ASPEN ALPACAS BRUSSELS

UPDATE : We have added four breedings to Vapor who has been closed since Fall 2025 to celebrate his award as the #1 male in the country in Fleece, These breedings sold out in four days! Ironhide Vapor is a male packed to the brim with ELITE color genetics and we are excited to co-own him with Cadence Rarden, Marc & Sharon Milligan's granddaughter. Vapor’s maternal-lineage is one that needs to be explored to be appreciated. His roan dam, Red Granites Vida is an elite daughter of Kirwin and out of a Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose daughter, Red Granites Sizlin Vixen. Kirwin was a 13-time Champion and was one of the best brown males of his generation, contributing to some of the finest lines in the United States. Sizlin Vixen herself is out of MSA Valpolicella, a 3-time Champion Brown female that Marc and Sharon bought from Morning Sun Alpacas at auction. Valpolicella (or Valpo as she is affectionately known as) was a solid foundation dam for Red Granite Ranch from 2009 to 2019, producing White to Black, and champion offspring who have then went on to produce champions. Her most notable son is Copaca’s Summit, a Tequila Sunrise son with Top 1 % EPDs went on to only have one cria, named Red Granites Pennacle, a 3-time White Champion and 2-time Best Bred & Owned Champion male, now owned by Deja Vu Alpacas. The paternal-lineage of Vapor includes 2-time AOA National Fawn Champion; Red Granites Aragon. Aragon has held a micron within the 14-18 micron range his entire life, and has the unique fleece characteristics of a vicuña. He is sired by the incredible CCNF Legionnaire, a National & Futurity Fawn Champion winner. He too holds and incredibly fine fleece for his age. He is sire of Canadian Supreme Champions, National Championship winners, and even the Densest Biopsied alpaca. Not to mention, his offspring were hand selected by the incredible breeders in Australia; EP Cambridge Alpaca Stud. Aragon was just awarded Judge's Choice at the age of 8! He stands on strong bones with great capacity and size for his age and has a super “typey” phenotype! Not to mention, he has been a solid show contender garnering 20 championship banners, including AOA Nationals!! Color Genotype: EE a2a3 (non-grey) Ironhide Vapor will produce medium fawn to true black depending on how he is bred, he will never produce white/light. In addition, he will pass down an "a" allele to all of his progeny, so they will all cover black. Fleece Description Incredibly soft handling fleece. Wonderful uniformity of micron, his primary to secondary ratio is exceptionally good. He also carries through with brightness, and a wonderful crimp style + above average staple length. In July of 2026, Vapor was awarded the #1 male in Fleece by AOA for the prior show season. Quite an accomplishment!
