At Autumn Sun Alpacas, we know that is no secret that this true black herdsire is an all-around package that you will want to cover any dam, light or dark colored! Secret is a black that had no fading at his tips or interspersed white fibers when he was showing (he's getting a few 'old man' white hairs now). This isn't surprising with a lineage that includes notable black sires like Othello, recently deceased, and Snowmass Nova's Dark Quest. With his distinctive head and leg coverage, along with his inky black fiber, many stopped and stared at Secret the ring. And worthy of that attention, his fiber has extreme density, bright shine, bundled crimp, and soft handle. These are traits that you want to add or amplify in your breeding program! This is obvious in the 10x champion true black son, AutumnSun's Black Maelstrom. We were fortunate to have had our program benefit from such an exceptional offspring, especially as he was just one of only a few we have performed to Secret! We have the fortune of several excellent herdsires, including grey and black, so Secret has had to be patient. And, Maelstrom is just as a precocious stud just as his sire, as both started breeding under 2 years old. Father and son both breed black well into our program. As our Secret is getting up there in years and we we don't want to overtax him (he is still breeding for us), we are closing him to outside breedings. We are sad to say that Secret passed in September 2025.

AutumnSun's Lucky Seven has amazing fleece, as demostrated by her two champion wins at the AOA National Fleece Show. Her sire is our multiple champion grey male, AutumnSun's Truthsayer. She is maternal half sister to our champion grey herdsire, AutumnSun's Artourius. From their dam, both have a calm sweet personality. nice size, good confirmation and staple. Seven's fleece mirrors her sire's fine, uniform and consistently crimpy fiber. It is really hard to sell this girl. Not only does she have killer fiber, been a fantastic mom and easy breeder, but we bred her to our black herdsire Guinness who has produced his own champion black offspring. So, do we keep her for her likely fantastic offspring, whether black or grey, or sweeten the package with her and her 2025 en utero cria? For now, we are deciding to include her in the sale... but that could very well change! Hurry if you are interested in purchasing our grey herd before she is pulled from the sale. **Available for sale with the sale of the entire grey and 'fancy' (anything with a white spot gene on our farm) program. **
