Co-Owned with Kern and Rhonda Deschner of Tierra Prometida Alpaca Ranch When is comes to this male right here, he is simply one of a kind. You could not ask for more, the epitome of excellence: Red Granites Alydar By Val D Lsere. There has never been a Grey Alpaca to stir up as much commotion as this one, and probably never will be. For all that have seen and judged this male, he has been represented as the IDEAL standard for grey fleece. The evenness of his fineness and the astounding density and uniformity that is found within his blanket is simply incomparable. It is a very advanced, high-frequency crimp style from skin to tip, rarely seen in his color group. This crimp style continues right down the leg and into his belly area, also running up through the neck all in a very uniform manner. Judges’ have described his fleece as “angel-like and delicate” with “superior uniformity of micron” and carrying the “dangerous combination of fineness and density”. Alydar was shown at one of the highest level shows, Nationals, and took first place as a juvenile, yearling, 2-year-old, and mature male, he also did so at The Futurity, taking a first place as both a yearling and 2-year-old and then moved into the champion circle. He also won the 2021 Futurity Judges' Choice Male & 2023 AOA National Dark Male Supreme Champion trophy. Many juveniles place well the first year but the real test is if they can stand the same position or even better position the following years, and hold onto their exceptional traits. He has a total of 41 Championship banners, 10 Judges' Choice awards, a Supreme Championship, a Grand Champion, and Spirit of the Industry win to his name, not to mention he was named the #1 National High Point Huacaya Male in 2022 & #3 National High Point Huacaya Male in Fleece for 2023. He became the first gray to win the prestigious Futurity Judges’ Choice award & to win a National Supreme Championship trophy, and also became the second gray alpaca to have won over 30 Championship banners. Nothing about him has wavered in his fleece or body in his maturity over the years. Alydar comes from a generation after generation of champion alpacas. His lineage includes Herdsire of the Year winners: VAL D LSERE, MR SIZLIN ROSE, and MATRIX while also including top color producing sires: MATRIX ROSE, CONOPA, VALENTINO, THELONIUS, KIRWIN, CASANOVA, and SIZLIN HOT. Excellence in COLOR in in this males blood!! Alydar's production has been everything we hoped for and more. He has produced every color. His progeny have also won 40+ Championship banners and his tuxedo gray son won the 2025 AOA National Dark Male Supreme Champion trophy...don't wait on a breeding, he might be closed next time you look!

A former BLACK show girl for us — Sizlin Taboo is ready to get to work for any dark/black-grey breeding program looking to further enhance fineness and density! Red Granites Sizlin Taboo is a maternal granddaughter of our Crescent Moon’s Tennyson a multi-champion dark brown/bay black male sired by Aussie .38 Special. Taboo’s maternal side also has Crescent Moon’s Shiftin Gears, our super-elite white stud male who sadly passed away last year. To find a black ancestor of him, especially a great-granddaughter is currently rare in many cases. Cross in the fact she has Mr Sizlin Rose and .38 Special in her pedigree….she is a rare gem indeed. We sadly did not breed her for a 2022 cria last year so therefore she will be bred this spring. When breeding our blacks, specifically talking about Taboo in this case, we are looking to further enhance her uniformity and fineness while also keeping the density from her sire. We chose Pistol.
