Golden Legend is an exceptional male that stands for quality in both phenotype and genetics. His sire, PCA Accoyo El Nino is the 2004 AOBA National Get of Sire and Senior Champion of the 2001 International Alpaca Odyssey show. El Nino is in high demand, so much so that Pacific Crest Alpacas raised El Nino's breeding fee to $10,000, and shortly thereafter eliminated outside breedings entirely. Legend's dam is Sophia del Sol, a light grey, 3/4 Peruvian sired by Peruvian Camilio. At her first show the AOBA Senior Judge commented on the micro bundling in Sophia's fleece and said, "The only thing wrong with this alpaca is it's not a male!" If your goal is to introduce superior genetics that includes bloodlines such as Peruvian Caligula, Peruvian Camilio, and Peruvian Guellermo into your herd then you will be making a sound investment in breeding to El Nino’s Golden Legend. Many of El Nino's Golden Legend's offspring are on the ground and pulling in Championship after Championship in the show ring.

Update: Hannah Bay delivered a beautiful black male on 4-12-13. He's a keeper! Pics to the right When we bred Genesee, one of our most beloved females, to Castano Bay we knew that the offspring would be a knockout. Being that Genesee is beige, we crossed our fingers hoping for a dark fawn or a brown. Instead we were gifted with this bay black daughter, Hannah Bay. She was everything we had hoped for and more. She has that beautiful ebony color and a histogram that we wish we could give to some or our whites. She has one of the finest fleeces on our ranch. Not just among the darks but among the entire herd. As she matured she developed the characteristic tight crimp and density that has made her sire LB Castano Bay the driving force in our color program. As for her ability as a damn, Mile High Hannah Bay has been the “dark horse” among our females. We felt this girl was the total package and so bred her to our best males, knowing that we would be happy with the cria regardless of its color. We began with our premiere sire El Nino’s Golden Legend and received a gorgeous medium brown, Mile High Victoria’s Secret. This brunette bombshell has won 6 color championships and blue ribbons at Futurity and GWAS. Next we decided to shake things up and bred her to one of our white herdsires, the My Peruvian Rolex son Majestic Peruvian Daredevil. Our mouths dropped when we saw what we got. It was a white as we partly expected, but this male was a white unlike any we’ve had before. This male became Mile High Peruvian Toulouse-Lautrec is a 7X Champion and Judge’s Choice at GWAS 2012 a level 5 show. He also won the Bred and Owned at GWAS and AOBA Nationals in 2011. For her third cria, we bred her to Crescent Moon’s Shiftin Gears (co-owned with Red Granite Ranch) and were blessed with a white female named Mile High Diamond Girl, who along with her brother make for a brother-sister duo that surpass our other whites and earned Hannah Bay First Place Produce of Dam, GWAS 2012 (17 entries in that class!). And whenever we point Hannah Bay out as the mother of these white superstars the constant reaction is “no way!” Hannah Bay is now bred to Patagonia’s Vincent Massif of Patagonia Alpacas and Darkest Peru Alpacas. This beautiful dark brown male combined with Hannah Bay’s jack of all trades ability as a dam should make for a wonderful cria. In short, Hannah Bay’s crias have been the show winners that we use to build the reputations of our herdsires. As most females do, she stays just out of the spotlight despite the wonderful characteristics she makes possible when bred to these males. But truth is she has added as much to our farm name as our males. It’s not often that your farm’s next up and coming herdsire comes from your own stock. Yet, when it does happen that female is something special. Especially when it’s a bay black that can make excellence from any color of the spectrum. 2012: PRODUCE OF DAM WINNER Winner
