CCNF Elixer is simply amazing. He started his show career at the 2012 North American, winning both Color Champion and Judges Choice at 7 months of age. He repeated that performance at the 2012 Futurity at the ripe "old" age of 8 months. Shorn and growing a new fleece he was halter Color Champion at Both Empire and Green Mountain (no JC awarded at either show). His fleece was entered Green Mountain, also garnering a Color Champion banner. VAOBA was his first appearance in a Judges Choice line-up as a yearling, and he did not disappoint. The level of competition was high at VAOBA, with multiple CC and JC winners in the field. His fleece is fine and uniform in the extreme. Add to this density, brightness, and solid conformation, and you have the perfect package! Given his fading beige pattern we expect him to let dark color pass. We are very excited to see what this boy can do! First crias are here and look amazing! Proudly co-owned with Cas Cad Nac Farm.

A rare female offering from the famous Pachelbel line, Bellona’s mother, Bellarina, was a AOBA National halter champion and also carries in her not just the genetics of the famous granddam (she and her sister, Bellafina, are the two Pachelbel daughters we still have working here) but also just as importantly those of her sire, SuperNova. Bellona’s sire, MFI Peruvian Precocious, likewise should need little introduction. Precocious has won numerous accolades over the years but perhaps of greatest note was that a small band of his kids managed to secure the 2012 Futurity Reserve Herdsire of the Year in Nebraska earlier this year. As to the specimen in question: Bellona possesses gobs of fine fleece as one might expect of an animal of her pedigree. Bellona is now confirmed pregnant via ultrasound and due with a CCNF Elixir cria in early July of next year! Elixir is quite simply world class. The possibility of what Bellona combined with the density, fineness and uniformity of Elixir (16 AFD, 2.9 SD 18.3 CoV in 2013 just shy of the age of 2) could make is rather mouth-watering. We value Bellona's maternal line like few others. Though we have also listed Bellona's AOBA Champion dam, Bellarina (not coincidentally also bred to Elixir for her own 2014 cria), for sale, we will only part with one or the other, not both.

Congratulations to Fleecy Friends Alpacas OK, Derek Smith and Julie Knox on their purchase of Aces Loaded! While we are celebrating our 15th year breeding alpacas in 2024, we think it's only fitting to offer a male, of extreme caliber, from two of our finest and reserved colored lines. Starting with Anna Lucia, one of our most highly held females in our breeding program. She is a direct daughter of Aussie .38 Special and maternal granddaughter of 4Peruvian Legacy and maternal great-granddaughter of 5Peruvian Black Ice. Anna Lucia was the 2020 AOA National Produce of Dam winner in both fleece & halter. She has produced Futurity & National Champions in Black, Fawn & Brown, and each of her progeny have gone on to become Herdsires or foundation female in our program and others as well. Namely, her offspring are: Red Granites Aragon (Lead Fawn Herdsire at RGR, 2-time National Champion), Red Granites Sizlin Ava (owned by Crescent Moon Ranch), Red Granites Agnes Lorraine (National Champion owned by Odin Falls Alpacas), Red Granites Azeri (Champion owned by Foster Trails Alpaca Farm) and Red Granites Abeba (full-sister, Multi-champion). Another thing to note is Anna Lucia held a 23.3 micron fleece while shearing 6+ pounds of fleece at 12-years of age!! Anna Lucia is the definition of a "Stud Female" and we are glad to offer her best son yet! Red Granites Val D Lsere is indeed the sire of this exquisite male. His density and advanced fleece frequency can be seen within Aces Loaded. Red Granites Val D Lsere descends from the best colored genetics available in North America. Combining the finest Snowmass & Magical Farms lines with the finest Peruvian imported lines. He is a multiple Herdsire of the Year winner (in Dark, Light, and Large Breeder Division), and his offspring have won 19 "Get of Sire" first place ribbons! No outside breedings are offered, and very few sons are offered for sale.... But, what makes this male so special and different compared to other Val D Lsere sons? His staple length matched with an elite high-frequency fleece that carries through with all the elite fiber characteristics we all love. With a 2023 total fleece weight of 6.9 pounds, his blanket weighed in at 4.5 pounds with a staple of 4.4 inches, his 2022 total fleece weight was 10.6 pounds with a blanket weight of 4+ pounds and 4+ inches! DENSITY & STAPLE LENGTH! He is the longest stapled son of Val D Lsere we have bred at Red Granite Ranch, and is one of the highest ranking males on the ranch. In total, he has 17 Championships, a Judges’ Choice in fleece & a Grand Champion award. Add in his EeAa1 genotype and you have an IMPACT Herdsire in the making that can cover ALL COLORS. He has 6 confirmed pregnancies for 2024.
