SoCal Accoyo Esmeralda

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... (Regrettably, Young Accoyo Bracito died shortly after siring Bracero, who is his last offspring) Now, Bracero's dam Belita comes from a line of big alpacas...but did you ever see the BONE on his sire, Bracito??? Our Bracero is average in size but has strong, sturdy bone, yet a graceful, square suri conformation, with a handsome wedge-shaped head and strong jaw line. His fleece is fantastic--Ropey, twisted locks that are organized to the skin. Wade Gease called it a "sparkly luster" that doesn't quit. Uniform locking and loaded with density over the entire extended blanket. And, no wonder--take a look at his pedigree. What can you add to a background of Accoyos Baron, Baron Lafitte, Ramilo, Inca, Rico, Uribe, Bruxo, Ganador, and Apache II? And take a look at his histogram--at 2 1/2 years of age! So, his first time in the show ring, at the 2015 West Coast Alpaca Show, Bracero took a blue ribbon in halter...and THEN the Color Championship....and THEN the SPINNER"S DREAM/JUDGE'S CHOICE!! The judges were Wade Gease and Wini LeBreq. In 2016, Bracero took a blue ribbon in halter at GWAS (no championship class), and in 2017 he took a blue ribbon and RC in halter at the NATIONAL SHOW!! Oooh, we are pleased with him!! Better yet--he has his first girl spitting off!! He certainly has grown up during this adventure.... Sellers reserve 2 breedings, will do as drive-by or pay for dam's agistment. Half interest in Bracero available for the right buyer. Bracero lives at Alpacas of Marin in the North San Francisco Bay Area.
