Amelie

ARI #: 31357814 | DOB: 2008-09-24 | Color: Light Rose Grey

Auction: 2010 Parade of Champions
Lot Number: 19

A lovely and striking modern rose gray whose fleece follows suit, Amelie is a standout. Elegant and yet bold she retains incredible pedigree which may help to explain all of her excellence. Her sire is the amazing Premier`s Absolute, one of the great gray males ever produced here in the U.S.A. and now owned on the east coast by DAFI Alpacas. To compliment her many attributes we have bred her to the one and only ATV Adonnis. Now if you like to breed gray alpacas, this female with this breeding may be the one to move you out of the crowd and into the grey winners circle. We certainly believe that she has all of the tools.

Sombra

ARI #: 31357616 | DOB: 2008-07-17 | Color: True Black

Auction: 2010 Parade of Champions
Lot Number: 49

Sombra never was able to show as a cria because of a broken leg sustained on some ice in the extreme cold of December 2008 in Central Oregon. By spring she was all healed and so, the following autumn we took her to her first show in Denver, the ABR Fall Festival. She was the Reserve Color Champion Black Female. Her impeccable conformation is complimented by the sturdiness of her frame and symmetry of her lines and proportions. Her very dense black fleece is uniformed throughout, visible in the order of high frequency and moderate amplitude crimp. Into her second histogram, she is still maintaining good fineness as seen above. We have bred her to our up and coming black star, Crescent Moon`s Nitro. Our goal with the breeding is a black offspring who will eventually gain championship status. We think that Sombra and Nitro have a good chance to make that happen. Heck, looking at their individual show records that notion is not at all that farfetched! Wouldn`t you agree?

Vianca

ARI #: 31738194 | DOB: 2009-06-30 | Color: Light Brown

Auction: 2010 Parade of Champions
Lot Number: 35

Wow, what a lovely alpaca Vianca is! We have been saying it for years and there is no surprise here because Valentino produces great looking cria. Along with all of that beauty you will find the DNA and the fiber that you would expect. Her mother is a Legacy daughter who did very well in the show ring for us and Vianca`s fiber retains all of the great qualities that have made Legacy and Valentino so important to our breeding program here. Brightness, fineness, crimp and density uniformally run through her golden brown fleece. With a female like Vianca you are starting way ahead of the curve, but the key always is to make the next generation even better. Who to choose for that? We kind of like either Shiftin Gears or Gear Jammer, but then again Lunar Breeze would be an awesome choice. Who do you like?

Chapaca

ARI #: 31357739 | DOB: 2009-05-15 | Color: Dark Fawn

Auction: 2010 Parade of Champions
Lot Number: 4

         We decided that we had to put Shiftin Gears` incredible fleece traits into the dark side of the herd. We recognized that this process would take a few years and that we would have to sell some of those offspring along the way. The breeding selection has been easy, but the releasing of these incredible critters is a little more difficult. We offer you Crescent Moon`s Chapaca a dark fawn/light brown daughter of Shiftin Gears and The Snickers. The Snickers is a true black female with an enormous production record. Her first and most notable cria to date is Crescent Moon`s Pinnacle, the 2002 AOBA National Show Brown Male Champion, now owned by the very good folks at La Buena Vida Alpacas and Final Frontier Alpacas. With multiple daughters in the herd from Snickers, it is fitting to release her most recent gem here at the Parade of Champions. Chapaca (named after her grand dam) reveals big fleece of abundant architecture, excellent staple development and significant length. Her lovely head is reminiscent of both of her grand dams and so is her sweet temperament. Chapaca sells with a breeding to any CMR herdsire. Oh boy will this be fun! What is your goal here? Let`s talk!

Talladega

ARI #: 31738378 | DOB: 2009-07-19 | Color: Medium Fawn

Auction: 2010 Parade of Champions
Lot Number: 45

A picture is worth a million words and her picture says it all. To say that Talladega is a temptress is totally fitting. Multiples of you have come up to us at alpaca shows this year to ask, “who is that”? As beautiful as she is, her fleece does not at all disappoint. Density, fineness, luminescence and design pop at you when you touch and see. We love Talladega, the judges have loved Talladega and so will you. She comes with a breeding and that is the hardest decision that you will have to make when considering this offering. Bring your lucky coin because you just may want it handy to make this decision!

Tell Me Sumpin Good

ARI #: 31764780 | DOB: 2009-07-17 | Color: Medium Fawn

Auction: 2010 Parade of Champions
Lot Number: 68

Her name suggests her inherent quality and the name is totally fitting and accurate in what it reports. However, make sure that you ask us how she got her name, because the rest of the story is more involved.

The bottom line for you is that Sumpin Good is a full Peruvian medium fawn Legacy daughter. She is ultra fine as indicated by her histogram above and her full sister (from 2008) showed similar fineness in her first histogram, so there is no mystery here. She is very bright with excellent staple development and what you see and feel in one place, you see and feel everywhere across her blanket. She is very pleasing to the eye and she is elegant. She maintains a traditional huacaya head that by appearance makes her an unmistakable offspring of Legacy. Sumpin Good comes with a breeding when she is ready. I don`t know about you, but I`m thinking Shiftin Gears!

Tiberia

ARI #: 31358293 | DOB: 2008-08-28 | Color: Beige

Auction: 2010 Parade of Champions
Lot Number: 57

       This full Peruvian Legacy daughter is a jewel in her own right and the fact that she is now pregnant with Elite just makes the jewel crowned. An inspection of her stacked pedigree reveals her extremely influential relatives to be among some of the best to ever reproduce in North America. There is scarcely an alpaca breeder in the country who wouldn`t agree that the great Victor and the incomparable Sara from Timberland Alpacas wouldn`t be on that list. Now factor in Legacy and Elite and you are starting to see what we are discussing here. Tiberia is dense with high frequency and low amplitude fleece style which is well locked and long. Her breeding with Elite was selected with a son in mind.  We hear from people all of the time about their interest in Legacy offspring or Elite offspring or both. Here is your chance to bring this excellence to your herd with one easy lift of your hand.

Amelia

ARI #: 1150032 | DOB: 2004-05-24 | Color: Light Fawn

Auction: 2010 Parade of Champions
Lot Number: 61

        Skyline Amelia is a product of the outstanding breeding program being assembled by our friend and partner Mary Jaffe at Skyline Alpacas. Amelia is an Accoyo El Nino daughter and at her side is her most recent cria, Crescent Moon`s Krystalynn a stunning daughter by Kirwin. This tandem of mother and daughter will melt you, by their beauty, quality and genetic power. In the cria alone you have the names of Danko, Rayo del Sol, Kirwin, Royal Fawn,  Camilio, Caligula, and of course the great El Nino. To make this even better we have rebred Amelia to Crescent Moon`s Gear Jammer, one of our up and coming stars whose early production is incredible. The offspring from that cria will include the names of Elite, Shiftin Gears, Gear Jammer, Legacy, Chaccu, Camilio, El Nino and Caligula. Let`s cut to the chase here! We are talking incredible pedigree and quality. Can you say Wow?

Accoyo Leilani

ARI #: 31357210 | DOB: 2009-06-02 | Color: White

Auction: 2010 Parade of Champions
Lot Number: 21

Leilani is a full Accoyo Legacy/Elite cross. That is one of the reasons that she is such a stand out alpaca. Just try and convince us that you don`t receive Accoyo inspiration from those histogram numbers! Along with her outstanding fineness and uniformity, Leilani also has excellent density. When you part her fleece you will experience eye popping expression of crimp and dramatic brightness. We never showed Leilani because of a fawn spot on her left side. However, it is because of that fawn spot that we have pairing options for you that are nothing short of incredible. With your purchase, Leilani can be bred to any of our Crescent Moon Ranch studs and that includes Crescent Moon`s Accoyo Nobility. Leilani is however related to Nobility so that if you are uncomfortable with that pairing, you may also choose Senor Accoyo Caliente. Both of these fellows are fawn full Accoyo and each is simply stunning. Once you own Leilani, then you will always have the excellence that she will provide. However on her first breeding we are thinking Fawn Full Accoyo.  How does that sound to you?

Haeley

ARI #: 31357746 | DOB: 2009-05-15 | Color: Beige

Auction: 2010 Parade of Champions
Lot Number: 64

The gorgeous Haeley is a product of Jerry Dunne`s little herd here at Crescent Moon Ranch and she sells with all of the same ranch guarantees that the Crescent Moon alpacas do. That being acknowledged Jerry`s little herd is sensational and well it should be. Each year Jerry gets to select a female from the cria crop for his abundant contribution to the Crescent Moon operation. May I say that he has exquisite taste and that when he selected the lovely Crescent Moon`s Hottie a few years ago; I was not at all surprised. Hottie lives up to her name. Behold her equally lovely daughter by Crescent Moon`s Shiftin Gears; LBA Haeley. Haeley`s bountiful beauty is held up by a fleece which is electric. She is exceedingly fine and her fleece reveals very well locked staple development which is ultra bright. Haeley is not only a champion, but she will make an excellent foundation female. Her first breeding will take some discernment as your options are many. We are ready to help with that decision whenever you and she are ready.

Accoyo Josiah

ARI #: 31358118 | DOB: 2009-06-13 | Color: Light Fawn

Auction: 2010 Parade of Champions
Lot Number: 28

Crescent Moon`s Josiah is a full Accoyo Fawn Legacy son. That statement speaks volumes to us and hopefully to you as well. His dam, Calla Lille is a Camilio daughter who has had an extraordinary impact on our breeding program. We have retained two of her daughters as part of our foundation herd here and we also have two of her grandsons as herdsires. Josiah`s heritage makes him an A Line male, but his fleece looks more like a cross between the A and B Lines combined. His outstanding fineness and brightness (B Line) combine for exceptional handle, while his density and expressive fleece character lend themselves more toward the A Line fleeces. Either way, his is a beautiful fleece, a Legacy fleece and Josiah is certain to make a significant impact wherever he ends up breeding.

We are proud to offer Josiah for your consideration. Let him transform your herd as his heritage has done for ours.
