Magnus
is the last of his full Accoyo sire's line, and has fineness, crimp and
luster in abundance. He is particularly exciting for us, as the grey
markings around his face, and his dark toenails, combined with the color
in his heritage, suggest the potential to produce
elite-fibered colored alpacas. His dam, Goldie
is a full Peruvian light fawn female, with crimp, fineness, good
density and handle, and beautiful consistency to her fleece, which earned
her the second place ribbon in a very competitive 2003 AOBA Nationals fleece
show. A great mother and milker, Goldie has a perfect bite, solid conformation and a gorgeous
head and top knot, and is proven to produce colored offspring. Magnus was
sired by the full Accoyo Trujillo Alto Peru (deceased), an impressive son of
Ppperuvian Mr President and a medium fawn dam, 4Peruvian Eurynome.
Trujillo had incredible coverage and density, accompanied by a consistent, tight
crimp, and at 5
years of age, his fiber was still exquisite - 18.6 AFD with an SD of 3.9 and
0.7 % of fibers over 30 micron. We intend to use Magnus as a herdsire
in our colored breeding program. 
Awards:
When Magnus was only 6 months old,
Tim Lavan awarded him a 5th in a class of 13 juvenile fawn males at
PAOBA in 2007, commenting on his brightness and hand. His juvenile fiber won a second place in the 2007
VAOBA SpinOff, a third place out of 13 entries in the huge OABA 2007

Showcase and second out of 9 entries in the AOBA National SpinOff
