This cute little guy is the newest cria out of our stellar 1/4 Accoyo herdsire, Equinox Eternix, a multi-champion light rose grey out of Pperuvian Camillio.

La Buena Vida's Monolith was born on March 10, ARI number 30678828. Congratulations to Bruce and Jeri Beatty on this excellent breeding!

This photo was taken of Eternix a couple of summers ago. His gorgeous rose grey color is very even with just a few dark spots. Look at that fiber coverage on his legs! He is an impressive herdsire with perfect conformation, wonderful crimp and show winners of his own on the ground, including:

• Cloud Dancer's All That Jazz (1st place Light Juvenile Male and Light Male Reserve Color Champ at the 2004 Southwest Regional Show; 1st place Juvenile Beige Male at the Great Western Alpaca Show in Denver, May 2004; 3rd place Yearling Beige Male at the 2004 AOBA National Show). He was recently sold by Cloud Dancer Alpacas in Flagstaff, AZ.

• Diamond Spectrum (1st place and Color Champion at the 2005 Houston Livestock Show) was purchased by Fuzzy Acres Alpaca Ranch and has continued to win ribbons.

• Ekaterina de LaCroix is another very dark beautiful girl out of Eternix, who resides at LaCroix Alpacas and Llamas in western Pennsylvania.
