Minion

Monet is the result of the winning combination of McKala (key foundation female for Blue Ridge Alpaca Ranch) and Accoyo Marksman, multi-color champion fawn full accoyo. Monet has large, straight bone structure. Her bite and conformation developed perfectly (but she could use some braces to straighten out the teeth now). Monet's fleece is uniform in micron, color, bundling, has great density, and crimp. She has a fine handle. Monet would be an asset to ANY breeding program! Her full sibling, Marksman's Mecharios was exported to Canada, and was a Supreme Color Champion at 3 years old! Monet's lineage includes some of the most noteworthy animals in the alpaca industry, including; Timoteo, Hemingway, Express, Albus, Mariah, Heather's Acre Accoyo India, Tayberry, Vengador, Isis, Royal Fawn, Royal Avenger, DPA Mayflower, Kilyo of Star Hill, and Yupanqui. Monet gave us a fawn boy (July 2018) by multi-chamption AVC AJ's Kodiak, who we named Impressionist. Very long staple length, nice character but could be tighter and denser. Unfortunately for Impy, Kodiak's black came through as black primaries in the fawn blanket. Monet delivered a light brown girl by JLFA Millenium's Ventura mid-June 2020 who we named Vermeer after the famous Dutch painter (not the agricultural equipment). Vermeer is friendly, inquistive, and exquisite. Vermeer did very well in the shows, including Nationals. Light brown boy by Campion in July 2022, who we named Monet's Masterpiece, aka Minion. Tight crimp, beautiful head, and his personality is one-of-a-kind! Limited show experience for Minion due to our schedule, but got two blues! June 2024 - Monet delivered a light brown girl by FT Gatsby, a Jumanji son (who we named Monet's Waterlily). Monet is bred for a spring 2026 cria. Time to move some of our herd and get new blood in.
