What do you get when you breed a full sister to the amazing PCA Hemi-Accoyo Nautilus back to her sire? Synergy: 'the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the parts' This aptly-named alpaca is the reflection of his incredible pedigree.
Start with top-quality Accoyo import dam, 6PERUVIAN ACCOYO SICUANI 6410IMPR98. After producing an in-utero import, Greg Mecklem selected the great Alianza import, Hemingway, to sire her next cria: PCA Hemi-Accoyo Nautilus. Known to all serious breeders, Nautilus made a name for himself as a sire of elite-fleeced alpacas. Thereafter Sicuani was bred to the immortal Hemingway, producing four more crias sired by him — including Accoyo America Sequoia.
Following the time-honored practice of master breeders, Mecklem bred Sequoia back to her own sire, to 'lock in' the traits that made Hemingway famous: fine, dense fleece with well-defined crimp and organization. Fleece that stays fine over time. Look at Synergy's fiber stats at SEVEN years old! Synergy's fleece exhibits the fineness, density, crimp style, soft handle & brightness you are looking for!
It was a bold move, and it paid off. Synergy is bred to 'stamp' his progeny with the outstanding traits of his heritage. And he has. Look at their EPDs. Hemingway is gone. Synergy is 75% Hemingway 'blood' by pedigree. Breeding to Synergy is now the closest you can get to breeding to Hemingway himself.
Next take a look at his 2013 histogram, showing an AFD of 20.6 at SEVEN years old. Want more? His recent skin biopsy, taken at age six and a half, reveals amazing density: 65 follicles/sq mm. and an S:P ratio of 12!
His EPDs may be his most impressive feature. His 2014 EPD scores rank him in the TOP 1% for SIX traits. Click on the photo at right to see. Five out of six (83%) of his Offspring are in the top 1% of EPDs as well! Want to have some of the most genetically superior offspring in North America?
