Golden Legend is: ** 3/4 Accoyo light fawn ** El Nino son ** His mom is a Classic Rose Grey, 3/4 Peruvian & 1/2 Accoyo. ** He's been Get of Sire Winner @ GWAS 2 years running for 2011 and 2012! ** A presence that must be seen to be appreciated - he loves the ladies and is a gentle efficient breeder. Golden Legend has, at best count. 120 offspring as of spring 2018. As late as 2016, his entries in Get of Sire and Breeders Best of Three Halter and Fleece shows (level 3 and 4) resulted in high placements against younger herdsires - Golden Legend proves he is still very much relevant in improving the genetics of his offspring and setting the standard for exceptional breeding programs. 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. Caligula's son PCA Accoyo El Nino, was unquestionably one of the top impact sires in North America. 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. At Prairie Moon Alpacas we keep Legend busy and have many exceptional crias to choose from if you cannot wait the long 11 month gestation period for a cria produced by one of your own dams. El Nino's Golden Legend pumps out carbon copy, cookie cutter, peas in a pod (however you describe the Xerox effect) offspring. TexOLAN 2016 Breeders Best of Three entry with 3 Golden Legend juveniles at 7-8 months old and not cria shorn, Golden Legend placed 3rd in a class of 4 where all entries were yearlings except for our juvenile entry. The judges (Arturo Pena and Wade Geese) commented that all of the animals in our entry had long dense large fleeces for small bodies on juveniles - and then they put their hands into the fleeces again and smiled. After the awards were presented, the judges commented "the sire was the same in the Get entry as the Breeders Best - RIght?". We entered different juveniles in Get of Sire and Breeders Best - and the judges recognized the sire from the fleeces in both entries.

Chantilly is a white female with fine fiber. Chantilly is a good Mom; easy to breed and birth with plenty of milk for fast cria growth. Chantilly had her first cria in 2015 by El Nino's Golden Legend, a female named PrairieMoon's Starr. We liked Starr som much that we bred MOm back to Legend for a 2016 cria - maybe another girl is in the works. Chantilly’s Dad is JFS Orion and her dam is our Lily. Jefferson Farms equals “Fineness into Maturity” and Orion is one of the few Alpaca herdsires that Jane Levene uses in the few Alpacas that she breeds now that her focus has shifted towards Paca Vicuñas. Lily is one of our older ladies that has maintained her fineness into maturity: at 9 she is still 21.9 microns.
