Since purchasing Kirwin at the 2012 Parade Of Champions auction we have grown from his offspring to extreme extents. He has been said to be one of Crescent Moon's favorite Rayo Del Sol sons. In 2004 the production class at Crescent Moon Ranch was 70% male. Little did Crescent Moon kniw that those male cria's would represent such a large part in their future. On that list are the names Shiftin Gears, Lunar Breeze, Adonnis, Copenhagen, Semper Fidelis, Prince Charming and of course Kiriwn to name a few. With just the names provided above they had amassed a total of 60 championships and reserve championships all across the country at Level 4 and Level 5 shows. Kirwin was a cornerstone in the group winning 13 of these championships/reserses on his own, the first 8 months of age and the last at almost three years of age. He is amoung the most decorated ever show and may be the most decorated brown male in the country. As a sire he has ived up to the hype. His crias have demonstrated beautiful phenotype, beautiful fleeces, an array of colors. champion and ribbion winners. Like his name sake, Kirwin has executed exellence. Jim Kiriwn was one of the greatest men that Crescent Moon had ever known and were he still with them today, their friend Jim would be proud. The same can be said for them at Crescent Moon Ranch.

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!
