Sire: Zodiac's Frango's Leviticus ARI#
35362845 Light Silver Grey Rare Split-Color Male | Proven Producer | Unique Genetics
Take a look at this truly one-of-a-kind male. Levi is an incredibly rare alpaca—born half black and half light silver grey, split right down the middle. His striking coloration is unlike anything else, making him a standout not only on the farm but in the industry.
Levi was born in 2017, sired by JLFA Casanova’s Peruvian Frango (grey Casanova son) and out of Zodiac’s Black Widow (true black), combining powerful grey and black genetics into one exceptional package.
He has already proven himself as a producer. His first cria arrived in 2019, and they have been nothing short of impressive. His son Mario made a strong debut in the show ring, earning 4 First Place ribbons and 1 Second Place at just 6 months old.
Levi carries two distinct fleece types:
His grey fleece is very fine with high-amplitude crimp
His black fleece is soft with a bolder, more defined crimp style
This dual fleece characteristic makes him especially unique and adds versatility to his genetic contribution.
Levi consistently produces eye-catching cria with strong fleece traits and interesting color patterns. His offspring reflect his uniqueness, making him an exciting option for breeders looking to add something truly different to their program.
Levi is a rare opportunity to incorporate distinctive color genetics, proven production, and strong fleece traits into your herd.
Dam: Zodiac's Spalding's Graceful Fawn ARI#
35362838 Light Fawn Grey Genetics Female | Proven Producer | Bred for 2026 Cria
Graceful Fawn is a lovely female backed by strong grey genetics on both sides. She is out of Eponine, one of our original foundation females from Patagonia, known for producing high-quality greys and blacks. Her sire, Spalding, is a striking modern rose grey male with 10 Championships to his name—bringing both phenotype and proven performance into her pedigree.
Graceful Fawn is a well-balanced female with a calm disposition and has proven herself as a consistent producer. Bred to our unique male Leviticus, she delivered an outstanding cria who earned 4 First Place finishes and 1 Second Place at his first show weekend at just 6 months old—an early indicator of the strength of this pairing.
She followed with a promising young black male in 2021 and a medium silver grey cria named Lightning McQueen in 2022, further demonstrating her ability to produce quality across color.
Graceful Fawn has been bred back to Leviticus and is due for an early September 2026 cria. With her production history, this repeat pairing offers exciting potential for another high-quality, show-worthy offspring.
Graceful Fawn is a dependable, easy-keeping female with proven genetics and a consistent track record—making her a strong addition to any breeding program focused on grey and dark color outcomes.
Description
Medium Silver Grey Male | Multi Blue Ribbon Winner | Proven Genetics
Zodiac’s Mario Andretti is a spectacular medium silver grey male backed by a truly unique and powerful pedigree. He is sired by our one-of-a-kind herdsire Leviticus—half light silver grey and half true black—and out of Graceful Fawn, bringing together elite grey and dark color genetics.
This pairing combines the influence of JLFA Casanova’s Peruvian Frango (son of the legendary Snowmass Peruvian Casanova) on the sire side with 10x Champion GMFA Spalding on the dam side—creating a standout male with both genetic strength and visual appeal.
Mario has excellent conformation with a strong, balanced frame. His fleece is very dense with long staple length and well-defined bundles of crimpy fiber, which have continued to improve as he matures.
He made an impressive debut in the show ring at just 6 months old, competing in the Iowa shows in October 2020 and earning multiple Blue Ribbons in competitive juvenile grey classes, along with a ribbon in walking fleece. His early success highlights both his fleece quality and overall presence.
Now entering his breeding career, Mario is already proving his value as a herdsire, and we are excited to see the continued impact of his offspring.
