Derringer is a young Jr. Herdsire from Studmaster NGG Accoyo Caezar. He exhibits great lock structure, a perfect head and a beautiful golden color.
El Dorado Maverick
This boy has a unique color. Medium fawn with grey in his face and chest. From MFI Peruvian Providence and our Melody, we liked this pairing so much we did the same breeding again.
JA Melody
Melody is a very dense proven producer of color even when bred to white. Her first cria was Melody from the white herdsire Peter The Great of Alpacas By The Sea. We then bred her to silver grey Aussie Rockford and she again gave us a black female. Her third breeding was to Studmaster Brunello and she produced a true black male Johnny Cash who has awesome fiber. Since she has such strong color genetics we have decided to breed her to Studmaster male Providence and are hoping we will get a combination of her strong color and his elite fiber characteristics. Since we now have two breeding females from her we are offering her for sale at a fair price. She is sold with a female guarantee. If you don't get a female offspring from this breeding, we will breed her back free to Providence until you do. Melody is due September 6th, 2008.
MSA Peruvian Brunello
If you like tightly stapled, shining dark fiber, this is your boy! Now, this is a stunning fleece in a dark color. It's no surprise because Brunello is the grandson of another Studmaster male, MSA Peruvian Cannonero's, dam. So, on top of Cannonero's, Hemingway and Accoyo Camilio ancestors, you add Accoyo's Dracula and Accoyos Santino from Brunello's dams side. Santressa, is that dam and what a female she is. Now owned by Libby from Magical Farms she's a true elite dam. Can you imagine your colored daughters bred to Brunello because he will instill the quality of the best white fiber into your colored heritage? Brunello was the Reserve Champion to Cannonero at the 2003 Redmond AWE Show. Please note the 19.5 CofV which is excellent for a dark fawn fleece.
El Dorado Cameo
Cameo should be an outstanding producer of white or colored suris. Her sire is full Accoyo Studmaster male Tiago Primo. She is being bred to full Accoyo Sir Baronoff in the Fall for a 3/4 Accoyo cria due in Fall 2008.

Godivia of AJG
Godivia was a special find for us. A few days after we purchased her she delivered a beautiful fawn female suri from LCA Zambesi, El Dorado Geneva. This next cria should be really special, as we have bred her to Gambini of PVA. This could be a color match made in heaven. Godivia comes with a breeding to any of our herdsires.
MFI Peruvian Providence
For huacaya breeders we offer MFI Peruvian Providence, whose sire is Accoyo Titan - sire of multiple show winners and a direct Accoyo import. Providence's dam is Primadona who is the daughter of Ppperuvian Mr. President who sold for $155,000 in 2002 at 11 years of age. This was before the recent surge of high prices for well known herdsires. In other words Providence has pedigree to burn. Providence's fleece is the extremely bundled, high frequency style that we like.
Crystal IMPG98
Crystal is a outstanding proven producer who has given us three quality cria. Barreda from Bruxo, Crystal Baroness from Sir Baronoff and now a second female, Crystal Ice from Accoyo Yoder.

Let's see what his color can bring to our Sierra.

Alpaca Fiber from the Textile Point of View
By Mike Safley

Shear Success
By Susan Muther | HaSu Ranch Alpacas
Alpaca fleece can be quite valuable. It is cherished by those all over the world who appreciate luxurious garments. As alpaca breeders, our focus is on the quality of the fiber produced by our alpacas. Part of that focus is treating that fiber as the valuable commodity it is. One of the most important days of an alpaca breeder's year is shearing day. Shearing day is when the precious fiber, the reason alpacas are owned and bred, is harvested. Alpacas are sheared only once a year and produce on average between 5 -10 lbs of fiber but only 2.5 to 7 lbs of that fiber is prime quality fiber...
