Ironhide Vapor is a 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 with a perfect bite. His fleece mirrors his genetics: bright, fine, uniform, and dense with an extremely soft, supple hand to it.

He has already proven himself in the ring with 28 championship banners, including four at AOA Nationals, 2 in walking fleece, 1 in halter, and another in the AOA National IFA Show, PLUS The Futurity. To boot, he won the Most Uniform for Grade 0 fleece at the National IFA Show with a micron variance of just 0.3 - INCREDIBLE!! His walking fleece score cards are close to perfection ranging from 82-92%. Now, take a look at his 2025 samples done by Ian Watt with a OFDA2000, he averaged: AFD 14.6, SD 2.7, CV 18.7, %30 0.0, MC 63.7, and staple length of about 3.8 inches - all at 24-months old.

Top 1% in AFD, Spin Fineness, and %>30 — this male offers elite micron-reduction genetics. A true fineness specialist built for programs seeking measurable fiber refinement.

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.
