"This male is something special, an honor to be judging him." - 2018 AOA National Show after winning his third Supreme Championship. 27-time Get of Sire Winner, 2X Herdsire of the Year & 4X Herdsire of the Year Dark-Colored Offspring In the thoroughbred industry, it's often said that you breed the best to the best and then hope for the best. That certainly wasn't the case when Red Granites Val D Lsere took out the Dark Male Supreme Champion award at the AOA National Show for three consecutive years in a row -- all the ingredients were there for a born champion recipe, and they were expertly combined and brilliantly presented. Red Granites Val D Lsere is ONE IN A MILLION. Our first ever alpaca to reach vicuna fine fleece at 13.9 microns with intense curvature at 64.6, making profound impressions in the huacaya breeding programs in his first breeding years, and will continue for many more years to come, he is the TRUE definition of the ideal huacaya. His fleece has been described numerous times by international judges as the most highly developed fleece they have ever seen. Val D Lsere and his successes make him one of the most successful alpacas in US history and judges have said he is the best they have seen. He has a very bright, extraordinarily dense, fine fleece with a merino-type crimp style. Val is a very compact male with a very strong heavy bone structure. All of these traits are being seen in his offspring. He rapidly rose to a legendary level and is, without a doubt, one of the most significant alpacas ever to be born at Red Granite Ranch and possibly in the US, and is one of the most highly decorated alpacas in the world. Val D Lsere is truly revolutionary for the next generation of Huacaya fleeces and genetics. He has produced colors all across the spectrum, including rose and silver-grey. He has already produced AOA National Champions & Futurity Champions. He is shown to be EXTREMELY POTENT with producing top-quality animals no matter the color of the offspring or dam. If you get your hands on his genetics do not let go of them, they are PRICELESS. Offspring have sold for auction at high prices of $40K, $41K, and even $130K!! Considering only two of his offspring lay outside of the US, his lines are extremely favorable here in the US, so if you get a hold of his genetics do not let them go! Fiber and Fleece Description EXQUISITE in all respects. Merino and Vicuna's qualities are pushed together. Red Granites Val D Lsere is the Herdsire who is dominating the New Generation. He is a restricted herdsire, no outside breedings are offered. Offspring may be offered at auction or through private sales (on very rare occasions). 2022 #1 National High Point Huacaya Male 2022 #2, #7, & #8 National High Point Huacaya Female 2023 #10 National High Point Huacaya Female, Halter 2023 #3, #4, & #10 National High Point Huacaya Male, Fleece

Red Granites Pumpkin is a stunning Rincon Cloud daughter with an exceptionally DENSE and UNIFORM rose grey fleece. She is full — even as a breeding female — has high frequency of crimps all across her body in uniform bundles.

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!
