JANUARY 1, 1997 – MAY 27, 2015
How do you write an obituary for an alpaca….by first talking about his background and then what he meant to you.
Chachapoya or “Chach” as we liked to call him came from the famous Don Julio Barreda’s, “Estancia Accoyo Ranch” in Peru.
He was in the last importation of Accoyo Suri Alpaca in 1998 and he was hand selected by Don Julio Barreda to come to the United States. He spent most of his life on a farm that mostly bred huacayas so he was seldom used, to this day his bloodline remains rare. His life thereafter remains shrouded in mystery and scandal as he was sold and then repossessed on a fo... |

So, when I saw that a rare Matrix breeding was donated to the International Alpaca Odyssey in California, I bid to win!

Snowmass Cold Cash Snowmass Cold CashWhite AOA# 32735529 Well, what else would you name the son of Snowmass Matrix CASHmina and Snowmass SEVEN BELOW??
Our "Cold Cash" is a BRIGHT white male with a sturdy and balanced frame, covered with dense, fine bundles of fleece. He has lovely consistency of fleece architecture from his hips to his chest, and down towards the belly. This is borne out by his incredible EPDs that have remained consistently (almost boringly) outstanding for 4 years. His sire, Snowmass Seven Below was Julie Skinner's "not-so-secret weapon" for consistency, and Cold Cash is proof of that point!
You wanna talk retained fineness? His AFD is 19.8 at almost 7 years of age. SDAFD is 3.2 with Cov 16.4 and only 0.9%>30! Talk about uniformity of micron!!
His Pedigree is unrivaled: His dam is a Matrix daughter out of a Legacy/XXXtreme bloodline. On his sire's side there is a lineup of Herdsires of the Year: his sire is Herdsire of the Year Snowmass Seven Below, who is also a son of Herdsire of the Year Snowmass Sub Zero, with Accoyocusani and other notables in his bloodlines. Seven Below was one of Snowmass' top herdsires, and he is considered their "secret weapon" for passing on uniformity of micron and fleece architecture.
Cold Cash had an exceptional introduction to the show ring, winning a blue ribbon and then Reserve Banner of 19 entries at the California Classic. And see how well he did as a yearling!
We had to hold back on breeding on our farm for a few years, but Cash's first cria is gorgeous!! We are still breeding very selectively, but Cash is tops on our list. I'd like to get a few more crias out of him to prove what he can do, so we have a very low introductory breeding price for a limited time. We are considering taking a partner in ownership--if not, we'll keep this gem for ourselves!
Cash is enjoying the mild, damp weather (but windy!) in the North San Francisco Bay area, at our farm in Marin County. |

MRN Matrix Lord of SipanLF Matrix Son, Poseidon G'Son--Winner!! MRN Matrix Lord of SipanHuacayaHerdsire (Male)Light Fawn ARI# AOA# 32791259 DOB: 4/9/20138 yrs
The stars aligned just right, and Lord of Sipan was the result. We happened to have our full-Accoyo Poseidon daughter (with fawn genetics) in Virginia, at Double O Good Alpacas (home of Matrix), to deliver her cria by Royal Fawn. So, when I saw that a rare Matrix breeding was donated to the International Alpaca Odyssey in California, I bid to win! Sipan arrived 12 months later--born at Derwydd Alpacas, he was instantly a favorite of Jan Davis (who knows a thing or two about alpacas). She loved his bright, bright fawn bundles and beautiful crimp style.
Sipan has matured to resemble his sire, Snowmass Matrix (you know--the highest selling alpaca EVER at $675K!) in fleece style, conf... |

Balboa's Fanfare of PVAChampion Balboa Daughter! Balboa's Fanfare of PVASuriFemaleDark Fawn DOB: 10/10/201011 yrs From the respected PVA program, Fanfare is an AWE Champion and Futurity Blue Ribbon winner. She comes from strong black genetics on both sides. Fanfare is an impressive, elegant female with a ram-rod straight back and her sire's perfect head. Nice locking and density, and each of her offspring have had good to outstanding luster (even the huacaya "love child"!). She is an excellent mother--textbook birthings, lots of milk, and a good maternal instinct.
Fanfare comes with a breeding--we recommend our True Black Futurity RC, RGSA Coppola, who sired her award-winning son, Fredo. Breaking News: Fanfare has been exposed to and is spitting off to our National RC male, MRN Accoyo Bracero!... |
RGSA CoppolaMulti Champ--Black as Black Can Be! RGSA CoppolaSuriJr. Herdsire (Male)True Black DOB: 9/16/20156 yrs
We really are "gobsmacked" by this boy, purchased from Bev and Jason Brehm of Rogue Suri Alpacas!
Coppola has had a terrific show career, earning 4 championships (both halter and Walking Fleece) at level 4 or higher shows, plus his first RC at the Alpaca Breeders' Invitational, and beating out his "old man" (Nico) for Color Champion at the 2017 California Classic!
Now that he is shorn, I can really get my hands on his fleece---he has incredibly buttery ropey pitch-black locks that are distinctly well-defined and lustrous. It's almost unnatural--I've never seen anything like it.
And who ever heard of a True Black male in the TOP 5% EPD for AFD!!
His dam, WAP Showtime, is a multi ... |

SoCal Quechua CloudChampion,EPDs-- will upgrade your herd! SoCal Quechua CloudSuriFemaleWhite DOB: 11/27/20147 yrs Just think what an upgrade this female would give to any breeding program! Her depth of pedigree is fantastic, with the late 6P Accoyo Chachapoya as sire and a 1/2 Accoyo dam who had an illustrious show career. Not to mention her EXCELLENT EPDs from 2017 at age 2 1/2 yrs.
Our Cloud is living up to the show legacy set by her dam, Q'orianka (whose 2 previous offspring also have numerous awards). Cloud took a blue ribbon and RC at her first show--she has fineness, density, luster, and the most beautiful handle to her fleece. She's going to be an excellent foundation female.
Cloud sells with a free breeding--we suggest our National Champion, MRN Accoyo Bracero or Accoyo K... |
MRN Accoyo BraceroJudge's Choice Suri at 10 months! MRN Accoyo BraceroSuriJr. Herdsire (Male)White DOB: 12/15/20146 yrs Accoyo Bracero was a long time in the planning, but he sure was worth the wait! We purchased his dam, grand-dam, and dam's half-sister from a farm in Utah in 2012. His grand-dam, Accoyo America Pearl, was the high selling suri in the 2006 Parade of Champions, selling for $80K. Thus far Pearl has produced 3 champion offspring, including Bracero's dam,Accoyo Belita by Accoyo Rico. As the co-ordinator for the Herdsire Auction for the 2014 AlpacaFest West, I had the opportunity to seek out donations of herdsires with whom I would like to breed my girls. I had Belita in mind when I successfully solicited a donation of champion Young Accoyo Bracito from Apex Alpacas. The rest is history.... |
