851697 White As an impressive, nationally recognized, elite herdsire, Apocalypse has proven himself with an almost unmatched record spanning not only recognized and proven EPDs, but show winnings, and progeny that follow in his footsteps.
HOW DOES APOCALYPSE FIT YOUR BREEDING PROGRAM?
Some focus on pedigree and show winnings. Apocalypse is a national champion. Both his elite fleece and perfect conformation have been validated in the show ring, placing above herdsires like Snowmass Matrix (2004 Futurity). Apocalypse is son of Accoyo America Nautilus, and big brother to herdsires like Mahatma and Road Warrior. His elite genetics are built on the foundation of Hemingway and Accoyo Sicuani, with a 3/4 Accoyo and 1/4 Hemingway pedigree.Some focus on histograms. Apocalypse had a 15.2 micron fleece in year 1, and only a 21.5 micron fleece in year 8. In 2018, at 15 years old he had a 22.5 micron fleece. That's the kind of lingering fineness everyone should be breeding for.Some focus on progeny testing. Apocalypse is not only a multiple champion, but he has sired champion offspring. He has over 70 offspring, with an average AFD of 19.5 at 6 years. A couple years ago, Apocalypse offspring made up 25% of the top 100 male and female EPDs sorted by AFD and AFW. In 2015, 4 Apocalypse sons are ranked in the top 50 EPD Huacaya males for fineness.Livestock Breeding Experts Recommend EPDs. Experts will tell you that when breeding for genetic improvement, the most predictable improvement is achieved through study of EPDs that evaluate genetics in ancestors, siblings, and offspring while statistically eliminating the environmental factors. Apocalypse is in the top 2% for fineness, spin fineness, and curvature. He's in the top 3% for %>30, top 4% for standard deviation, and top 7% for FW (which is awesome given his top ranking AFD). While individual traits are important, we breed for a combination of traits. Apocalypse is one of the top 10 herdsires, East of the Mississippi, for fineness and density as proven by EPDs (based on top 150 AFD, sorted by AFW).WHAT APOCALYPSE WILL DO FOR YOUR BREEDING PROGRAM
Apocalypse is one of the most prepotent offspring of PCA Hemingway-Accoyo Nautilus. Starting out with a multiple championship show career Apocalypse has produced significant results as a herdsire.His offspring have great conformation, full fleece coverage with beautiful heads that always do great in the top white and light classes. In addition to proven EPD's, Apocalypse has had many Get of Sire wins frequently placing ahead of more well know names such as Barnabus and Elite Maximus.By any measure he is an impressive and unique herdsire. Based on EPDs, progeny, pedigree, and measurable traits, we know he'll improve just about any white female alpaca... but he also has a proven track record producing color.ACCOYO AMERICA APOCA Dam: EON TaylorMade ARI#
32748871 White Taylor has all the makings of being a powerhouse foundation girl. From her super-dense and super-fine, uniform fleece, to her championship pedigree from both mom and dad, the deck is stacked in her favor. She's a daughter of National Champion Hadassah who took the RC @ Nationals at almost 4 yrs in 2013, and her dad is none other than Apocalypse's Hemiaccoyo Coppertop who took the RC @ Nationals in 2012.Based on her genetics and fleece characteristics, she'll likely show best with a mature fleece, but at her 2nd Juvi show she took 1st in a large competitive class. While being smaller in size, Taylor shears one of the heaviest fleeces on the farm.EPD ranking for fineness:AFD -1.132 0.201 3247 of 35933 * TOP 10% OF ALL FEMALES In May 2017 Taylor had a beautiful white female cria with Apocalypse. She's covered in very dense tight bundles of fiber. At this early date we expect her to win the "best crimp" award from this year's crop of crias.She's currently expecting a Snowstorm cria. Given her density and his fineness, it should be a knockout.Taylor is one of the smallest alpacas in our herd, but her 2017 fleece was over 9 lbs. Given our focus on breeding for larger alpacas, this isn't ideal for us. If you're looking for a smaller alpaca that's a fleece machine, she's your girl.We are a small farm and need to make room for new up and coming cria. That's why we're offering an excellent female bred to Snowstorm at such a great price. At this price, she won't last long.
Description
When your mom's parents are both National Champions and your dad is a National Champion, you know you're kind of a big deal. Talamore has all that and more. She has excellent fineness, crimp organization, and density that will rock your world. She also has great conformation and heavy bone structure.
Like mom, she's on the smaller side, but great things do come in small packages.
Many are breeding for smaller alpacas that are easier to handle, but that's not our plan. Given that one of our top goals is larger alpacas, Talamore isn't a good fit for our program. However, our loss can be your gain.
At 10 months old she's weighing in at 80 lbs. Talamore is one of the smallest alpacas in our herd, but she's a fleece machine. Her mom had a 9 lb fleece and Talamore, with longer staple (from sire), should have over a 10lb fleece as an adult. Given our focus on breeding for larger alpacas, she isn't ideal for our breeding program. If you're looking for a smaller alpaca that's a fleece machine, she's your girl.
We are a small farm and need to make room for new up and coming cria. That's why we're offering an excellent female at such a great price. At this price, she won't last long.
