Huacaya Alpacas for Sale

Elderwood’s Peak Performance brings together our 33-banner-winning herdsire, Irish Meadows’ Crescendo, and champion-producing foundation female Elderwood’s Virginia Lee. Bred here at Elderwood Farms in Millington, Tennessee, this white Huacaya male has shown encouraging conformation and fleece traits from an early age. Peak offers an opportunity to bring together Crescendo’s genetics and a maternal line whose results we have followed across multiple generations. His sire, Crescendo, is a Snowmass Matrix son with seven Judge’s Choice awards and a record of producing champions. Crescendo’s dam, Crescent Moon’s Elizario’s Princess, earned Judge’s Choice, a 2017 National Championship, and the 2021 National Produce of Dam award, adding another accomplished producer to Peak’s paternal line. Peak’s dam, known here as Ginny, earned Elderwood’s first championship banner and has since won Produce of Dam twice. Peak is a maternal half brother to ELWD’s Wynter Is Coming, a Judge’s Choice winner with six championship banners, and Elderwood’s Rumor Has It, an eight-banner winner with Best Bred & Owned and Most Uniform Grade 1 recognition. Their maternal granddam, MFI & TNT Peruvian Festa, earned six banners herself. Festa, Ginny, and Ginny’s champion daughters represent three generations of success in this maternal line. Notable Ancestors: • Irish Meadows’ Crescendo - 7x JC, 19x CC, 5x RC, 2x Best Bred & Owned; champion producer. • Snowmass Matrix - 2006 and 2008 National Light Male Champion; multiple Get of Sire wins. • Crescent Moon’s Elizario’s Princess - Judge’s Choice, 2017 National Champion, and 2021 National Produce of Dam winner. • Elderwood’s Virginia Lee - Color Champion, two-time Produce of Dam winner, and champion producer. • Snowmass Best in Velvet - 2x JC, 2x CC, 3x RC including Nationals and Futurity, 5x Blue, 1x Get of Sire. • MFI & TNT Peruvian Festa - 1x CC, 5x RC, 7x Blue; champion producer. • LMFI Peruvian Playboy - 15 championships, including National and Futurity wins. • Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah - 2x JC, 9x CC including Nationals and Futurity, 2x RC; champion producer. For breeders interested in Crescendo genetics backed by a maternal line that has produced champions through different pairings, Peak is a young male worth considering. He is offered as an unproven prospect, with his own production potential still to be evaluated as he matures. Contact us to discuss Peak’s development and how he could fit your breeding goals.

AT THIS TIME At 12 yrs old his 2013 histogram is STILL 19 micron! The Elite Maximus is one of those few animals who possess instant name recognition in the alpaca world. His reputation as a herdsire, and before that, in the show ring, is second to none. For many years he was the linchpin of Park View Alpacas' huacaya breeding program, and his many offspring have carried his low micron count and incredibly dense buttery fleece to victory in the showring. In 2011 Park View Alpacas went to the AOBA National Show with four huacayas that had been sired by The Elite Maximus – they we MAXED out! 1st Place Get of Sire! 1st Place Produce of Dam! Judges’ Choice Female Huacaya! We don’t believe any other Huacaya breeder has ever matched these results. Two of his offspring were available at the 2011 Prestige Alpaca Auction, including 1 of his Judge’s Choice daughters – Camilina. This was a unique opportunity to add this particular combination of genetics to your herd! All told, offspring of The Elite Maximus have earned 25 Color Champion and Reserve Color Champion banners, 4 Judges’ Choice Awards, and 2 IAO Best Head awards. That’s just for halter classes. In fleece classes you’ll find a Supreme Champion, 6 Color and Reserve Champion banners, Best Crimp awards and Most Uniform Breeding Program awards. And of course, that’s just to date. Next year is coming! The list of The Elite Maximus’ offspring and their accomplishments is considerable. Of most immediate recognitions were the Prestige Auction headliners, Camilina, who sold for $55,000 as a 2nd Generation Color Champion and Judges’ Choice female huacaya. Don’t forget Cambria, who sold for $20,000 and 2011 International Alpaca Odyssey Best Head and highest score Walking Fleece winner. The Elite Maximus started his illustrious show career when he was only 8 months old, winning Res. COLOR CHAMPION at the 2002 Columbia Alpaca Breeders Association show. He then went on to win the JUDGE’S CHOICE Award at the Canadian International Fleece Show and the 2006 AWE fleece show. The Local, Regional, National and International awards and ribbons started stacking up from there! The Elite Maximus transitioned from the show ring to herdsire, that those awards were just the beginning of an amazing, award-winning dynasty? With the 1/2 interest sale of The Elite Maximus with our new partners, Irish Meadows Alpacas, we have decided to close The Elite Maximus to outside breeding. We do and will have many females now bred to him and offspring on the farm for sale. Stop by and take a look! You won't be disappointed.
