Color Genetic testing: Eea1a2 Red Granites Alydar will produce all colors; white to black! All offspring will have an "a" allele. We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Red Granite Ranch in the ownership of this spectacular male. (I know....we haven't done gray in years.) When it comes to this male right here though, he is simply one of a kind. You could not ask for more, the epitome of excellence and frankly, it doesn't matter what color he is: 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 40 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 and #3 National High Point Huacaya Male in Fleece for 2023. He became the first gray to win the prestigious Futurity Judges’ Choice award and first grey to win a National Supreme Championship trophy, and also became the second gray alpaca to have won over 30 Championship banners. That is impressive. Nothing about him has wavered 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 is in this males blood! Alydar's production has been everything we hoped for and more. He has produced every color inducing Silver Greys, Rose Greys, True & Bay Blacks, Fawns, Browns, and Whites of all shades. And he is stamping CHAMPIONS!
