Champion Producer!
AspenAlpacas Earl Grey is an exceptional grey herdsire. He stands out with his statuesque silhouette, proud presence, and gorgeous phenotype. Earl Grey has his sire's outstanding coverage, large bone, and macho, wedge shaped full head, and stunning classic dark silver-grey color. He has a beautiful handling fleece in a uniform dark silver-grey color. His first histogram displayed a 17.2 micron, 4.4 standard deviation, and 2.2% over thirty micron.
Not only are his dam and sire champions, all of Earl Grey's grandparents are champions as well! His paternal grandsire is Jerimiah’s Qualtrain and five-time champion grey. This makes for an impressive pedigree that boasts of Majestic Peruvian Jerimiah, MFI Peruvian Jericho, HA Shades of Grey, Peruvian Presidio, PPPeruvian Augusto, 4Peruvian Legacy, Augusto, Cochiti, Caligula, and Victor! Unfortunately, the covid pandemic limited Earl Grey’s show career.
Earl Grey has already displayed his ability to pass these traits onto his offspring. A MSG 2022 son was a 2x Champion in 2024 & a MSG 2023 daughter won a Blue Ribbon at her first show in 2024. With 22 cria on the ground, 18 are black or grey and the dams vary from grey to white! With this pedigree, show records, fleece traits, and progeny, what's not to like?​

AOA# 36052769 D.O.B. 3/22/2020
Sire: CCNF Legionnaire | AOA# 32511239 | Medium Fawn
Dam: AMBER AUTUMN HOLLY HO | AOA# 32353839 | Medium Fawn
What a handsome package this erect, solid frame, large bone male has! Then opening up an extremely fine fleece, consistent with uniformity of microns across the blanket is a true joy! Check out Hot Chocolate's DENSITY! Holy Moly! You would have to see the most elite alpaca to compare.
Both of Hot Chocolate's parents are Champions. He is the son of 9x Champion, CCNF Legionnaire, a 5-time Judges Choice winner as well as a Futurity Champion and AOA Reserve Champion. Legionnaire's 2015 micron test was, AFD: 17.9 SD: 3.4 CV: 21.2 %>30: 0.5 and mean curvature of 58.6. CCNF Legionnaire is sporting a very Elite and stunning linage. Hot Chocolate's paternal grandparents are Snowmass Matrix Majesty (Snowmass Matrix X Snowmass Simply Scrumptious) and 10X Champion, CCNF Magdalena (Snowmass Legacy Gold X PPeruvian Jesusa).
His dam, Amber Autumn Holly Ho, won multiple Blue-Ribbons in 2014-2015, as well as 1st place and Reserve Champion at the 2014 Best of the US show. Hot Chocolate's maternal grandsire is numerous Blue-Ribbon winner, Eclipse Alyst (out of Australian import, Jolimont 2 Peruvian Sweet William). Amber Autumn stated: "We purchased Eclipse Alyst because of his color, pedigree, and incredible dense fleece that has luster, handle, staple length, and very nice fineness. Eclipse always shears our heaviest weighted fleece even at 8 years of age and is still holding his fineness nicely."
Hot Chocolate’s first offspring have arrived and while there are only a few, they are gorgeous. We are astounded by their density, glowing brightness, independent bundles and micro-bundling, beautiful crimp and style, uniformity, and extremely fine fiber. In fact, their fleeces each have superior traits in all aspects. This covers beautiful frames with correct conformation, great coverage, and strong bone. Hot Chocolate is also producing offspring usually darker than the dam. The darkest is currently dark brown. We can’t wait to utilize these prepotent genetics next season and see more cria! Watch for his cria in our show-string and contact us for a breeding to create a stunning cria of your own!

PATAGONIA'S EL GALAN
4 x Color Champion!
Patagonia’s El Galan has an elegant, soft handle, buttery fleece, and is a strong-boned pure white herdsire that has recently had drop dead crias hit the ground. It is nice to finally select the right breedings for this magnificent male to see his full potential as a sire of champions. El Galan’s progeny truly remind me of what his sire, Patagonia’s Cayo, looked like when he was a juvenile. El Galan’s dam, Patagonia’s Fantasma, has a show record of her own, and is on our foundation herd. El Galan has a nice stature, very crimpy fleece that is remaining soft, bright, and silky. This sire is definitely passing on these wonderful characteristics to his progeny with bundling, beautiful structure, uniformity of micron count and color in their fleece, adding dense, dense fleece and staple length. During the 2017 show season, his stunning juvenile crias have received Color Champion, Reserve Champion, and Blue and Red ribbons.
