Sire: Estates Sakima's Braxton ARI#
35575078 True Black We've been searching for a black herdsire to cover our Captain Midnight, Contender and Chicago offspring. We think Braxton is our guy.
We are so excited to announce that Braxton has been awarded the Color Championship in the Black Male Invited Champions at the 2021 National Alpaca Show in Grand Island Nebraska. Thank you to our partner Lynn Edens for showing Estates Sakima's Braxton. It is interesting to note that Braxton's sire, Patagonia Estates Sakima won Reserve Champion Black Male at the age of 69 months at this same show. That says a lot about the future.
Braxton and his wonderful combination of genetics are exciting for the future of black (and grey) alpacas here at Cinco C's Alpacas and Little Creek Farm Alpacas.
Braxton won again at the 2022 AOA National Alpaca Show in Ft Wayne, IN. He was awarded 1st and Champion Black Male in the Invited Champions Class for 2022. He's now back to work and we anxiously await his first group of crias.
Thank you to all you folks who have inquired about breedings to Braxton. Braxton's breedings are closed. Both farms have females bred to him for sale. His first crias have arrived and they stunning! Of his 14 registered crias 11 are TB and the other 3 are DB. There are two champions so far and I'm betting on more to come. The crias I have had my hands on are all very uniform with very bright, dense fleeces. We're excited to see the next round of crias from Braxton.

Dam: 5C's Chocotini ARI#
31342087 Dark Brown We absolutely love this girl. She's the first cria from our Chantica and she's every bit as wonderful as her mother. Chocotini's dark brown fleece is extremely dense with a very high frequency crimp. Her phenotype is stunning and her demeanor is very pleasing. See her...touch her and take a look at her fiber stats at 15 years old and you will realize why she's so priceless to us. Check out the photo of her first cria Chanel. Then check her 2nd cria, Captain Midnight. She's a great mother and producer.
Bred to Dark Chocolate

Description
5C's Ciara is the first cria from Braxton, In this case we chose Captain Midnight's dam and I think we have another great one! Ciara is a big sturdy female with plenty of promise. Color Champion as a yearling. She is most likely her dam's replacement and we'll breed her in the spring of 2024.
