Our ranch at Alpine Suri Alpacas in Alpine, Utah.

Alpine Suri Alpacas was awarded Reserve Small Breeder of the Year at the Futurity Show in Oklahoma City. The entries were offspring of 'A Few Good Men' (our herdsires) and are another year's evidence of the pre-potent males who bring excellence into the suri industry. Alpine Suri is dedicated to producing the best genetics that continue to elevate the entire alpaca community. Please contact us to see how Alpine Suri genetics can boost your breeding program.

Herdsires - A Few Good Men

It takes years to establish a line-up of elite suri herdsires. The first component is possessing the ultimate genetics. The second component is obtaining show ring championship success. The third and most demonstrative component entails siring offspring that duplicate that sire in quality and show ring success. Each of Alpine Suri herdsires has an elite suri pedigree, multi-championship success, and offspring who accumulate championship awards year after year.Contact Alpine Suri Alpacas regarding leasing arrangements to have an elite suri herdsire on your ranch

And why the Accoyo Suri?

Don Julio Barreda, at his Accoyo Estancia in Peru, dedicated over 60 years of diligent genetic selection and methodical breeding to develop pure bloodlines of superior suri alpacas. Not only did he perfect conformation in his animals, he bred his Accoyo herd to produce the finest fiber and the greatest volume of this fineness. Fiber processors paid premiums for the fiber from Accoyo. When the Peruvian government opened its borders to the alpaca trade, the rest of the world was awed by the quality of the alpacas coming out of Accoyo Estancia. Never before had the world seen alpacas like the Accoyo Suris.

Prepotent genetics are found within the Accoyo bloodlines and can be very important to the success of a breeding program.

The group who established the American Accoyo Suri Collection in the United States, did a study to determine how well Accoyo genetics have done in the show ring. Considering the largest shows in the industry (AOBA, Futurity, Mapaca, GWAS, OABA), they found that over 80% of the number of color champions in the 2005, 2006, and 2007 shows had Accoyo genetics. The 2005 AOBA and 2007 Futurity shows actually resulted in 100% Accoyo genetics in reigning color champions.

Thank you to Don Julio Barreda for his extreme efforts and meticulous record-keeping to produce these exceptionally superior Suri Alpacas. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to own offspring from the legendary herd sires that graced our land not long ago.
