BIG THANKS and CONGRATULATIONS to Mike Martinez from Chasing Rainbows Alpaca Farm for buying Muireall and her 2021 male cria! Blessings on your adventure and hoping Muireall is a big part of it! 2020 EPD results: Ranked 52% for AFD, value —.213: her cria are likely to have a finer fleece than the breed average Ranked 85% for SDAFD, value .119: her cria are likely to have a higher SD than the breed average Ranked 55% for Spin Fineness, value —.168: her cria are like to have an SF lesser than the breed average Ranked 28% for %F>30, value —3.367: her cria are likely to have less micron >30 than breed average Ranked 69% for Mean Curve, value —0.313: her cria are likely to have less curve than the breed average Ranked 95.5% for % Medullation, value 2.797: her cria are likely to have more medullation than average TOP 3.6% in Mean Staple Length, value +3.326: her cria are likely to have longer staple length than average TOP 10.04% in Fleece Weight, value +.541: her cria are likely to have heavier FW than average Birth Weight, value +.179: her cria are likely to have higher BW than average Muireall delivered her first cria (as a 9-year-old maiden) without a hitch in June 2016! This female cria, Khloë, from Snowmass Snow Legend (Rockford Bay Ranch), was over 17 lbs. at birth. Muireall provided lots of milk even though first time older dams often don't. Muireall delivered her 2021 Bradford cria, again with no problem, and has lots of milk! These two were sold to Mike Martinez from Chasing Rainbows Alpaca Farm. We love Muireall's color and so do the folks that visit the farm. She's an eye-catcher and THE alpaca people always comment on. She had an EXCELLENT histogram considering her color for 2014 with 21.4 micron and 95.4% comfort factor and that at SEVEN years! Now she is twelve years old--see her histogram which is better than ever! She's big and pretty, with lots of presence, color, and is quite amusing with her antics. We find Muireall to be quite a stunning creature and is one of our favorites. This girl never slumps but is always very erect and upright, bright and energetic. If she were a horse I'd call her "spirited." Muireall's first year fleece was sold to a spinner and weaver with rave reviews (www.perrytextiles.com). Getting my hands in it and working to get it ready to ship to the spinner gave me a totally new appreciation of how beautiful a fiber it was. We saved 2 oz. for the Great Western Show spin-off in Colorado and won first place! Huzzah! She sells with a reproductive guarantee, 10-day live birth guarantee, free shipping within 100 miles, and an ultrasound to show she's pregnant.

We are EXTREMELY happy to have acquired BRADFORD from Grazing Hills Alpacas! Bradford is the half brother of our dearly departed Dirk. Both are sons of Accoyo-America DIOMEDES who is now deceased. Diomedes imprinted his handsome head and his amazing fleece characteristics to these sons of his and for that reason we jumped at the chance to have another Diomedes boy on the farm! Bradford x Vanora = Kaeleigh: our first Bradford baby born on the farm June 2020. She's a beaut! Kaeleigh is so ...

We are EXTREMELY happy to have acquired BRADFORD from Grazing Hills Alpacas! Bradford is the half brother of our dearly departed Dirk. Both are sons of Accoyo-America DIOMEDES who is now deceased. Diomedes imprinted his handsome head and his amazing fleece characteristics to these sons of his and for that reason we jumped at the chance to have another Diomedes boy on the farm! Bradford x Vanora = Kaeleigh: our first Bradford baby born on the farm June 2020. She's a beaut! Kaeleigh is so pretty we rebred Vanora to Bradford . . . and Kenzie . . . and Muireall . . . and Khloë! Three of those four have had their cria and they have GORGEOUS fleece! Many of our breedings will be to Bradford again. That's just how nice we think he is! Bradford has a beautiful head, nice bite, boxy conformation, wonderfully straight topline, super fleece characteristics. Handsome on all counts! He is an eager breeder, ready for action, and we are offering his drive-by breedings at $600. 2023 Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) results (at 12 YEARS!!): TOP 5% for AFD, —1.864: likely to decrease fiber diameter in offspring TOP 13% SDAFD, —0.407: likely to decrease standard deviation in offspring TOP 6.09% SF, —1.845 likely to decrease spin fineness in offspring TOP 9% %F>30, —6.013: likely to decrease fibers over 30 micron in offspring TOP 17% MC, 2.946: likely to increase mean curvature in offspring Ranked 36% for %M, -1.478, likely to decrease medullation in offspring Ranked 58% for MSL, -.621, likely to decrease staple length in offspring Ranked 68% for FW, 0.062, likely to increase fleece weight slightly in offspring Now that's what we call LINGERING FINENESS! Is it fineness you need? Then bring your girls over, especially your coarser girls with longer staple. With this guy, it's hard to imagine you won't get a better-fleeced cria from a breeding to Bradford! Discounts for multiple breedings.

Certificate Histogram EPDs
Khloë is now bred to Bradford AGAIN for a September 2023 cria. Her first cria from Bradford, born May 2022 is a beauty, IONA! Bradford has fineness and Khloë has length for a terrific combo. Their EPD projects really nice fleece characteristics!

Click on her EPD stats on the side bar. Here's what she is predicted to give her cria from 2022 EPD results:
Ranked 36% for AFD value —0.594, her offspring are likely to have a finer AFD than average
Ranked 54% for SDAFD value —0.055, her offspring are likely to have a lower standard deviation than average
Ranked 37% for Spin Fineness value —0.565, her offspring are likely to have a lower SF than average
Ranked 39% for %F>30 value —2.588, her offspring are likely to have less % of fibers>30 micron than average
Ranked 25.76% for Mean Curve, value 1.685, her offspring are likely to have more curve
Ranked 93% for %Medullation, value +2.128 her offspring are likely to have more M than average. However, "The full impact of medullation remains a question at this point in time" (quote from Yocom-McColl labs).
TOP 8.82% for Mean Staple Length, value +2.208 , her offspring are likely to have a longer SL than average
TOP 16% for Fleece Weight value +0.467, her offspring are likely to have a heavier FW than average

Khloë's 3rd year histogram was even better than her second year! We are EXCITED to have our first Snowmass offspring and she has grown into a lovely lady, proven with an easy & unassisted birth, healthy & hearty cria, lots of milk, and now rebred.

Khloë's sire is Snowmass Snow Legend who has quite a remarkable background. Snow Legend is son of one of the most unique full Accoyo sires in the US, Snowmass Incaaccoyo Star (I-Star), who was sired by the one and only Peruvian Snowmaster. I-Star passed on his great conformation to Legend including bite, straight legs, & straight top line, as well as his FANTASTIC fiber with a tight and uniform crimp, lock structure, density, coverage, soft handle & bundling and luster. Khlo's dam is our own Muireall, a beautiful medium brown girl with lots of Acero Marka genetics.

Khloë is named after our first granddaughter, Chloë. We initially thought our Khloë was going to be born on our granddaughter's birthday--that didn't quite turn out, but we kept the name anyway and our granddaughter was delighted with our choice!
