Sire:
THE ELITE MAXIMUS
| AOA# 832798 | White
|
ELITE MAXIMUS IS CLOSED TO OUTSIDE BREEDINGS AT THIS TIME
At 13 yrs old his 2013 histogram is STILL <19 micron! And that fineness is incredibly uniform, with a comfort factor of close to 100%.
The Elite Maximus is one of those few animals who possess instant name recognition in the alpaca world. His reputation as a herdsire, and before that, in the show ring, is second to none. His many offspring have carried his low micron count and incredibly dense buttery fleece to victory in the showring.
The Elite Maximus started his illustrious show career when he was only 8 months old, winning Res. COLOR CHAMPION at the 2002 Columbia Alpaca Breeders Association show. He then went on to win the JUDGE’S CHOICE Award at the Canadian International Fleece Show and the 2006 AWE fleece show. The Local, Regional, National and International awards and ribbons started stacking up from there! The Elite Maximus transitioned from the show ring to herdsire, that those awards were just the beginning of an amazing, award-winning dynasty.

Inca Trail's Autumn Delaney
| AOA# 30590519 | Dark Fawn
|
Inca Trails Autumn Delaney was sired by Evander, a multiple Champion producer.
Delaney won a number of ribbons during her show career in 2007, including 1st place in the North American Alpaca Show, OABA AlpacaFest, and 2nd in the MAPACA Eastern States Jubilee. Delaney has passed on her bright fleece and gentle personality to Delilah.
Service Sire:
CCNF Tristan

This Elixir son is the total package! Two-time Judge’s Choice in both halter and fleece. He is a 16X champion including Nationals and Futurity. Tristan is stunning from his head to his toes. He has a strong robust frame with exceptional fleece coverage. His skirted blanket from 2018 weighed in at 5.8lbs!! His fleece has incredible density, long staple length, high frequency, and high amplitude. His pedigree is full of color so he would be perfect for a light or dark breeding program. He is just starting his breeding career so get a breeding now and own one of the first cria of this stellar male!!!

Description
5th shearing: Grade 1 Ultra Fine Royal Baby fleece with a comfort factor close to 100%! And this beautiful female's given us four stellar offspring, -- all show string quality: two are banner winners; one achieved 1st place at AOA National show and will show more; and the last one was just born on 6/1/20. WP Elite Delilah will stay in our foundation herd...but there's always a price, right? She's one of the best out there, and she's maintaining incredible fleece stats with a Spin Fineness of 17.7 microns at 5 years old as a breeding female!
If you are looking for the very best, Delilah's offspring are absolutely what you should consider...at least one of them, anyway!
Delilah's 2020 female cria, Arielle, may follow in the footsteps of her half sister, Venus. Arielle is another knockout! Her 2019 cria, Orion, was awarded 1st place at the AOA National Show and has so far accumulated 4 Blue Ribbons. Too bad the Spring 2020 show season was cut short by COVID. Her Fall 2017 cria, Venus, is a real showstopper that took two Reserve Championships at her first show (with both CCNF and Snowmass represented in her class). Her 2016 male cria, Prometheus, also won a Color Championship, and has just started breeding as a herdsire on MMFA's stud row. We have no doubt Delilah can produce the best of the best of the best based on her first three crias.
Please also look at MMFA Elite Maxine if you like what you see here. Maxine is likely to duplicate some of these same qualities, as she is a half sister to WP Elite Delilah that's looking very promising, and she has amazing fleece stats to back it up. And, then of course, there's Delilah's 2017 offspring Venus Rising. But, guess what? Not sure I want to part with her either, especially since her incredible sire, Snowmass Legend Rising, is no longer with us. He's one we definitely would have taken Delilah back to.
Delilah is out of the renowned stud, The Elite Maximus. At 13 years old his 2014 histogram was less than 19 microns! And that fineness was incredibly uniform, with a comfort factor of close to 100%. Wow!! The Elite Maximus was one of those few animals to possess instant name recognition in the alpaca world. His reputation as a herdsire, and before that, in the show ring, was second to none. Sadly, The Elite Maximus suddenly passed away in the Fall of 2016. Delilah is one of his elite progeny.
Delilah has been exposed to CCNF Tristan, a 2x Judges Choice, 16x Champion, for a Fall 2021 cria.
Awards
DELILAH'S SHOW RECORD:
THIRD PLACE MABA CELEBRATION 2014, MD (BEHIND CHAMPION & RESERVE CHAMPION!)
VAOBA EXPO 2014, VA (LEVEL IV, EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE CLASS OF 12)
AOA NATIONALS 2015, NE
MAPACA JUBILEE 2015, PA (LEVEL V, CLASS OF 9)
DELILAH HAS SPECTACULAR FLEECE. JUDGE'S COMMENTS INDICATED THAT HER PLACEMENT BELOW OTHERS IN HER CLASS WAS DUE TO LESS DENSITY THAN THOSE ABOVE HER. WE CAN ATTEST THAT SHE CURRENTLY HAS AMAZING DENSITY AND IS MAINTAINING HER FINENESS, AS A BREEDING FEMALE. FAWN CLASSES ARE SOME OF THE TOUGHEST COMPETITION IN THE ALPACA INDUSTRY.
