ACCOYO BIG WIG of MapleBrook

Bigwig is a Full Accoyo, and it shows. He sports an incredible fleece, with blinding lusterous crimp everywhere, a soft touch to the hand, and incomparable density! Bigwig's friendly disposition makes him a pleasure to work with, and hopefully an aspect he will pass onto his offspring.
Bigwig's dam, Oro, is a white Futurity winner. She was first purchased by Mike Tierney (Maple Brook Farm) at the AOBA auction for $48,000, when the industry was still very young, in 1998. We then purchased her mainly because of how impressed we were with Bigwig. Oro was then sold to Windy Knoll Alpacas, where she is now a core foundation female among their herd of many great accoyos.
Bigwig's sire, PCA Accoyo Bolivar, is a premier herdsire at Maple Brook Farm, demanding a $5,000 stud fee. He is one of the densest sons of the famed Vengador, who sold for $101,000 at age 11. Being that Bigwig is a grandson of Vengador, that means he descends from the ever famous Shere Khan, who is the symbol of alpaca breeding excellence throughout the World. There are only 2 known sons of Shere Khan in America, making Bigwig's bloodline very rare and highly sought after.

Bigwig is one of the only full accoyo sons out of PCA Accoyo Bolivar. His sister, Maple Brook Fallujah, sold for $89,000 at the 2005 AOBA National Auction in Utah. This is a rare opporunity to captivate on these extraordinary genetics

Accoyo's Oro-dam

 PCA Accoyo Bolivar

Accoyo's oro

Oro is a spectacular full accoyo production female. Even at 8 years old, her fleece is still amazing, and could easily be mistaken as a 2 yr old’s blanket. Oro’s crimp is so well defined and consistent, that it’s hard to believe she is her age!

Although Oro is an accoyo, her conformation still makes her stand out from the rest. Her back and rear legs are very straight, with a bite that’s right on. Oro is a very solid and strong animal. Her rear legs are very muscular, and she has a solid neck, all the way up to her “box-shaped” head. Like a cherry on-top, Oro still has a great top knot.

Oro is an experienced mother, who’s crias are absolutely spectacular. In fact, the only reason Mike Tierney from the well-respected, Maple Brook Farm, was willing to sell Oro, is because he has kept many of her offspring for his own breeding program. Oro's spring 2004 cria, Bigwig, is a gorgeous full accoyo boy sired by the well-renowned, Bolivar. Bolivar is out of Vengador who is out of the legendary shere khan!

 PCA accoyo Bolivar

"As proud as the South American liberator himself, Peruvian Accoyo Bolivar is one of the densest offspring of our premier Accoyo herdsire Vengador, yet without sacrificing fineness, character and luster. Bolivar is proud, upright, with solid bone and the perfect head of his sire. His sire, Vengador, won the Adult White Class in the 1995 AOBA show and has produced many show winners on the US show circuit. Vengador is renowned for his uniform fleece, at 19 microns at all three side locations. Bolivar's dam, Peruvian Accoyo Tayabamba, is one of our top producing females. Bolivar is the quality of male that can single handedly upgrade a breeding program." (Greg Mecklem, 2000) Bolivar's cria, Maple Brook Fallujah, sold at the AOBA National Auction for $89,000 to Libby & Larry Johnson of Likada Farm Alpacas. Bolivar's cria, Maple Brook Shabu, recently sold for $77,000 at the "Breeder's Edge Auction" in Leesburg, Virginia to Kim & Warren Shand, Windy Knoll Alpacas.

Peruvian Vengador

At 17 years of age this outstanding male requires no introduction to most alpaca breeders. When we sheared his fleece last spring we were totally wowed by a 16-year-old fleece that still has density and a beautiful fine crimp, not to mention the incredibly soft-handle.

Vengador continues to have a huge impact on the U.S. alpaca herd. His beautiful offspring are still winning in showrings everywhere. His cria all seem to have improved leg coverage and bone size. The typey head with the short muzzle and beautiful topknot is a signature of Vengador's.

In March 2008 while attending the Virginia Classic, we decided to enter our three Vengador offspring in the Get of Sire Class. Vengador placed second, proving that those orignal imported genetics are still making an impact.
