Alpaca Breeder Farm

---

We'd like to welcome you to Accoyos of Virginia in the beautiful and historic Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where we are the primary caretakers of these wonderful animals. With the only outside help on the farm being a young woman who helps us daily with feeding and pasture clean-up, we feel that we have a very strong working knowledge of each animal’s behavior and medical history. Because of our active involvement, nothing is left to chance and there is little opportunity for anything to fall through the cracks.

Accoyos of Virginia, LLC was an idea brought to fruition in 2005. Since getting into the alpaca business in 2000 with full Peruvian alpacas and seeing the ease at which quality sells, we decided to ratchet it up a notch and focus strictly on full Accoyo. It is our desire to carry on the benefits of genetic gain begun by Don Julio Barreda’s breeding program at Estancia Accoyo.

We invite you to take a closer look at our proven herdsires. They are all full Accoyo and are direct descendents from Don Julio Barreda’s Estanchia Accoyo breeding progam in Peru. These herdsires have proven their worth in the show ring having won blue ribbon after blue ribbon, along with banners, and of even greater importance, they are consistently producing offspring that are displaying the most desired fiber qualities along with correct conformation.

Much thought goes into each breeding decision so that the outcome is the best it can be. We refuse to remain static and are always on the lookout for new and different Accoyo genetics so that we can continually improve each generation. Breeding our genetically superior herdsires to our high quality hembras, we have produced healthy crias with amazing brightness, extreme density and fiber architecture. We are exactly where we want to be… our offspring, we feel, represent everything we have set out to accomplish, including that magical term, “lingering fineness”. Check out our herdsires’ histogram results and you will see what we are talking about.
