We are now closing Legionnaire to outside breedings. With hi weight fluctuation and age we think it best to keep him in house. He has many sons working for us! To say we were excited to partner with Amber Autumn Alpacas with CCNF Legionnaire at the 2014 Breeders Edge Auction would be an understatement, a huge one. In a long run, Legionnaire went on to be the highest selling alpaca at the auction (we bought him for $57,500), figures considering this guys genetics. This spectacular young male was the 2015 Futurity Fawn Male Color Champion & 2015 AOA National Fawn Male Reserve Champion!! Two of the most prestigious shows in the alpaca industry and he took home purple. Ending his show career with four Judges' Choice awards and nine Championship awards. By one of the world’s great sires, out of a female from a sensational family line who has made a huge impact on the United States industry, here we have a male bred on a cross that has been proven to produce champions. CCNF Legionnaire, a son of Snowmass Matirx Majesty, has enjoyed extraordinary success as a sire with championship winners in both the United States and Canada and his offspring being found in Poland, United States, Canada, and Australia. Overall, his offspring have won many championships and even Judges’ Choice and National Championship titles. Even more impressive, his son Red Granites Pallaton (Now resides in Poland) won the 2018 Canadian Supreme Champion Male award, Palltons offspring have had much success in the Canadian show rings themselves. Another son by Legionnaire, Red Granites Man of Mystery (Owned by Willow Wind Farm Alpacas) is the densest alpaca yet biopsied by Ian Watt in the USA, and we have not yet heard of a denser alpaca out there a at a whopping 127.2 follicles/square mm density. His daughter, Red Granites Pixie was sold at the 2018 Amber Autumn Auction for a pretty penny, where she was purchased by EP Cambridge Alpaca Stud in Australia. Combining Cas-Cad-Nac's powerhouse production female; CCNF Magdalena and Snowmass Matrix Majesty you would only hope for an advanced fleece, Legionnaire carries a extremely advanced fleece. He carried a six year old fleece with a AFD of 17.3 and SD of 2.5, SIMPLY UNREAL numbers for a six year old BREEDING male. Legionnaire's breedings are limited, please contact us for more information.

Red Granites Sizlin Cherub is a stunning medium brown female sired by our very own, Snowmass Mr Sizlin Rose and by LMFI Peruvian Cherish, a direct daughter of Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah. Cherubs genetics are rather unique with Jeremiah, Black Magic and Mr Sizlin Rose all being in one pedigree....

Description

Where do we start with this male? Red Granites Prince Caspian is the darkest son of CCNF Legionnaire to date and has become one of our favorite sons and a habitable banner winner. CCNF Legionnaire’s genotype is Ee AA meaning the darkest he can produce is dark brown, so we know Prince Caspian has an “A” from his sire and with the black spot on his butt we know he has an “a”. Our best guess is his genotype is Ee Aa - he will be tested to confirm this soon. Born as a bay black coloration, he was sheared and then showed his true color as a dark brown with black points on his ears, around his eyes, on his feet, and muzzle. We are extremely pleased with how he is developing and are expecting his crias in 2025. Phenotypically, Prince Caspian is correct with excellent circumference of bone with excellent coverage - adding onto the fact that he has the picture-perfect head that we want on all of our animals. His fleece shows a great degree of brightness, extreme fineness and uniformity, and density, density, density with an abundance of fleece being produced!!! This has been the exact thing we get when crossing CCNF Legionnaire with Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose, both monumental sires of the Red Granite Ranch breeding program with internationally recognized offspring… CCNF Legionnaire has crias winning huge across the entirety of North America, including Canada! Two of his sons have won Canadian Supreme Championship trophies, and one even won Mature Huacaya of the Year. Legionnaire also sired the densest alpaca biopsied by Ian Watt in the world. Legionnaire is aging and has lost his molars so his sons and daughters are becoming even more close to us as we know time is closing. The dam of Prince Caspian is Red Granites Sizlin Cherub, a Medium-Dark Brown, black-pointed foundation female sired by Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose and out of LMFI Peruvian cherish, a direct daughter of Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah. Sizlin Cherub has an extremely fine fleece with an incredibly soft handle. She ranks in the Top 1% for %M and in the Top 5% for SDAFD. In 2023, at 6 years old she has a 23-micron fleece with a 4.1 SD, just as impressive as ever in our eyes. Prince Caspian won his first Color Championship in the Fall of 2023 at A-OK Rose Rock under Jacob Hart, comments included: “Clear winner”. His first Reserve Championship was won at the 2024 TXOLAN Sweetheart Spectacular under Amanda VandenBosch, comments included: “Compact in frame..great consistency from front to back…great combination of fineness and density…super soft handle…handle is exquisite.” A top show winner that judges love!! With his sire aging and his unique pedigree, Prince Caspian is only available for half-interest. This male is incredible and has a lineage known for lingering fineness, long-stapled fleeces with incredible density, and soft handles!
