God Bless Don Julio

Editor Alpaca Journal
The April 2006 issue of the Alpaca Journal is on the website. It is with a heavy heart that I publish this issue of the Alpaca Journal. Don Julio Barreda passed on to heaven on March 28, 2006. I have penned a tribute to his life and narrated a slide show which you can view by clicking here “A Tribute to Don Julio Barreda, 1919 to 2006”.
This entire issue of the Alpaca journal is devoted to Don Julio. You will find a number of articles about Accoyo and Don Julio’s life with alpacas. They are listed below. I have a few copies of Alpacas: Synthesis of a Miracle left which recount the history of Accoyo which can be reviewed by clicking here: Alpacas: Synthesis of a Miracle
This month’s articles are:
In Search of the World’s Finest Alpacas
Macho’s: The Father’s Lineage – Accoyo’s Caligula and Cconchatanca’s Hemingway?

We have also added several images to our photo gallery Estancia Accoyo and Quechua Benefit that you might find enjoyable.
