Previously Co-Owned with Crescent Moon Ranch. Crescent Moon's Shiftin Gears; like his name, this Stud was an ELITE male who shifted things into gears, with PERUVIAN & ACCOYO genetics to produce fine superior heavy-fleeced alpacas. He was a direct son of 6Peruvian Accoyo Elite 5057 crossed with a Full Peruvian, Peruvian Geronimo G187 daughter to give him the consistency in his fineness over a touch of a heavy fleece weight that has weighted 14 pounds in 2010. He is one of great looks on top of his beautiful fleece. He was judges twice under the amazing Julio Sumar and placed very well. When having the chance to partner with Crescent Moon Ranch (Debbie & Scott Miller) to co-own this multi-champion superstar back in 2010 we could not turn the opportunity down. Its was not everyday you got your hands on a Peruvian/Accoyo male who is a direct son of 6Peruvian Accoyo Elite. His stud fee's were offered for $7,500..... Crescent Moon's Shiftin Gears was the epitome of genetic excellence, whose legacy has sadly ended on February 15, 2021. Crescent Moon & Red Granite Ranch made an incredibly tuff decision to put Shiftin down after we found his femur had shattered and was not fixable. Shiftin's progeny excelled in the show ring, earning championship banners across the U.S., including AOBA Nationals and the Futurity. His offspring proved to be the best in fleece weight, brightness, fineness, density, and consistency. We are very glad to have a few of his lead female and male offspring locked into our herd. Shiftin made a HUGE impact in the industry and we are very proud to be a part of this males legacy. Rest easy Shifty.

Description

Red Granites Piston is sired by the one and only Crescent Moon’s Shiftin Gears. Shiftin, who we co-owned with Crescent Moon, was known for the massive amount of fine white fleece he produced. Unfortunately, Shiftin passed away early last year. Piston has a very fine uniform fleece and just like his Dad, a lot of it, and he is our only working son of Shiftin Gears we currently have at Red Granite Ranch. Red Granites Piston will be exclusively bred to our Pearl Jam, Val D Lsere, Warrior, and Creed offspring to help enhance further fineness and STAPLE LENGTH. We think that Piston will be our next big thing and he will help the Red Granite Ranch herd grow with density and fiber growth when we cross him correctly. Piston had his first cria in 2022, named Goshen Meadows Moses. He has 3 traits in the Tp 5% in 2023 and has routinely placed at shows!
