Lovely Crias! Bred to Houdini

Fortunato's Ali-Accoyo Raina

ARI# 32412192   D.O.B. 5/15/2011  (7 yrs)  (Due Date: 9/2/2019)

Huacaya, Female (Bred), Proven | Medium Fawn

Full Peruvian

Sire: Heather's Acre Accoyo Sirius 

| ARI# 30711457  | White |

"Wow" is the first word generally spoken when anyone looks at Sirius. Judges think so too. Sirius is truly an elite white full accoyo male. He is the unique type of male you would search for and never find on most farms in North America. By eight months of age, Sirius had won a blue ribbon in every show he attended, a white male color championship and two white male reserve color championships. His show career has certainly had an impressive start.

Sirius's dam has consistently produced blue ribbon winning cria and color champions, including both of Sirius's full siblings. His sire, Odyssey, is a champion himself. The list of Sirius's grandsires is a veritable who's who of famous Huacayas, including Vengador, Alexander, Godfather and The Last Don. With that lineage, you are bound to have a genetic advantage.

Sirius is a conformationally sound, perfect package. His lusterous, white fleece just hangs in beautiful, full bundles, bursting with character. We are extremely excited to see the incredible results that we are confident Sirius will create with the girls in our herd and for any female he breeds.

Dam: HDF Rachel Ann 

| ARI# 1013498  | White |

Rachel is a Full Alianza beauty! She is a big, solid Predictor daughter and a Hemingway granddaughter. She has a very mild temperament like her sire and grandsire. Rachel's soft, fine fleece has nice, high frequency crimp and a very long staple length. Her fleece is very dense with excellant coverage and spectacular handle. Rachel is a outstanding mother. She is extremely attentive and nurturing. Rachel is a great girl straight from our foundation herd. We have 5 daughters from Rachel and multiple blue ribbons from them. A PROVEN PRODUCER of beautiful cria and a great mom.

Service Sire: Alpaca Palace's Houdini 

| ARI# 31844796  | White |

This PREPOTENT Sire that throws COLOR gets all the credit for Alpaca Palace's existance!!! He has produced multiple Champions and numerous ribbon winners.

His offspring are cookie cutter consistent. He passes on his extreme brightness, fineness, high frequency character, consistency throughout the fleece and his Extreme DENSITY and BRIGHTNESS. Houdini produces color about 70% of the time when bred to color. Add that to the fact that Houdini also greatly improves conformation which gives the advantage of breeding to an average quality female his ability to leap generations in quality of his offspring. His crias have beautiful heads, square frames, straight legs and great width of chest and rump. When comparing his offspring's fleeces, they are very easy to identify because of their brightness, fineness, consistent character and style. His crias are very vibrant and quick to stand and nurse at birth. They are smart and easy to train. His daughters are GREAT moms, easy birthers with lots of milk and wonderful mothering instincts. As breeders, this is what we all wish for in breeding seed stock foundation females and in the care of their young and their young's ability to thrive.

Let's show some data:

Houdini's skin biopsy results, prepared by C. Norman Evans, DVM, at 4.5 years of age are as follows:

"His 15x scan shows fiber clusters mostly uniform in shape and placement but irregular in size. Houdini's true density is 82.93 follicles SQ MM of skin while 25 fiber clusters show an average S/P of 10.2 to 1. He shows level 3 of 4 glands which should relate to fiber brightness and appears to be a genetic trait passed from the male to their offspring. Less that 10% of Houdini's secondary fibers show medullation which should relate to excellent handle. 100 secondary fibers average 21.3 microns while 50 primary fivers average only 26.1 microns for a variation of only 4.8 microns. Houdini's fiber stats place him in the top 1% of huacaya males that I have tested."

Proudly Co-ownded with Crossed Arrows Alpacas

Check out Houdini's outstanding pedigree including well known great producers on his top side like Bravado, Bueno, Hemingway and on the bottom in color like Maverick and Matador!

Raina's been bred to Alpaca Palace's Houdini for her 2019 cria. We can't wait to see the results, but we're pretty sure it will be something very special! Houdini continues to produce champions, and Raina produces very nice crias with outstanding fleece length and density...we just wish she'd produce a female for us!

Raina's a high quality foundation female that produces high quality offspring. She's a full peruvian -- 1/2 Accoyo, 1/2 Alianza -- medium fawn daughter of Heather's Acre Accoyo Sirius. She has abundant, bright fleece, with excellent density and coverage right down to her toes. She has stellar conformation, with great bone and an awesome head! In addition, she's a great mom and she has an incredibly gentle disposition. Her lineage includes Hemingway, Vengador, Predictor, Odyssey and others.

Her 2018 MF cria, Titan, was out of Sunset Hills Zagato. Titan's web page will be updated soon...he's no longer included with Raina, but you can see him at the CABO Show in February. He's turning into a really nice young male! Zagato offspring have been winning in the show ring, and they are highly sought after. He is now closed to outside breedings, so we feel fortunate to have gotten this little guy! Looking at Titan this early, it appears he'll follow strongly in his herdsire's footsteps, and he definitely carries the amazing fleece length and density of his dam. See Titan's web page for more info.

We rebred Raina to Zagato because we were so pleased with the same pairing that produced her MF male, Hyperion, in 2016.

Raina's 2015 DB Male, Celestial Bruno, is a beautiful herdsire that has produced two of our 2018 crias.

Note: Special pricing available for multiple alpaca purchases.
