We are now closing Legionnaire to outside breedings. With hi weight fluctuation and age we think it best to keep him in house. He has many sons working for us! To say we were excited to partner with Amber Autumn Alpacas with CCNF Legionnaire at the 2014 Breeders Edge Auction would be an understatement, a huge one. In a long run, Legionnaire went on to be the highest selling alpaca at the auction (we bought him for $57,500), figures considering this guys genetics. This spectacular young male was the 2015 Futurity Fawn Male Color Champion & 2015 AOA National Fawn Male Reserve Champion!! Two of the most prestigious shows in the alpaca industry and he took home purple. Ending his show career with four Judges' Choice awards and nine Championship awards. By one of the world’s great sires, out of a female from a sensational family line who has made a huge impact on the United States industry, here we have a male bred on a cross that has been proven to produce champions. CCNF Legionnaire, a son of Snowmass Matirx Majesty, has enjoyed extraordinary success as a sire with championship winners in both the United States and Canada and his offspring being found in Poland, United States, Canada, and Australia. Overall, his offspring have won many championships and even Judges’ Choice and National Championship titles. Even more impressive, his son Red Granites Pallaton (Now resides in Poland) won the 2018 Canadian Supreme Champion Male award, Palltons offspring have had much success in the Canadian show rings themselves. Another son by Legionnaire, Red Granites Man of Mystery (Owned by Willow Wind Farm Alpacas) is the densest alpaca yet biopsied by Ian Watt in the USA, and we have not yet heard of a denser alpaca out there a at a whopping 127.2 follicles/square mm density. His daughter, Red Granites Pixie was sold at the 2018 Amber Autumn Auction for a pretty penny, where she was purchased by EP Cambridge Alpaca Stud in Australia. Combining Cas-Cad-Nac's powerhouse production female; CCNF Magdalena and Snowmass Matrix Majesty you would only hope for an advanced fleece, Legionnaire carries a extremely advanced fleece. He carried a six year old fleece with a AFD of 17.3 and SD of 2.5, SIMPLY UNREAL numbers for a six year old BREEDING male. Legionnaire's breedings are limited, please contact us for more information.

Epic X Celestial Cygnus is a proven Appaloosa Huacaya herdsire combining distinctive pattern, championship quality, and a pedigree built around generations of accomplished genetics. Cygnus carries a highly defined spotted blanket with strong consistency across his pattern, while his fleece has continued to grade well across multiple shearings. He is a strong, boxy male with substantial bone and correct structure, earning two Color Championships along with numerous first-place wins in halter and walking fleece. Cygnus’ paternal pedigree brings together several lines that are especially important to our patterned breeding program. His sire, Enchanted Hill LuTau, is out of Vintage Cashmere Utopia and Enchanted Hill Appalucy, combining the influence of Aussie Rockford and imported Harlequin Appaloosa Maria’s Angel. Aussie Rockford is a son of Hannahruh, another historic animal included in our ongoing Appy Origins research. These lines add meaningful depth behind the pattern we see in Cygnus today. His dam, Snowmass Elite Celestial Legend, brings another layer of quality to the pedigree. In addition to producing Appaloosa offspring, she maintained Top 1% EPD rankings across six fleece categories into her teens. She is a daughter of the highly accomplished Snowmass Elite Legend, adding proven fleece quality and production strength to Cygnus’ maternal side. Cygnus has proven that his value extends well beyond his own show record. His offspring include Appaloosa and Harlequin Appaloosa progeny that have earned championships, reserve championships, National honors, and repeated blue-ribbon wins. Notable Offspring: * ELWD’s Hittin The High Notes - 4x CC, 6x RC, 1x Best B&O, 15x Blue, 2026 AOA National Invited Champion * Elderwood’s Twitch Craft - 1x CC, 2x RC, 2x Blue * MTAR Shoulda Been A Cowboy - 2x RC, 9x Blue, 2025 AOA National Reserve Walking Fleece Champion * 5S Backroads - 1x Blue Cygnus continues to play an important role in our Appaloosa and Harlequin Appaloosa breeding program, combining pattern with the fleece quality, structure, and production consistency we want to carry forward.

Certificate

A true daughter of distinction, Red Granites Macchiato shares the same elite pedigree and harlequin appaloosa genetics as her legendary full brother, Red Granites Man of Mystery (formerly “Pinctus”)—but brings her own unmistakable flair to the pasture.

Macchiato is an exquisite female, boasting the same confident, upright frame and eye-catching phenotype that sets her bloodline apart. Her fleece is simply enchanting: fine, incredibly dense, and impressively uniform with a soft hand and consistent character from shoulder to hip. Like her brother, she exhibits the rare and coveted harlequin appaloosa patterning—lavender-fawn hues intermixed with rose grey, silver, and subtle chocolate undertones that shimmer in the light. It's a color combination that draws attention in the show ring and adds a unique element to any breeding program.

Her ancestry traces directly to the legendary Black Epic, one of the most influential harlequin appaloosa producers in North America, and her fiber quality echoes the long-lasting fineness and density found throughout her lineage. With such an impressive genetic foundation and maternal elegance, Macchiato is poised to be not only a standout in the show ring but a cornerstone female for producing the next generation of elite harlequin huacayas.

We are very excited about this young female!
