Accoyo America Tempest

ARI# 31097352   D.O.B. 5/25/2007  (6 yrs)

Huacaya, Male, Proven | White

Sire: PCA Hemingway-Accoyo Nautilus

| ARI# 820500  | White

| hmmm one of the most famous Hemingway Accoyo crosses and one of Greg Mecklem's Pacific Crest Accoyo America Herdsires.. known for his very fine offspring with low low SD's, high frequency, low amplitude crimp.

Dam: Pperuvian Diana

| ARI# 123093  | White

| Imported from the Cconchatanca Region in Peru, Diana has been in Greg Mecklem's herd since her importation. She is a revered foundation dam.

Accoyo America Tempest is a male cast in his VERY famous father's image (Nautilus).. and the winning cria that Nautilus has produced is a "Who's Who" of the Alpaca Industry [ Accoyo America Typhoon, Sinbad, Apocalypse, and Shanghai, to name just a few..] and his dam is no slouch either, producing Tempest’s full brother Typhoon – who sold for a whopping $100,000 at the 2006 Parade of Champions sale. Tempest has a stunningly bright fleece with high frequency, low amplitude crimp. Long, long staple length, exceedingly organized and consistent.. His 08 fleece had a stunning AFD of 15.5 and an SD of 3.5..WOW…

The results of his skin biopsy (Watt) are just in and they are EXCELLENT!! At 43 months: Density 63/mm2,
Secondary:Primary fiber ratio: 13.3:1 Primary fiber diameter 23.9 Secondary fiber diameter 15.9. Ian Watt points out that, "he has an excellent fiber population differential of only 8 microns. ...a superior fiber for a near four year old working male. " BREAKING NEWS: For 2011 Tempest sheared 15 pounds total, with a blanket weight of 4.9 pounds!!

These fleece characteristics are a tribute to his rare and elite Cconchatanca genetics. The legendary Hemingway, (Tempest's grandsire) and Tempest's dam, Diana, both came from the fabled Cconchatanca herd (see Mike Safley's article about this at the Northwest Alpacas website), said to have vicuna interbreeding dating to the mid-19th century. With the Peruvian/Shining Path uprising of the late 20th century, these genetics were lost to Peru, and those of us who have Cconchatanca alpacas in the US consider ourselves fortunate, indeed.
Tempest has a level topline, excellent leg set, good bone, medium frame and carries fleece from his very nice topknot all the way down. This is a male who will retain his fineness and to whom you want to breed for fine, bright fleeces with high consistency. Tempest has settled his first females with pregnancies confirmed by ultrasound and is ready to GO! He will be standing at Derwydd Alpacas thru 2011.

TEMPEST agists at Derwydd Alpacas in Northern California with Jan and Dale Davis. He will be spending the summer and early fall months of 2013 at RockStar Alpacas near Monterey, CA.

You've seen his histogram, but the results of his skin biopsy are just in, and WOW-WEE!!

At 43 months his density is 63/mm2 Secondary"primary fiber ratio: 13.3:1 Primary fiber diameter: 23.9

Secondary fiber diameter: 15.9 (these data are from Ian Watt/Alpaca Consulting Services, so the "plug" is stretched out to its original 10mm diameter after "fixing". Hence, density readings run "lower", making a 63/mm2 comparable to a higher reading by other labs). Ian Watt states, "For his age, this is an excellent male showing very good density, above average S:P ratio and an excellent fiber population differential of only 8 microns.

While the follicle group sizes show some variation, the other fleece statistics portray a superior fiber for a near four year old working male."

His AFD at 2 years was 18.5 microns. At 3 years his AFD was 19.9 microns.

For 2011, Tempest sheared a total of 15 pounds, 4.9 pounds blanket! Now THAT'S a Fiber Animal!

We can consider flexible financing.
