Accoyo Big Wig comes from some fairly rare bloodlines in the Accoyo arena. BW has a nice square compact build with excellent presense. He has a high frequency crimp (see picture)which comes as a premium in the Accoyo market. He is super dense and very fine.His conformation is flawless. He was shown in some big shows as a yearling and consistently won ribbons 3rd, 4th, 6th places. Judges always liked his fleece, was usually one of the better fleeces in his classes but he was later to mature into his now masculine body. He currently weighs 150lbs.

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.

>Mike Safely loved his fleece and said it was the finest in the class. He thought Bigwig was still a little small, but wouldn't be surprised if he became one the largest mature males in the group.
