sire is Snowmass Best In Velvet whose offspring are raking in the color champions and judge's choice awards. Templar's dam is true black.

He is genetically stacked to propel any breeding program. Templar is confirmed BVDV negative. 2019 Histogram 17.3 AFD 3.2 SD 18.4 CV 2020 Histogram micron 19.1 SD -2.9 CV 18.5 CF 99.3% 2023 20.1 micron 3.5 SD 17.5 CV 100.0% CF Templar's first cria arrived in June of 2021. This true black male has the most skin folds I have ever seen. He is solid black with shiny dense fleece. He is square with a large bone structure. We had another Templar off-spring and is he ever nice! This male is dense with skin folds down his neck and onto his sides. He is shiny like a new penny. These offspring are phenotypically beautiful!
