Shogun’s Sunset is a cross between Accoyo America and Snowmass lines. On the top he has Accoyo America Shogun, a Legacy son, as a grandsire. Shogun was the sire of National Champion Kingfish and when I looked at Shogun’s offspring I noted that we have retained many of the females in our breeding program here at Little CreekFarm Alpacas in North Salem. We go to this line at Accoyo America for staple length, fleece weight/density without sacrificing style or fineness. I imagine that is why Julie Skinner purchased Sunset’s sire, Shogun’s Samurai, to not only improve staple length in the Snowmass herd but to introduce genetic diversity with a complementary fleece style while doing so. On the bottom of Shogun’s Sunset’s pedigree is Legendary Sunshine, a fawn Elite Legend daughter. Legendary Sunshine gets high marks for fineness and uniformity, and my shearing notes say that she maintained a grade 1 fleece as a six year old in 2021. Shogun’s Sunset comments from shearing were for fleece “excellent overall-sale or use”. As you can imagine being pegged as an animal to “use” in the Snowmass breeding program is a designation that most males here won’t ever reach. His conformation notes say that his is square and correct. My only negative notation is that he has lost some facial coverage. 2020 Histogram: 16.6/3.9/23.7/1.0 curv. 65.0 2021 Histogram: 18.4/4.0/21.6/1.0 curv. 53.8 EPD's are in Top 5% Genotype is: ee Aa Introductory breeding fee includes full boarding (60 days) $1250

AOA# 36044962DOB: 4/15/20214 yrs
Cristal is a beautiful female with a phenotypical head style. Her fleece is very fine, uniform and a well defined crimp structure. 2024 Breeding: to Shogun: Crystal delivered a beautiful beige male Cria 14.2 lbs on 4/11/25. She didn't quite know what to do with him being a first time mom so we've had to bottle feed him. 2026 Spring crua due by Patagonia's Chief. We will birth out and make sure this Cria is healthy and well nursed. This should be a stunning Cria.

Description

Little John was born in Spring of 2025 but his mother was young and wouldn't let him nurse. He had a plasma transfusion and was bottle fed. He is very friendly, maybe too friendly but we've left him alone in the field with other aplaca and he seems to be bonding with them. He can be sold as a pet but I just wanted to make any potential buyer aware that he was a bottle fed baby and super attached to humans when he was younger. Hopefully that won't be a problem but wanted to put it out there for any potential new owners.
