Jacob was sired by Alexander the Great who was our full accoyo, reserve color champion. Jacob is a white and medium fawn appaloosa. Beauty's dam is black with a splash of white and her sire is white so the possibilities seemed endless in terms of what colors she could produce. Her dam has produced everything from black to maroon and silver as well as white (Beauty). We named him Jacob, after the spotted sheep spoken of in Genesis. He looks like a teddy bear at the moment with his full fleeced Accoyo head, has great brightness, he is developed very nice character.
He is looking quite nice and for someone who is breeding for the appaloosa style he may very well fit the bill. His fleece is extreemly fine in the mid teens, long staple, wonderful handle, very bright and has nice high frequency crimp.
He is nearing breeding age. If you purchase him before he settles his first female he will come with 2 breedings to any of our herdsires. This helps you while you wait for him to grow. Additional breedings can be purchased at 1/2 off while you wait for him to mature.
Jacob has been shown twice and placed 1st in both. In his first show the judge, Peter Kennedy, liked his density and his fine fleece.

AutumnSun's Jet-Black Pearl has the genetics for a good addition to a black and grey breeding program. Pearl is a well grown female, boxy with solid bones, with a well-balanced frame. She is calm and easy-going, relaxed around people and guardian dogs. Her fleece has good density in good staple, and she has excellent coverage on her head and legs. Her fiber is glossy with a consistent medium amplitude crimp. In her maturity she shows the effects of being an excellent mom as her fleece is blown out. But, as a 2-year-old she had a soft lofty fleece that handled well. She has consistent white fibers throughout her black and intensifying at her chest, neck and legs. She clearly has a grey gene and is now an expressed modern dark silver grey -- despite her name.
Her first cria was sired by multiple champion male Snowmass Matrix Belvedere (now standing stud at Crescent Moon Ranch), and she had beautifully striking looks! Puzzle started as MB, but like her mom she quickly turned a lovely MRG with white markings on her face and white fibers throughout her blanket.
Then Pearl had a lovely dark brown girl, Blissful Burgundy, by an appaloosa herdsire Jacob that developed into a modern grey. Bliss matured quickly and became an excellent production dam in her herd.
In 2016, Pearl produced a lovely LRG girl sired by MRG champion Longbow, Ellycris.
She was bred this Fall to our Multi Color Champion Grey stud Buffalo Nickel, but we believe she has slipped that pregnancy. She's on the thin side right now, so we have decided to leave her open until Fall 21, and will be rebred to Nick at that time.

Bliss has softness of hand, uniformity, well grown frame and conformation of a fantastic foundation dam as she matures. Taking after her own dam, she become a roan grey at 2 years old with consistent white fibers throughout her blanket. As a yearling, she had white fibers (before modern grey, and now roan, classes were common), and so showed as a dark indefinite in Bred & Owned, where darks, greys, and ID are grouped together. At her first show, with only 4 months of fiber growth, Bliss was described by the judge as balanced, with good uniformity in micron and expression of organization throughout the staple and across the blanket, and a lovely handle.
In production, Bliss was an excellent mom to her first cria, a dark modern rose grey (roan) male by Red Granite's Mr. Ben Franklin, named Ragnarok, who has gone to another farm. She continued to be an excellent dam to her roan grey girl, Serenity, sired by our multiple champion Smokejumper, who bore lasting fineness. Serenity joined our breeding program to carry on Jumper's fantastic fiber genetics, as he has died early from an accident, passing her fine & uniform genetics on to her two girls, Inara Serra and Perfect Harmony. We bred Serentiy to Truthsayer for a repeat of Harmony, and Harmony bred to our Major to explore her spotted/classic genetics.
Bred to our grey champion, Truthsayer, Bliss made us the lovely AutumnSun's Clairvoyance, a LF (roan really, as 'fawn grey') with wonderful fiber style. Genetic typing shows she is a dilute black, 'ee aa'. Clair is one that should be able to breed into a black or grey program, which we have exercised by breeding her to our rose grey champion stud AutumnSun's Artorius.
Bliss' next dark roan girl (see a trend in girl offspring?) was sired by our multiple champion classic grey, Dauntless, that we named Serendipity Smiles. Serendipity was bred to our well-pedigreed dark roan, Magistrate, to produce a lovely dark roan, AutumnSun's Joie de Vivre. Greys and roans abound!
Not to stop there, we have bred Bliss back to grey, this time a classic grey -- AutumnSun's Reposado, son of champion rose grey and our other matriarchal grey line via our AutumnSun's Loreleigh (which brings in great greys, Enlightenment, Avatar, and Addonis).
Bred to LRG Reposado, Bliss surprised us with a LB male -- though he could be a light modern rose grey given time to fully express his coloration.
SOLD! Congratulations to Kim and Robert Brandsma of Sugar Pike Alpacas!
