Val d'Isère Alpine Spirit

"This male is something special, an honor to be judging him." - 2018 AOA National Show after winning his third Supreme Championship. 23-time Get of Sire Winner, 2X Herdsire of the Year & 3X Herdsire of the Year Dark-Colored Offspring In the thorughbred industry, it's often said that you breed the best to the best and then hope for the best. That certainly wasn't the case when Red Granites Val D Lsere took out the Dark Male Supreme Champion award at the AOA National Show for three consecutive years in a row -- all the ingrediants were there for a born champion recipe, and they were expertly combined and brilliantly presented. Red Granites Val D Lsere is ONE IN A MILLION. Our first ever alpaca to reach vicuna fine fleece at 13.9 microns with intense curvature at 64.6, making profound impressions in the huacaya breeding programs in his first breeding years, and will continue for many more years to come, he is the TRUE definition of the ideal huacaya. His fleece has been described numerous times by top international judges as the most highly developed fleece they have ever seen. Val D Lsere and his successes make him one of the most successful alpacas in US history and judges have said he is the best they have seen. He has a very bright, extraordinarily dense, fine fleece with a merino-type crimp style. Val is a very compact male with a very strong heavy bone structure. All of these traits are being seen in his offspring. He rapidly rose to a legendary level and is, without a doubt, one of the most significant alpacas ever to be born at Red Granite Ranch and possibly in the US, and is one of the most highly decorated alpacas in the world. Val D Lsere is truly revoultionary for the next generation of Huacaya fleeces and genetics. He has produced colors all across the spectrum, including rose and silver-grey. He has already produced AOA National champions & Futurity Champions. He is showing to be EXTREMELY POTENT with producing top-quality animals no matter the color of the offspring or dam. If you get your hands on his genetics do not let go of them, they are PRICELESS. Offspring have sold for auction high prices of $40K, $41K, and even $130K!! Considering only two of his offspring lay outside of the US, his lines are extremely favorable here in the US, so if you get a hold of his genetics do not let them go! Fiber and Fleece Description EXQUISITE in all respects. Merino and Vicuna qualities pushed together. Red Granites Val D Lsere is the Herdsire who is dominating the New Generation. He is a restricted herdsire, no outside breedings are offered (sometimes open 3-5 per year, check for availability). Offspring may be offered at auction or through via private sales. 2022 #1 National High Point Huacaya Male 2022 #2, #7, & #8 National High Point Huacaya Female 2023 #10 National High Point Huacaya Female, Halter 2023 #3, #4, & #10 National High Point Huacaya Male, Fleece
