High Meadow Alpacas- Where Good Breeding Shows!

Accoyo Pulitzer

The incredible Accoyo Pulitzer is now at Highmeadow Alpacas!

Accoyo Pulitzer is one of the top full-Accoyo herdsires in the U.S. with elite bloodlines and a striking presence. He is a son of Accoyo PPeruvian Caligula, widely agreed to be one of the top two Accoyo herdsires ever imported from Macusani in Peru. Caligula was Don Julio Barreda's "business card" to the U.S., and proof of the success and uniqueness of his Accoyo breed. Caligula, who passed away in 2003 with 203 registered offspring, was one of two herdsires hand-picked by Barreda for the new U.S. Accoyo import in 1994.

Not to be outdone, Pulitzer's dam is Vengador's Accoyo Primrose, the 2001 AOBA National Conference halter Reserve Color Champion, purchased by Magical Farms for a then record $58,000. A daughter of the famous Peruvian Accoyo Vengador, she is also a stunning beauty.

The result of this union is Pulitzer, who we had been trying to buy from Magical Farms for over a year. Fortunately, he was consigned to the 2008 Breeder's Choice Auction, where he sold to us for the largest amount realized at the auction. His fleece is soft, with tight crimp that bundles beautifully. We have only felt fleece like this once before, on our Magical Farms co-owned Accoyo Dracula, who must now be 16 years old and is slowing down. Pulitzer is big boned, with a true macho presence, beautiful head, and incredible offspring. Two of his cria also sold in the auction for $28,000 and $25,000!!

We intend to breed Pulitzer to full-Accoyo girls, as there are estimated to be only 500 full-Accoyo alpacas in the country (just 4/10 of 1% of the national herd). In addition, we will breed her to Peruvian girls needing improved bone density , better fleece, and outstanding bloodlines.

Pulitzer will spend June 1- November 30 at Sugartown Farms in New York with his friend STF Jetson, last years black AOBA Color Champion. He will be with us in Tennessee from December 1-May 30, 2009. His initial breeding fee is $2,500, but that will likely be increased. Book now!!
 

Timoteo Samson

Timoteo Samson is a beautiful, noble, fawn colored half Accoyo herdsire. He has a regal stance that he passes on to his offspring, as well as outstanding fleece and a sweet disposition. Not many herdsires will stop and give you a kiss after leaving the girl's pen, to thank you for the "work." So far, he has been "color neutral" in his offspring, delivering the dams' color- a very rare trait while packing on density. His cria include a dark silver grey male, a dark brown female, a dark brown male, a true black female, a white male, a fawn female, and a gorgeous silver grey female. The winner of 18 ribbons, show judge Mary Reed, at the 2003 Southern Select, said "..he has superior fleece, beautiful expression of crimp and density". His cria have taken the show circuit by storm with one female winning 8 ribbons (including a Color Champion) and a young grey male winning 6 ribbons. Samson passes on his sweet disposition to his cria, with everyone coming up for kisses on call. His father, Pperuvian Timoteo, is certainly one of the top five herdsires ever, and we think our Samson is among the top progeny from this stunning line. A picture here shows Don Julio Barreda, "The World's Finest Alpaca Breeder", according to Mike Safley, and the owner of the famous Accoyo ranch, walking with one of his greatest herdsires, Pperuvian Timoteo. His current breeding fee is $1,500.

Also on his dam's side, is MFI Peruvian Black Mesquite (a top son of Peruvian Matador with very limited $7500 breedings available); and PPPeruvian Augusto, one of the alpaca industries all time top herdsires, who sold years's ago for $226,000.

Obsydian has been one of Magical Farm's top black herdsires for years and is the full brother of Peruvian Ivanna, dam of the 2010 All American Futurity Black Female Color Champion, Isabow. These amazing bloodlines are all available in one stud- MFI Peruvian Grindstone, the 2009 AOBA National Conference's black Reserve Champion! His fee $2,250.

STF Jetson STF Jetson has moved south to spend the winter at High Meadow Alpacas and we could not be more excited!! Owned by Timm and Helen Herman of Sugartown Farms in New York, Jetson is one of the most heavily decorated black herdsires in the country. He won EIGHT purple banners in some of the top shows in the country this past year, capping that performance with the 2007 AOBA National Conference Color Championship banner. In addition to his award winning performance, he has exceptional bloodlines. His dam is a Peruvian Dakotia daughter, whose own father was Bueno. The sire is Black Peruvian Royal Forest, an outstanding true black herdsire. Jetson is, "..true black, extremely soft, fine, boldly crimped, very dense, very bright- and totally uniform in fiber across his body. With his elite fleece, a beautiful head, perfect conformation, solid bone, and great presence- he is the total package." He will be available in the South until June 1, 2010, so book your reservation now to the "True Black that feels White!!" His breeding fee is $2,500.

Saracen Saracen is an absolutely phenomenal grey herdsire with impeccable bloodlines. His father is MFI Scimitar, Magical Farms' champion rose grey herdsire that is producing stunning cria. Peruvian Silvio is Scimitar’s silver grey father, and his half-brother is Shaquille, the legendary silver grey herdsire with dozens of top show ribbons and an auction sales price of $300,000. If that is not enough, his mother is a beauty out of Peruvian Dom Timbo, another of Magical Farms top grey herdsires! Saracen has "The Look" that top herdsires must have, and his fleece is truly amazing, and as nice as any we have ever seen. Saracen had an extremely productive show career, winning 24 major show ribbons. The best part of that is that he got better with each show and as he matured- saving the best for last. In his last three shows, (2006 AOBA National Conference, 2006 MOPACA Invitational, and 2006 Southern Select), he took, in order, Color Champion & First Place, Color Champion & First Place, and First Place!! He has already thrown several beautiful greys. His breeding fee is $2,500. Click here to see his awards.

MFI Peruvian Gathering Storm Co-owned with Magical Farms Gathering Storm is a gorgeous male with a pedigree second to none. He is a top son of the phenomenal stud MFI Peruvian Jericho who is only available for limited, restricted breedings at Magical Farms. We feel very fortunate to be able to co-own this monster stud with Magical Farms. He joins our other studs at High Meadow Alpacas, giving us the premier "Southern Gentlemen" in the  South!! Jericho, his father, is a son of Peruvian Dakotia, with a record of show success second to none. Gathering Storm's mother is CPeruvian Jenny, one of Magical's most successful females, and the mother of MFI Peruvan Gladiator. His half-brother, Peruvian Jeremiah, won the 2008 Futurity “Herdsire of the Year” award for both light and dark color classes and in  2009 and 2010 in single color class! Three Championships in a row. In one stud, we have some of the most famous bloodlines in the alpaca industry; Jericho, Dakotia, Bueno, and Peruvian Don Julio. And our guy is no slouch either.  He won 6 Blue ribbons and 3 Color Champions within a year, all in major shows in the halter class. His cria are exceptional, and are already taking their share of ribbons and Championships in the Show Ring. Storm will be standing stud at High Meadow until May 31, 2011 and will return December 1, 2011. His breeding fee is $2,500. Financing Available for Package Deals.

MFI Lethal Weapon's Dakota Dakota is already a beautiful macho, though only 20 months old. Big, bold, proud, excellent conformation. A sweet personality too, just like his dam, Myky, one of our favorites. She is medium silver grey, and erect and proud just like her son, and at nine years of age! On the other side is our famous, Lethal Weapon, co-owned with Magical Farms. Peruvian Accoyo Titan is his sire, who just sold for $250,000 in auction last year. Dakota LOOKS like a herdsire, and just won a very nice Second Place ribbon at the ultra-competitive 2008 OABA AlpacaFest, with strong comments by the judge about his beauty. We will show him in the Spring and work on his resume, and he should be able to throw both black and grey with his background. He has that nice "Logan" head like his half-brother Lethal Weapon, who will be sold in October 2009 at Magical Farms's Breeders Choice Auction. Want a "herdsire to be" in 2009? Check him out and you will see why we have high expectations for him. His breeding fee is $1,750.

MFI Peruvian Navarone It was love at first sight when Michael saw Navarone (winning another blue ribbon for Magical Farms!). One of the highest priced alpacas sold in the 2004 Breeder's Choice Auction, he has phenomenal bloodlines! His father was the deceased Peruvian Dakotia, one of the best sons of the famous Peruvian Bueno, and one of the all-time great herdsires. Navarone’s half-brother is Peruvian Jericho, who is commanding $7500 for his limited breedings and is sold out for several years in advance! Navarone's Mom was even a multiple blue ribbon winner. And speaking of ribbons, he won 26 major show ribbons including multiple First Place and Reserve Champion awards!! His breeding fee is $2,000. Click here to see some of his Awards.

Jeremiah's Peruvian Jay Gatsby Jeremiah's Peruvian Jay Gatsby is the result of combining two of the top bloodlines in the U.S. alpaca industry! On one side is Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah, who recently won both the light colored AND dark colored award for The Futurity "Herdsire of the Year". And he is the reigning champ for the past three years! His restricted breeding fee is $7500. Also in Jeremiah's genetic history is MFI Peruvian Jericho (with 120 Championships won by his progeny!!), Peruvian Dakotia, Peruvian Bueno (with restricted $10,000 breedings), Peruvian Don Julio, and 5Peruvian Inca's Ransom. And that is just on Jeremiah's side of the family tree! Maple Brook Emilie is our top female at High Meadow,who never took less than First Place in any show. Her micron count was 16.2 3.6 22.2 .7, and as a DARK fawn!! Mike Tierney of Maple Brook said, in 2006, "...she is the best Royal Fawn daughter born on our farm to date". PPPeruvian Royal Fawn was the only fawn full-Accoyo stud sent to America by Don Julio Barreda, and is one of the top studs in the industry, with 406 known offspring and 108 known Championships by his progeny. He currently resides at Maple Brook Farm and Double 'O Good farms, where he was purchased for $600,000 and his breeding fee is $5000! Jeremiah's Peruvian Jay Gatsby’s breeding fee is $1,500.

Tai-Pan Co-Owned with Tower Rock alpacas Tai-Pan is the result of the merging of two of the most ELITE bloodlines in the history of the alpaca industry. Royal Fawn and Bueno! Enough said. PPPeruvian Royal Fawn is certainly one of the top herdsires ever, with 406 offspring with 108 known Championships and 392 Blue Ribbons, according to his website listing at Double 'O Good Alpacas. He is a full-Accoyo, full-Peruvian fawn , and was the only fawn Accoyo ever exported by Don Julio Barreda, the world's greatest alpaca entrepreneur. His restricted breeding fee is $5,000 and he is the sire of Dom Lucillo, who recently sold for $400,000. Peruvian Bueno is also one of the top herdsires ever, and was the #1 import from Peru in 1993. He commands a $10,000 breeding fee and his outside breedings are extremely limited. Maple Brook Emilie is the dam, and she is the highest-end female we have ever owned at High Meadow. Mike Tierney of Maple Brook Alpacas and the co-owner of Royal Fawn said.. " (she is) the best Royal Fawn daughter born on our farm to date." Her micron count at one year of age was 16.2 3.6 22.2 0.7 . And for a DARK FAWN!! Emilie never took less than First Place in her show career. Tai-Pan was born early in the Summer, so he was too young to make the Fall shows and has been shown sparingly. A beautiful, two year old junior, he should be ready to start his herdsire career later this year. With $15,000 worth of breeding fees on the two top herdsires on opposite sides, he could be a stunner. Tai-Pan is co-owned with Tower Rock Ranch. His breeding fee is $1,500.

Supreme Hustler Hustler is a magnificent stud with gorgeous crimpy dense fleece that has to be sheared three times a year. His father is the famous Snowmass Millenium, the award winning son of Peruvian Legacy, who sold for $165,000! His grandfather, Legacy, sold for $1.5 million (with $750,000 for half interest) and is the all-time highest priced alpaca. Add in the even more famous Hemingway line in his background, and sprinkle in some Accoyo, and you have Hustler. Hustler is listed in the 2004 Magical Farm's Herdsire Catalog and we feel very fortunate to have been able to acquire him as our high-end white herdsire. He won six national show and fleece ribbons and would have won more but due to his rapid fleece growth the sheerings hurt his show performance. He has a rose grey spot on his hip that cost him in the showring, but indicated the ability to throw color- a great tendency for breeding. Sure enough, his crias are all darker than him, but with that exquisite high-end white fleece. His breeding fee is $1,250.

Timoteo's Emperor Emperor is a beautiful, part Accoyo grey herdsire out of our two most celebrated original alpacas. Timoteo Samson, one of the best sons of the legendary Pperuvian Timoteo, and Josephine, a dark silver grey out of Rainier Grey, a well known grey herdsire. With 35 ribbons in halter and fleece between the two parents, Emperor had a tough family act to follow. But he did, winning 12 national ribbons in halter and fleece events. Emperor's younger full sister won a blue ribbon at the very competitive 2004 OABA AlpacaFest in her first show! His breeding fee is $1,200. Click here to see some of his Awards.

Patagonia’s Amazon Amazon is a rose-grey stud out of the highly acclaimed Alpacas de la Patagonia. His sire was Danko, who has had a very successful career as a herdsire and show star who even now has limited breedings, and his mother is a rose grey female that consistently throws silver or rose grey offspring. Amazon's fleece and leg coverage is exceptional, and he has won multiple ribbons, including a First Place at the 2004 OABA AlpacaFest, Second Place at the 2003 AOBA Nationals, and Second Place at the 2003 Southern Select, all in fleece. His breeding fee is $1,250.

Logan’s Bandito Logan's Bandito is a beautiful dark brown herdsire with some excellent bloodlines.

His breeding fee is $1,000. Click here to see some of his Awards.

MFI King Henry the Eighth This beautiful three year old is ready to become a stud. His pedigree is fantastic, with MFI Peruvian Logan as the Dad on one side and PPeruvian Augusto as his Grandfather; and Jeronimo and PPeruvian Guellermo on the dam's side. He had considerable success in the showring, capped by a Third Place ribbon in the 2006 AOBA Nationals where over 2000 alpacas competed. Look at the picture of him! His head is perfect, leg coverage is outstanding , and oh that fleece. His breeding fee is $1,000.
