Illini's Black Opal

MFI Peruvian Monolith, known here as Mono, brought strong bone, a substantial frame, and dense fleece to our breeding program at Elderwood Farms in Millington, Tennessee. A champion son of MFI Peruvian Candyman, he certainly had the presence to match his name! Although Mono has been sold, his genetic line remains represented through his offspring. During his time here, we especially appreciated the uniformity, defined structure, and staple length he maintained as a mature male. His offspring also gave us much to appreciate, particularly their density, fleece organization, and reduced visible hairiness. Mono earned Color Champion and first place in halter at the 2014 PAOBA Breeders Showcase. Notable Genetic Lines: • MFI Peruvian Candyman - Sire; six-time Color Champion and champion producer. • PC Running Late 557 - Paternal grandsire; Reserve Champion and Best Handle winner. • 6Peruvian Accoyo Titan 5055 - Paternal great-grandsire and Get of Sire winner. • My Peruvian Megan - Dam; Color Champion and Reserve Champion. • PPPeruvian Royal Fawn 6014 - Maternal grandsire and Get of Sire winner. Notable Offspring: • ELWD’s Little Miss Know It All - Harlequin Appaloosa daughter out of ELWD’s Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong. • Elderwood’s Kickstart - Dark brown son. • Elderwood’s Manifestation - Light fawn son. • Elderwood’s Early Bird - Light fawn daughter. Know It All provides a particularly meaningful connection to our patterned breeding program. Her dam, Missy, is the daughter of Excelsior’s Patriotic Spirit and champion Bentwood Alpacas Peruvian Calliope. Through that pairing, Mono’s Candyman genetics meet the Spirit and Curly Calib lines behind Missy, bringing together fleece-focused breeding and several generations of patterned production. We’re excited to see this combination continue! Mono’s contribution is about more than the banner he earned. His offspring connect his own fleece and conformation strengths with the different females we selected for him, and his daughter gives us a continuing link to those breeding decisions.
