At the 2006 North American Alpaca Show, Quentin placed third behind the Color Champion and Reserve Champion.

Comments on his fiber from the 2006 MAPACA Jubilee also noted his fineness and great staple length, awarding him 19 out of 20 on fineness/handle and 7 out of 7 on length. Most recently he placed second behind the Color Champion again. Kristin Buhrmann's comments were great conformation, great fleece! She noted his crimp from shoulder to rump, excellent bone, broad chest and coverage.

Handsome Devil
Handsome Devil (1/2 Accoyo) has a well-locked, lustrous dense fleece on a perfectly conformed and balanced frame.
His dam, Sal, is one of Tillman's best producing Bolivians.
Handsome Devil's maternal line is impressive as Sal has been amazing no matter who she is bred to and a couple of her outstanding get include Tillman's The Big Kahuna and Luster Supreme.
His sire, Pperuvian Miguel, is an outstanding herdsire who has built the foundation of Super Suris award winning herd.
He has sired all suri offspring and many are show winners.
He has excellent luster and he still locks to the skin.
Miguel was 1st Place Get of Sire at the '01 AOBA National Show.
Handsome Devil is 23.6 micron with a Mean Scale Frequency of 5.8 scales/100 microns on his virgin fleece and 4.9 scales/100 microns on his second fleece, one of the best of the Tillman's Electron Microscopy study!
This is an amazingly bright fleece.
Peruvian whites average 7.5 scales/100 microns.
The lower the number the brighter the fleece.
Handsome Devil is a highly evolved white suri and offers luster, density, locks and conformation.
He produced 4.5 lb skirted blankets on his 2nd and 3rd fleeces and in 06 3.5 lbs of leg wool.
Now that is pretty extreme!
Hidden Hill Peruvian Dually
Dually is the 2009 Futurity/MAPACA White Huacaya Male Color Champion, and we are proud to have produced him here at our farm.
Only two breedings remain available through Spring of 2010!
Hidden Hill Peruvian Dually
Introducing the 2009 AAA Futurity and MAPACA White Huacaya Male Champion, our own Hidden Hill Peruvian Dually.
His introductory stud fee of $2000 will be gone once his cria hit the ground this summer!!
High Interest
High Interest has densely packed 1/8 inch thick locks and has produced five 5.0-5.5 HEAVILY skirted blankets (7lbs unskirted) in a row!
He was the yearling Champion Dark Male at the 2002 N.W. Alpaca Showcase and second (shorn) to Kobe of PVA at the AlpacaOdyssey.
Hunter Hill Dimaggio
Dimaggio has an extremely bright, fine fleece. He's Accoyo on his sire's side (The Last Don), and Hemingway/Bueno on his dam's side.
His dam has 20 AFD / 21 CV fleece at 4 years old, 10 crimps per inch and has one of the densest fleeces we've ever seen.
Dimaggio's confirmation is perfect, and he is the friendliest cria we've had on our farm. He has ultra-fine fleece, crimp (AT LEAST 10 per inch) from the skin to the tips and....as if that's not enough...just look at the head on this boy!
In his first show he placed 4th in one of the most competitive white juvenile classes ever! The 2007 NAAS had 5 juvenile classes of 14-15 animals in each class. The class Dimaggio was in included most of the top farms in the country!
Judge Amanda VandenBosch described him as having "very fine fleece" with "very organized fleece character and long staple length".
At MAPACA, the judge said that Dimaggio was "definitely the finest fleece in the class".
This junior stud is only going to get BETTER and BETTER as he ages.
IF Ezra
Ezra has fine, dense, and crimpy fiber like his sire, 17X Champion, A.L. Paca's Revolution, who is medium silver grey. He also has his sire's easy-going disposition and is a joy to handle. Ezra made his show debut at the Big E. He was first in his class and Reserve Color Champion. Nice start. He will most likely be ready to breed for Summer 2011.

2nd/~6 Green Mountain Fall Spectacular 2010 (Judge Jill MacLeod)
IF Santiago
We were pretty sure that this guy was something special on the day he was born with such curly wet fleece.
He's a yearling, but to look at him you would think he's ready to start his breeding career, due to his well developed frame. When you see him, the first thing most notice is his beautiful head with short muzzle, correct ear set and shape. The eye is then drawn to his balanced frame supported by a set of legs even a runway model would appreciate. His motion and gate is fluid(in fact, we imagine him carrying a container of water on his head and not spilling a drop as moves about).
And, as to his fleece...
Glowing brightness (like his dad's)
Super soft handle
Superb coverage with a dense top knot and heavy fleece to the ground
Remarkable consistency in terms of fineness, crimp frequency and amplitude, staple organization, and (perhaps most important for a black) color.
Besides A.L. Paca's Revolution, his pedigree includes the genetic powerhouses: Peruvian Bueno (Alianza) and Accoyo's King, Royal Fawn and Caligula.
In Feb. 2011, Santiago won his third Color Championship!!!
Santiago is co-owned with Doug & Denise Caldwell of A.L.Paca's Farms and should be ready to start breeding in the spring of 2011.

Sixth Day's Stellar Prospect
Breeding for Elite Fleece we all know is a great challenge,
breeding an animal already displaying Elite qualification is just that much more difficult.
Enter Stellar Prospect.
Blending two of the most influential Alpaca Sires ever, Bueno & Hemingway has produced undeniable lasting finess in their progeny and we believe this characteristic must be indelibly stamped on this young male.
Given the high quality females in his storied pedigree, NWA, LTD Marcie, PPPeruvian Dorsett, PPPeruvian Salutation, and PPeruvian Macarena; Prospect has enormous potential to become a prepotent sire in his own right.
Rarely do you see a pedigree of this quality with each animal contributing to the goal for which that animal was bred.
Prospect shows every promise of being what he was bred to be; a prepotent sire of long lasting fineness, the future of our industry.
Proudly Co-owned with Sixth Day's Farm, Stellar Prospect is currently residing at StoneGate and we will begin using him to breed into our program this spring & summer of 2011.
Note: Stellar Prospect suffered injury before StoneGate acquired him and ended a potential show career.
While disheartning to not be able to display this extraordinary young male we were so impressed by him and the potential of his progeny that we couldn't wait to partner with Sixth Day Farm and get him on the ground in Vermont and working.
At StoneGate we are convinced the wait will be more than worth it.
SLEEPING MONK FARM ARISTOTLE

The Alpaca Fiber Market
By of Ann Arbor Alpacas GLAA member Kara Heinric
The U.S. alpaca fiber market is still being developed. Currently, it's a combination of some cottage industry and some commercial processing. Even just 5 years ago, most alpaca fiber was processed or sold directly by the breeder themselves. While this can be a lucrative way to handle each year's clip, it's time consuming and ultimately the market is limited by the number of handspinners or craftspeople in an area. As the alpaca industry grew in the United States it became clear that supply would outstrip demand...

and about 15,000 in Canada...

Chorioptic Mange in Alpacas
By Ibiwisi Alpacas Catherine Connor
The summer is winding down and our thoughts are turning toward the cool
days of autumn. After this season of extreme humidity, the alpacas will
be thrilled with the brisk weather, as will I. I've heard quite a bit
of buzz in the last few months about cases of odd skin conditions in
alpacas, and often these conditions have turned out to be chorioptic
mange. Whether the number of cases have increased or there is just more
talk about it is unclear, but it seems to be here to stay...
Shearing Alpacas

When Farm Accidents Happen
By Foss Mountain Farm Alpacas Lana Nickerson
I was reading recently about the high incidence of accidents on farms. That article was talking about accidents that happened to people. It didn't mention about farm accidents that affect animals. We learned first hand about that in early June, and it happened to one of our favorite alpacas, dark fawn Brown Eyed Girl...

Alpaca Fiber from the Textile Point of View
By Mike Safley
Once alpaca fleece is in the bag, what is it worth? The textile
manufacturer could not care less whether the fleece available for sale
came from a prize winning stud or the herd's ugly duckling.
Understanding what qualities the buyer desires most is the key to
getting maximum value from alpaca fiber production...
Alpaca Fiber: Color Contamination

Alpacas come in many colors; on occasion, too many colors. Dark-colored

Alpaca Purchase Contracts
Every purchaser should require a written contract when acquiring an
alpaca. A typical contract will call for a veterinarian exam certifying

Alpaca Values
An alpaca rancher with a small herd on a small acreage can expect to
harvest his animals' fleeces and sell their offspring profitably. The
value of alpaca fleece and finished products made from that fleece is

Blue Eyed Whites
By D. Andrew Merriwether, Ph.D., and Ann M. Merriweth
Much controversy and secrecy revolves around discussion and use of
blue-eyedwhite alpacas (BEWs) in breeding programs. Blue-eyed white
alpacas are all-white alpacas, with blue eyes, which are often (but not
always) deaf. Recently some alpaca farmers have suggested that the BEWs
should not be used for breeding so this gene can be eliminated from the
American alpaca gene pool. This suggestion reflects some of the
misinformation that surrounds the issue of BEWs...
Breeding and Birthing
By GLAA members Lorrie and Randy Krause of Alpaca Acr
The foretelling signs of imminent birth vary from dam to dam, but can
include frequent cushing then standing, hanging around the dung pile,
dilated vulva or any change in behavior. A normal unassisted birth
usually takes about 45 minutes once started. It begins with the cria's
nose peeking through the vulva. Next, the fore paws should emerge.
Then, the entire cria...
BVDV - Should you test your herd? Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus
By Deb Wright Wright Choice Alpacas
This is for all of you who haven't decided yet. Perhaps it seems like a
big expense that you don't need right now. Maybe you think that you

Capital Requirements
Prices for shelter, fencing and labor vary widely based on geographic
location, as well as individual needs and tastes. For example...
