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.

Lily is a white female with a fine fleece even at 9 years old. The handle of her fleece is soft. Lily is a pretty girl with fuzzy ears and a nice head and is conformationally correct. She is easy to manage even though she has as a strong personality and is one of the leaders of our herd. Lily always comes to say hi and ask for a hug. Lily is an exceptional Mother, easy to breed and birth with a generous milk supply that promotes fast cria growth. Lily’s sire is Snowmass Conchoro and we know that breeding program means exceptional fiber. Lily is pregnant by El Nino’s Golden Legend for a summer 2018 cria. We consider Lily a foundation female for our herd (meaning she consistently produces very good babies and is not just an old lady that should not be bred). Lily's 2015 El Nino's Golden Legend cria ia a medium fawn male named PrairieMoon's Put Me In Coach. Coach is a knockout, please click on his icon below for more information. Lily's 2016 cria is an El Nino's Golden Legend female named PrairieMoon's Tiger Lily Legend. She is gorgeous. What we would expect from Lily and legend. Lily is strong, healthy and conformationally correct at 13 and her weight is good at this stage in her pregnancy. We did not breed Lily for a 2017 cria so she could rest for a 2018 cria. Based on her current health and weight, we expect Lily to birth and care for her 2018 Legend cria.
