Congratulations to Bernard Family Farm on adding Capelco to their herd!! Red Granites Capelco is a stunning black male sired by Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose, who by now needs no introduction and Red Granites Miss Crystal a Gear Jammer daughter. Red Granites Capelco carries a very dense, soft, and fine fleece, with a silky soft feeling to it. But, we do have to admit, Capelco does have 3 visible gray spots, on his blanket. So far, Capelco has won several banners and has competed with Red Granites Lapu, for championship banners, and we are very pleased with him. He has a very fine fleece with extreme density. Red Granites Capelco comes from a very colorful lined pedigree with tones of high-quality alpacas. To start off, his sire, Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose comes from a very well known linage which includes, Snowmass Matrix Rose, Snowmass Matrix, Snowmass Royal Rose, and many more amazing champion Snowmass animals. Which if we add, Red Granites Capelco's sire, Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose has been known to throw black offspring when bred to black or even lighter-colored animals. On Capelcos dam, Red Granites Miss Crystal's side we have many alpacas that are very well known for producing champions. A few being Crescent Moon's Shiftin Gears, Crescent Moon's Gear Jammer, Crescent Moon's Royal De Sol, 4Peruvian Legacy 6016, and many more. Without a doubt, Red Granites Capelco carries a very Elite pedigree with many top animals and will be a great herdsire addition to any herd. With all of the colors that Capelco has throughout his pedigree, you can just imagine the possibilities! Color Genotype: Ee a1a2 (non-grey) Red Granites Capelco will can produce white to true black depending on how he is bred. In addition, he will pass down an "a" allele to all of his progeny, so they will all cover black. Savy black breeders wanting "blue black" should note his a1a2 alleles. Fleece Description Extremely dense. Soft and fine fleece.

A female who was one of our main contenders in the show ring from 2012 to 2013, winning many Color and Reserve Color championship banners, four if we are counting. Pirouette is one of our main production females, one who we count on to pull dark colors with fineness and density, which she has never failed us with that. Being that she not only passes her fleece characteristics onto her offspring but the championship banner wins as well. Her son, Red Granites Pecos Pete, a True Black male who now resides at EP Cambridge alpacas in Australia was a multi Color and reserve Champion, five altogether. Or her daughter, Red Granites Pixie a female who carries a super-dense fleece, who also now resides at EP Cambridge.

Co-Owned with Aaron and Connie Konrardy of Sugarland Alpacas in Iowa! Limited introductory breedings will be offered at each farm. At just shy of 9 months old PASCAL was labeled a “keeper” due to his extreme traits - that statement has certainly stayed true as he has matured! An upstanding Futurity & National Champion Herdsire with a lineage packed to the brim of outstanding genetics of COLOR! He is one of those males that you get excited about, and rightly so. It is with males like this that the long time of gestation for an alpaca is almost unbearable! Red Granites Pascal comes from two high-end breeding lines meshed into one pedigree. His three-time supreme champion sire, Red Granites Val D Lsere - who is arguably the best son of Snowmass Mr Sizlin Rose, the 2016 Futurity Herdsire of the Year winner in the Large Breeder Division. His dam, Mountain Sky’s Secret Passion a direct daughter of Wolf Den’s Dark Secret. Daughters of Dark Secret are rare to acquire due to the high interest in them and the keeping of genetic lines by their owners, we were lucky when Secret Passion was offered for sale at auction. Secret Passion has given us beautiful progeny each season, all of which have won at least one championship, two of which have won Judges' Choice awards, a true testament to her quality! For those who do not know, Dark Secret is the sire of AutumnSun’s Black Maelstrom, a 13-time Black Champion sire who is highly sought after. Pascal is the first cross of these genetics and he is everything one would hope for! The fleece characteristics are all that one could hope for from his famous ancestors. It displays his sire’s legendary brightness, is fine, has incredible density, is uniform in color and micron, and exhibits an exceptional length of staple. He has a well-defined high-frequency crimp style, which is carried down the length of his staples and is consistent throughout his blanket, extending right into the extremities. These amazing fleece qualities have stayed with him as he has aged. To add, he stands on extremely strong bones with great front and rear capacity. He has the ideal huacaya head all breeders strive for with full coverage and a short & wide muzzle. Red Granites Pascal has won a multitude of championships (21 in total), which he won in halter, fleece, and walking fleece shows! He has won championships at two of the most prestigious shows in the country: The Futurity & National Show. At the 2024 RailSplitter Alpaca Show, he was awarded the Judges' Choice Male award under Wade Gease, extremely impressive for a black male as very few black males hold this honor! Judges commend him on his uniformity of micron & fineness that is carried into his extremities and extremely macho look and attitude! We are so blessed to have this male in our program and cannot wait to get him working! Hi first cria are due in late summer/early Fall of 2025, confirmed via ultrasound!! Limited outside breedings are offered!
