Victoria had a cool surprise for us when we went to feed this morning……
We have been waiting for this little girl for almost a year as Victoria gestated for 359 days. Bailey weighed in at 18lbs and is Victoria and Stonewall’s second female cria! Their first one, Fayette, is now in our breeding program and we plan on breeding her this fall to Express’ Masterpiece Renoir. Renoir is the son of Accoyo Express the son of Accoyo Albus who has only five registered offspring in the US, making that bloodline quite rare. I am really excited about this upcoming pairing.
Here’s a quick look at Renoir…..
Renoir is a fabulous looking male. He has given us 6 blue ribbons, one reserve color championship and a ribbon that I think is really cool – a Best Crimp! His fleece is exquisite – dense, crimpy and shiny with bundling galore and a 19 micron.
Renoir will be at Hill Country Alpacas this fall to begin his breeding career. He will continue to go to shows, too.
She is my favorite color—I also like the way they sit down—we r back from StL–good time when not in contact with u know who don

Hi Leigh,
Just getting caught up on your blog. Congratulations on Bailey! She was definitely worth the wait wasn’t she. What a gorgeous girl.
Renoir looks to be a beautiful male. Let’s hope Fayette doesn’t make you wait 359 days like her dam did.

What a gorgeous male with such LOVELY crimp. I see why you use him as herdsire. I also see why the many ribbons! Great guy!!
And . . . such a pretty little female. She is a beautiful color, and looks just downright adorable.
