26x champ, incl. '16, '17, '18 AOA Nationals AOA Color Champion in 2016 fleece and in 2017 Halter and Fleece! He has more wins that can be counted, but check his show results below to see his consistency! We had been looking for quite a while for that one special black male to add to our herd in complement to our Dark Secret / Black Maestrom line. Fate smiled on us when we saw Stradivaruius as a juvenile to add to our program. Even in his tui tips, we knew he was the one and acted immediately. Even with our experience and confidence, we could not help be pleased with the confirmation of our opinion by his exceptional show results. A true black herdsire, Stradivarius is a 26x fleece and halter black champion with champion bloodlines in his pedigree which hails back to both Snowmass and Patagonia, through his sire Snowmass Andean Midnight and dam Patagonia's Simone (pivotal farms that were pioneers in the industry). His show wins include AOA National Show Halter Champion, AOA National Show Invited Champion Champion, and 3x AOA National Fleece Show Champion. We have been very selective with breedings to him, closed to outside breedings, to ensure the best case scenarios in most situations for black offspring. From this, 83% of the time he produced black (TB & BB) and 100% of the time, when bred to black dams. When bred to dams of other colors he produced black 43% of the time but darkened the cria 100% of the time. His spectacular offspring include AutumnSun's Aislyn, who won banners at the AOA National Fleece show both as a Juvenile in 2021 for us and as a 2yr old in 2023 for her new owners, Carol and Christian Howard of Cinco C Alpacas and Lynn Edens of Little Creek Alpacas. His son, AutumnSun's Peacekeeper, took a champion placing as a 3 year old breeding stud for his new owners in Austria, Oberstein Alpacas! Both Aislyn and Peacekeeper are making their own beautiful black crias for their new herds. Stradivarius is closed to outside breedings and us only available as service sire for sold ASA alpacas.

Carbonita was a girl that we liked the first time we saw her as a juvenile at The Futurity, but we 'went a different way'. When fortune brought this girl to our attention as an older yearling at an auction, we acted decisively since we knew what she looked like as juvenile. The risk paid off! After winning banners for us, we brought her home and bred her to our Stradivarius. And, again, fortune smiled on us, because their girl is special. Inky black and covered in fine, bundled fiber that is both shiny and dark as night, this girl is one we relished thinking about her future in our our breeding program. But, then fate turned our path as we sold Aislyn to Cinco C's fantastic program with her maiden breeding being to our champion black male Maelstrom. Carbonita was bred back to our champion black Stradivarius to produce beautiful black boy! Love the fiber on our Stargo! Carbonita was bred to Estates Sakima's Braxton from Cinco C's Alpacas, and produced a beautiful black boy! We have high hopes for Idris! And, yes, again Carbonita producted black (still a boy) when bred to our Axios, but wow is this boy a looker! While we hoped for a girl, we don't fault this boy.

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 many 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. An interesting fact is that of his 30 registered offpring 22 are true black and 21 are females. We're excited to see the next round of crias from Braxton. Color Genotype EEa2a2
