Red Granites Cricket is a stunning young herdsire prospect. He is exhibiting an outstanding level of fineness, coupled with excellent density as well as uniformity across his frame and well into his extremitites. He is showing a advanced fleece with a high frequency crimp style with soft handle and superb brightness. These fantastic traits all stand on a large, correct and true to type frame. Cricket did not come about by pure chance or luck. His sire, Accoyo America Kashmir, is a five-time champion, and multiple judges' choice winner and a PCA Hemingway-Accoyo Nautilus son. He is a leading stud at Little Creek Farm/Snowmass Alpacas and is consistent in producing top quality seed stock animals. His average micron number within his 2012 cria crop was 14.4 with an average SD of 3.1, THATS AMAZING! When pairing Kashmir with Little Carmela a Lancaster's Highland Chieftain daughter, we only expected the best. Little Carmela is a female that we consider to be one of the best producing females around. She exhibits a incredible fineness, and definitely has the ability to pass this trait on to her crias, along with an advanced fleece style, density, trueness to type, brightness and a great ability to produce color. Her medium fawn daughter; Red Granites Cinnamon by Val D Lsere (twelve-time champion, four-time judges' choice winner) sold for an incredible $40,000 to a Belgium breeder back in 2020 at the Amber Autumn Auction, she was the second highest seller overall and was the highest selling female of the auction. From this we can see that Cricket always had the potential to be an elite animal, but he has far exceeded the expectations. His first cria are nothing short but fantastic! He has many more breedings for next year as we have now fully seen his potential as a herdsire. He is completely unrelated to any of our animals - therefor we will be covering him on our Sizzy, Val D Lsere, Creed, and Bad Boy lines. Contact us to sceduale a breeding!

Red Granites Snowfire is an exquisite daughter by Lionheart’s Connagher, who despite passing away a few years ago, has continued to play a vital role in our finest white lines here at Red Granite Ranch. Her dam, SpringToo Shantay of Red Granite is one of our best Snowmass Premoniton daughters. So when the stars align and two pre-potent animals are put together, the outcome has to be amazing — and it most certainly was. Red Granites Snowfire had an elite fiber test as a 2-year-old come back at 17.3 microns with a SD of 3.3, and then at 4-years-old she tested at 19.7 microns and a 3.2 SD even after giving birth the year prior. This female is set up to produce the finest most luxurious white fiber with sacrificing fineness, uniformity and brightness. The judges even agreed with these fleece traits in the ring as they awarded her the MOPACA Invitational Alpaca Show Best Bred & Owned Female banner in 2019 as a 2-Year-Old. They judge explained how she was the finest by far, and easily competed with juveniles fleeces.
