To say we are grateful for how far our program has come in the past ten years of breeding these wonderful creatures is a understatement. With now running a herd of 300 or so alpacas, and are blessed to be home to some record holding animals, and animals who are highly sought after. Over the years we have been to many, many shows and our animals have all won quite a few awards. We have supreme champions, judges' choice winners, and multiple championship holders that we are very proud of.

We our proud to be the home of the only alpaca to ever win three AOA National Supreme Championship titles!

Our animals have won championship wins at the Futurity, Nationals, CABA, GWAS, RMAS, MOPACA, TXOLAN, and many more shows across the country, winning in halter, fleece, and walking fleece competitions!

They have won Judges' Choice awards at the Futurity, GWAS, TXOLAN, MOPACA, and many, many other shows across the country, winning them in fleece and halter competitions!

The Red Granite Stud Males haven Get of Sires from the AOA Nationals to The Futurity, GWAS, TXOLAN, MOPACA, NWSS, Mapaca Jubilee, A-OK Blast Off, and many more shows. Winning in again, fleece & halter.

The proudest show moment was at the 2021 Futurity Show when Val D Lsere won the Dark/Mixed Get of Sire and then won the Dark Herdsire of the Year and Light Reserve Herdsire of the Year, what makes things even better was this was his crias second appearance at the Futurity! His modern grey son got the Judges' Choice, making history as the first grey to win the judges' choice at the Futurity.

Our animals have won in Produce of Dam, Bred and Owned, and countless color and reserve championships & judges' choice classes.
