Description
Co-Owned between Ironhide Alpacas & Aspen Alpaca Company in Idaho. He will be standing stud in Colorado from October to May and in Idaho from May to August. Limited introductory breedings will be available at both farms!
Ironhide Vapor is a young male packed with ELITE color genetics and a show-ring résumé to back it up!
His dam, Red Granites Vida, is a roan daughter of the legendary Kirwin—a 13-time champion and one of the most influential brown males in U.S. breeding history. Vida’s dam is a daughter of Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose and out of MSA Valpolicella, a 3-time champion brown female who anchored our foundation herd for a decade. Valpolicella produced a range of champions from white to black, including the likes of Copaca’s Summit and his only cria, Red Granites Pennacle, a 3-time white champion/Best Bred & Owned winner now owned by Deja Vu Alpacas. This maternal line continues to leave a legacy of consistency, color, and champion production.
Vapor’s sire, Red Granites Aragon, is a 3-time AOA National Fawn Champion known for maintaining a micron range of 14–18 throughout his life. Aragon's fleece has a vicuña-like character, and he’s sired by the great CCNF Legionnaire, a Futurity and National Champion whose genetics are widely respected both in North America and internationally—including at EP Cambridge Alpaca Stud in Australia. Too boot, Aragon won a Judges' Choice at 8-years-old, proving his longevity of positive fiber traits.
Structurally, Vapor stands out with his strong bone, great frame, and highly refined, “typey” huacaya appearance. He is perfectly proportioned. His fleece mirrors his genetics: bright, fine, uniform, and dense.
He has already proven himself in the ring with 10 championship banners, including one from AOA Nationals—and he’s just getting started. Look for him in the rings Fall 2025 to Spring 2026!
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.
