Peruvian Fine Lenox
Female Huacaya
Bred, Proven
Birthdate: 7/17/2003
Heritage: Full Peruvian
ARI #: 1082159
Color: White
Price: $24,500
Full Peruvian
Lenox is a bright white, full Peruvian Huacaya female outlined
with dark skin pigmentation and a spot of brown behind her
eyes. Her sire is a fawn, award-winning Matador son owned
by Maplewood Farm, and her Dam is one of Maplewood Farm's
PPP Imports known for passing on good milking, high IgGs,
and color to her offspring.
PROVEN! Lenox is just over 4 years old. She delivered her
first cria, Mikasa, in 2006 and her second cria, Saxon, in
2007. Both births were trouble free from delivery to nursing.
Mikasa was shown in a Spring Michigan halter show and awarded
first place. Saxon was sired by our beige Augusto Grandson,
Independance, and is definitely show quality as evidenced
by his presence and developing fleece.
BRED! For 2008, Lenox's next cria will be out of Lord Stanley,
a brown Peruvian Conan son and 6X color champion. Lord Stanley
is owned by Autumn Alpacas, LLC. She was bred to Lord Stanley
to produce color and to ensure that she continues her string
of show quality crias.
All the work has been done. Proven and bred. The return on
your investment could be as early as next year!

Fine Romance
Female Huacaya, Maiden
Birthdate: 5/13/2007
Heritage: Full Peruvian
Color: Medium Rose Grey
Price: $30,000 one of a kind
Full Peruvian Rose Grey!
This little girl is what a fancy is all about. UNIQUE! She
is conformationally correct, stretchy and agile. She is predominantly
rose grey with a smattering of light and dark brown, beige
and white. Her fleece has architecture and is dense, dense,
dense. Her lineage is very interesting in that it goes back
to Silver Cesario and Dracula, some well known herdsires.
Romance seems to have taken on the role as "peacemaker"
in the herd, and is usually the first to greet visitors. I
really look forward to showing her in the spring, and processing
her first fleece into yarn that is sure to be beatiful and
artistic.
Sire: T Peruvian Destino
White, 848019, Full Peruvian
Destino is the result of a Dracula
son and a 1995 Sollocotto Import. His white fiber is
very dense, uniform and exhibits a very low percentage
of guard hairs yielding a very high comfort factor.
His crimp is bold in architecture as well. His bite
is perfect and his large testicles are symetrical. He
was awarded two second place ribbons at his first show,
competed in a very large competitive class at the 2004
AOBA National Conference making the cut and placed 5th
out of 12 at the 2004 MIAF.
He has the right stuff to improve
density, handle and crimp architecture.
Dam: YBNF's Billie's Holiday
Dark Brown, 1211665, Full Peruvian
Billie's background is rich in color (Silver Cesario
grand daughter from the Sire's side, and a Valeroso
grand daughter from her Dam's side). She also has the
great fiber characteristics that we are breeding for,
fineness and 100% comfort factor.

Snow Patrol is the first cria out of our foundation female,
Maggie Mae. He has all the attributes of a quality show animal,
and I am looking forward to showing him next year.
Sire: Chaparral 6011

Chaparral is a full accoyo that was imported in 1995.

herd. Maggie has a superior white fleece background
(Dracula grand daughter from her Sire's side). Her Peruvian
Sire Beligado (white) is an All American Futurity Reserve
Grand Champion. Her Dam Malu (white), a 1994 Peruvian
Import, is a proven foundation animal in Maplewood Farm's
high quality breeding program.
Maggie

our presence near her cria.

Peruvian Saxon
Male Huacaya, Unproven
Birthdate: 5/24/2007
Heritage: Full Peruvian
ARI #: 30015212
Color: Beige
Price: $5,000 Full Peruvian
The first thing you notice about Saxon is his erect presence
and great conformation. He is the first cria out of our Augusto
grandson Independance, and I like what I see so far. Saxon
is healthy, typee, and his fiber is developing nicely. His
blanket color appears to be holding at beige or light fawn.
At this point, he looks to have all the makings of a show
quality male. If you have any questions regarding Saxon, please
contact us.
Sire:TPeruvian Independance
Beige,
842588, Full Peruvian
Independance exhibits the strong conformation of his
sire, Catero, and grandsire, Accoyo Augusto. His dense,
uniform fiber is predominantly beige and is relatively
free of guard hairs resulting in a very high comfort
factor. His pigmentation is dark and his ears are gray,
so we suspect that he has the potential to produce color.
Indy has proven to be a very healthy alpaca with no
skin problems or other issues.
Dam: L Peruvian Fine Lenox
White, 1082159, Full Peruvian
Lenox is a white, full Peruvian Huacaya with dark skin
pigmentation and a spot of brown behind her eyes. She
has a quiet personality and is easy to handle. Her sire
Brio is an award winning Maplewood Farm Herdsire, and
her Dam is one of MWF's original Peruvian imports known
for good milking, high IgG's, and passing on color to
her offspring. Lenox is a natural mother with lots of
milk.

Torino
Male Huacaya, Unproven
Birthdate: 9/7/2007
Heritage: Full Peruvian
ARI Registration Pending
Color: Bay Black
Price: $5,000
Tendu
and Pewter have teamed up once again to produce a healthy
bay black cria. Torino's full sister, Tempo, sold for $29,000
at the 2006 Peruvian Classic Sale to Highland Alpaca, and
is now bred to Pride of America, a Don Timbo son.
It will be some time, but it looks like Torino has the potential
to become an asset to produce color and fine, soft fiber as
his genetics go back to Silvino, a light rose grey male that
was imported in 1998. I am looking forward to showing Torino
next year.
Sire: Pewter
Dark Rose Grey, 819774, Peruvian
Dam: PPPeruvian Tendu 5058

Tendu is a 1995 beige import from the Sollocotá
Cooperative in Peru. When she arrived at Maplewood Farm,
Dr. Jim Vickers rated her a "#8", and she
became part of MWF's foundation herd. In July of 2002,
Tendu became the first production female for Snow Dancer
Ranch. Her crias continue to win in the show ring.
Tendu has proven to be a "hands off" delivery
specialist, providing ample colostrum and milk for her
young, and unconditional nurturing through the early
months.

ARI #: 848019
Color: White
Price: $8000 1/4 Accoyo
1/4 ACCOYO DRACULA GRANDSON!
OK,
he's cute, but let's get serious! Destino is the result of
a Dracula son and our 1995 Sollocottá Import. His white
fiber is very dense, uniform and exhibits a very low percentage
of guard hairs yielding a very high comfort factor. His crimp
is bold in architecture as well. His bite is perfect and his
large testicles are symmetrical. He was awarded two second
place ribbons at his first show, competed in a very large
competitive class at the 2004 AOBA National Conference making
the cut and placed 5th out of 12 at the 2004 MIAF.
This young male has a proven lineage and is now breeding
and PROVEN! He will make a fantastic production herdsire.
Save on breeding fees and transporting your females, some
with crias at their sides, to other farms. He will surely
pay for himself at today's market fees for breeding. He has
the
right stuff to improve density, handle and crimp architecture.
Please contact us for fiber samples, bite pictures, and testicle
measurements.
Breed him to your females that are fine and improve their
density, bundling and crimp architecture!

the sales contract, and a pre-purchase exam by our Veterinarian.
