Mercurio is a multiple blue ribbon and color champion winner and is now producing champions. He has incredibly fine fleece with high frequency crimp consistently everywhere you look. His skin biopsy showed a density of 60.25/cm with S/P of 12 to 1. As a breeding male, his fiber statistics have barely changed--AFD 19.6, SD 3.9, CV 19.4 and %?30 1.3. Mercurio is a multiple Champion. His genetics speak for themself. His full sister, Miss Clarice of Alpacas of Maple Lane is now producing Champions. Mercurio's half brother, Lucky Luciano, is a multiple Color Champion. His first cria are on the ground as of Spring 2008, and they are everything we had hoped for. His upgrading of fleeces is significant, incredibly bright and with a very tight crimp. In Mercurio's first entry for Get-of-Sire at MAPACA 09, he took 3rd behind SuperNova & CCNF Arcangel--both white. Quite a feat considering Mercurio had only 10 cria on the ground at the time. His offspring are all ribbon winners, and all but two have finished in the top 2 places at Level IV & V shows. And even more exciting is his ability to throw the dam's color, including true black! Fineness, density, crimp, color, brightness and consistency. That is Mercurio. And he has the progeny to prove it.

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.

ELITE MAXIMUS IS CLOSED TO OUTSIDE BREEDINGS 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.

A deep, intense take on Merlot, she is so dark and concentrated that she dances on the edge of being true black! Even better than the highly acclaimed 2001 vintage, this Merlot from a tiny, clay soil ranch in Claysville is just about everything you’ve ever dreamed of owning. Gorgeous, generous, voluptuous, cheerful, succulent and intense: WP Merlot is all those things. The aromas, I mean fleece characteristics, are seamless and capture the essence of every alpaca breeder. Merlot is an alpaca that has already reached elite cult status and for very good reason. The opulence, richness and overall pleasure factor are unbeatable and this Merlot is sophisticated, elegant and balanced at the same time. The long fade is characterized by solid frame, great fiber characteristics, and overall appealing to the eye. This write up may be reading like a well written wine review by a leading wine connoisseur… just an alpaca breeder with an alpaca named Merlot! Merlot is all of the things mentioned above and more. Her Sire is Silvercloud Farms Mercurio, is a Multiple Champion Male producing Multiple Champions in every color and Merlot is no exception! Her Dam is Snowmass Chianti, a Snowmass Nova daughter that will never leave our breeding program, produces fine fleeced cria year after year.
Merlot sells bred to The Elite Maximus. The Elite Maximus is one of those few alpacas still alive who possess instant name recognition in the Alpaca Industry. His reputation as a Herdsire, and before that, in the show ring, is second to none. He is a staple Male in the West Penn Breeding Program! Fiber stats for The Elite Maximus at 13 YEARS OLD…AFD: 19.3, SD: 3.4, CV: 17.6, %>30: 0.8!!!!!!!!!! Amazing!
Have a drink on us!!!!!
