Sire: El Nino's Golden Legend ARI#
1422443 Light Fawn Golden Legend is an exceptional male that stands for quality in both phenotype and genetics. His sire, PCA Accoyo El Nino is the 2004 AOBA National Get of Sire and Senior Champion of the 2001 International Alpaca Odyssey show. El Nino is in high demand, so much so that Pacific Crest Alpacas raised El Nino's breeding fee to $10,000, and shortly thereafter eliminated outside breedings entirely.
Legend's dam is Sophia del Sol, a light grey, 3/4 Peruvian sired by Peruvian Camilio. At her first show the AOBA Senior Judge commented on the micro bundling in Sophia's fleece and said, "The only thing wrong with this alpaca is it's not a male!"
If your goal is to introduce superior genetics that includes bloodlines such as Peruvian Caligula, Peruvian Camilio, and Peruvian Guellermo into your herd then you will be making a sound investment in breeding to El Nino’s Golden Legend.
Dam: AutumnSun's Vanilla Breezes ARI#
31828796 Beige, Light Fawn Vanilla comes from a line of easy-care, easy-breeding, and good-mothering dams. Her grand-dam and dam has have had 80% girls! Will Vanilla produce mostly girls? Could be, as she has had 2 girls to 1 boy! But that is not the only reason to want Vanilla in your herd…
Vanilla’s fiber is very fine and shiny bright, with a good staple with a high frequency crimp. Her annual fiber clip automatically is sorted for next-to-skin products. Her fiber will be wonderful as a roving, mill-spun into yarn, or handspun, and it will easily dye just about any color.
Vanilla is a quintessential production girl. She breeds easily, carries well, and births without assistance. She attentive to her crias and produces plenty of milk. Moreover, she has produced very nice crias for us, two girls and one boy.
Her first cria, born on the Fourth of July, was sired by the sire of champions, El Nino's Golden Legend. Provenance matured quickly, and after a great showing as a juvenile and yearling she has produced fantastic crias for us. Vanilla's 2013 girl sired by Tuscan Gold is brilliant, and was aptly named Golden Reflection (Goldie). Goldie's fiber is just as soft and delicious to touch as her dam's fleece, and Goldie is producing fantastic crias for us as well. In 2014, Vanilla produced a little macho from her breeding to FIA Excello's Rocky Bay. This fawn boy is named Archer for his light marking on his forehead; his fiber is very shiny and soft! For 2015, Vanilla presened to us another girl, this one in a brown coloration. She is a sweetheart and pretty little thing!
Overall, Vanilla has great fiber & conformation, easy health/care & breeding, and a sweet personality just like her dam and grand-dam. In the end, this is what we are all hoping for -- healthy alpacas that breed easily, produce improved crias, and provide a highly quality fiber!
Service Sire: [SALE! CHAMPION] AutumnSun's Supermassive ARI#
32596106 Light Fawn Due Date: 7/13/2024 This male is rooted to the ground. In his maturity, you cannot see his toes in his tree trunk legs with massive coverage on heavy bones. This frame is extremely solid, well conformed, and easy moving. His crimp is still popping and consistent across his blanket. His micron is moving out as he works in our breeding program but his handle and staple are still great! All this fleece and body 'goodness' is topped with a sweet, calm, just-the-facts-m'am personality that makes him an awesome herdsire.... And, then take a look at the fiber of his offspring!
This poor boy didn't get enough love, figuratively and literally, on our farm. Though very nice, we always have so many good males that we keep on our relatively small farm and with our lean towards dark coloration, he often was left off the dance cards of the ladies.
We LOVED his boy Superluminal, so we repeated this breeding for another beige-white offspring but this time a GIRL!!! Imagine my excitement. Her name is Vanora and YES I am planning on breeding her to our BLACK herdsires once I get our genotype results to pick the best one. And, then, we can breed her to one of our brown, roan or fawn herdsires. The sky's the limit when you have nice white fiber and will accept any color offspring!
We also have him bred to our champion Provenance, who has produced beautifully fine, richly golden fawn offspring albeit males (boo). When they were weanlings, I KNEW they would pair nicely together and desperately wanted to complete that breeding. Now that I have, we have Supermassive available for sale simply because we are moving to all dark and closed farm so he would continue to not have enough work. So, we hope you will consider what he can do for you when paired right, because at this price he is a steal of a deal!
Description
We love this girl's potential! She truly is a provenance of fantastic crias.
Her last cria, sired by champion Manassas was a beautiful fleeced fawn male that was sold quickly, and Provenance was an excellent mom (even adopting an 'orphaned' cria). His fiber was so fine and bright that it reminded me of Tussah silk.
She is only priced at this extreme price because of our need to reduce our farm size. It is not demonstrative of what she is worth as she has produced fantastically. We wish we could keep them all but because we cannot, we truly hope that she will be able to find a good home in a breeding program at another happy farm.
She is has been confirmed by ultrasound to be bred to our Supermassive, a pairing that has been destined since they were crias and I saw their fleece side by side. This one I cannot wait to see. I know that it will likely be light fawn (go figure, both LF) but it is sure to be nice! Of course, my fingers are crossed for a girl to add to foundation.
I will honor the price she is at, but it will increase as she gets closer to her due date and she will come off sales list during maternity watch. If you want her, get her now, and I will just mentally berate myself for letting her get away. After she births, if I breed her to one of our darks, I will be keeping her I am sure.

2nd - 2017 TxOLAN Sweetheart Spectacular Fleece Show, Mature Fawn (class "c"), Amanda VandenBosch -- this was her third fleece and she was carrying her first pregnancy while growing it!
2nd - 2015 - TxOLAN, 2-yr-old LF female - Amanda VandenBosch
“well grown” ,“really good degree of fineness" - placed second due to uniformity difference, which we know since she has fawn and white fibers (another ‘fawn grey’, the non-existent color group)
2nd - 2014 - Great Western Alpaca Show, LF Yearling - Jude Anderson (1st was the Reserve Champion).
3rd - 2015 - Great Western Alpaca Show, 2-yr-old LF female
Excellent placing behind a Snowmass Matrix granddaughter and a Running Late granddaughter.
3rd - 2014 - TxOLAN Light Fawn Yearling - Helen Humphreys
The 1st place alpaca is from the Patagonia program. The 2nd alpaca placed over her for uniformity, which did not surprise us since Provinance is really a fawn-grey, with white and fawn fibers intermixed.
3rd - 2014 - NWSS Beige/LF combined Yearling - Sharon Loner
A tough class for a fawn, with 1st & 2nd being Beige color champions.
5th - 2013 - GWAS, LF Juvenile Female - Helen Humphreys
"Excellent staple length." - Perhaps she was affected by the rain/snow storm the day before the show (AGAIN!). I believe the judge's perception was off due to her 'relaxed open' fleece from the moisture. She placed 5 of 13, but we expect better things for this girl in the future.
