We've been searching for a black herdsire to cover our Captain Midnight, Contender and Chicago offspring. We think Braxton is our guy. We are so excited to announce that Braxton has been awarded the Color Championship in the Black Male Invited Champions at the 2021 National Alpaca Show in Grand Island Nebraska. Thank you to our partner Lynn Edens for showing Estates Sakima's Braxton. It is interesting to note that Braxton's sire, Patagonia Estates Sakima won Reserve Champion Black Male at the age of 69 months at this same show. That says a lot about the future. Braxton and his wonderful combination of genetics are exciting for the future of black (and grey) alpacas here at Cinco C's Alpacas and Little Creek Farm Alpacas. Braxton won again at the 2022 AOA National Alpaca Show in Ft Wayne, IN. He was awarded 1st and Champion Black Male in the Invited Champions Class for 2022. He's now back to work and we anxiously await his first group of crias. Thank you to all you folks who have inquired about breedings to Braxton. Braxton's breedings are closed to outside breedings. Both farms have females bred to him for sale. His first crias have arrived and they stunning! Of his 29 crias 22 are black and our latest is a DSG female. He has 2 DF crias both from white dams. There are two champions so far and I'm betting on at lot more to come. The crias I have had my hands on are all very uniform with very bright, dense fleeces. We're excited to see the next round of crias from Braxton. Color Genotype EEa2a2

I thank my "lucky stars" everyday when I look at Jazz. She is truly everything we are looking for in our breeding program. We are excited to add DG Peruvian Midnight Jazz to our breeding program. While searching for black females to use with our line-up of Champion black males, I spotted this beauty at a show last fall. Not only is she eye-catching, she was 2nd in a very competitive class of black females. After getting my hands on Jazz I was pretty sure she was what I was looking for. After looking at her ARI I knew she was perfect because she is not related to any of our males. Jazz is from the bloodlines of the likes of Legacy, Titan, Victor and Jaxon. Then came the hard part......convincing her owner to sell Jazz. Midnight Jazz is a well-grown female with great bone structure. Her fleece is fine and consistent and has great staple length and density. We think her crimp style will be a great combination with several of our males. Thanks to Kate Giorgi for allowing us to add this beauty to our program. Jazz first cria is an outstanding black female. The density and staple length on this cria are just what we hoped for. . For her second cria we chose Captain Midnight as the sire again. This time they produced a light fawn male. He's very fine and keeps improving as we watch. Since Captain was at our partner farm when Jazz was ready to be rebred, we decided on Chicago to sire her 2020 cria. This is an exciting combination for sure.*********And on 10/24 Jazz delivered a stunning female who looks like she will be DRG. This little cria is totally adorable and she and Jazz are a sight to see. We named her Crickit and she is stunning. We will retain her as a foundation female. Jazz's first two crias have been sold and we have serious interest in the latest one at 2 weeks of age. Now for the difficult decision........who do we breed Jazz to next? Jazz's color genotype is Ee a2a1 Let's keep our fingers crossed for a black cria. .
