Confirmed pregnant to Rare Gem Divine X for a September 2026 cria
Shasta Daisy is one of those truly special females who quietly wins your heart. A gentle soul with a big, soft presence, she is adored by everyone who spends time with her.
Daisy comes from exceptional lineage on both sides. Her sire, Accoyo America Jason, is a 6X color champion co-owned by Amber Autumn Alpacas and Little Creek Farm, LLC. Jason is the result of a highly successful pairing of Camilio full siblings, and he made history by winning the AOBA Nationals brown male championship three years in a row. Known for his deep red-brown fleece, he passed along extraordinary crimp, character, and density—traits that have made him a prepotent sire producing champions across fawn, brown, and even competitive white classes.
Her dam, Accoyo America Shastina, was a lovely white female from Gregory Mecklam’s program. Although Shastina had a short show career, she earned top placements in elite white classes, including a 1st place at The Futurity, before her unexpected passing at just six years old.
Daisy came to Rare Gem Alpacas in February 2021 as a mature, 10-year-old female with three beautiful offspring already to her credit. Since joining the herd, she has continued to be an absolute delight. She gifted us one handsome cria and has cemented herself as one of the farm’s most nurturing and reliable maternal figures.
One of Daisy’s most memorable moments came two years ago when a cria on the farm wasn’t receiving enough milk from her dam. Without hesitation—and without being bred—Daisy began producing milk and stepped in to help raise the little one. This instinctive kindness is simply who she is. Even today, she gravitates to the nursery paddock, “adopting” babies, watching over them, and offering her signature calm, loving presence.
And just when we thought Daisy was ready for retirement from breeding… she surprised us! Daisy is now confirmed pregnant to Rare Gem Divine X, a pairing we are thrilled about. We look forward to welcoming her September 2026 cria—one that promises to carry forward her outstanding genetics and her incomparable heart.
Daisy is the kind of alpaca every farm longs for: dependable, affectionate, and endlessly nurturing. A true treasure of the Rare Gem herd.
