COLOR COLOR AND MORE COLOR! Snowmass Violet is loaded with color genetics. Newly added to our Breeding Program, we are looking forward to seeing what Violet, with her exceptional lineage & fleece characteristics will bring to our herd, with her current and future breedings.Her sire-Incan Magic is the premier Gray Herdsire of the North American Alpaca Stud, and is owned by Cas-Cad-Nac Alpacas, who holds him exclusively with limited outside breedings. With the fiber density and ultra fine fleece he inherited from his dam, 4Peruvian Amanda (who in 2006, at the age of 15, had an AFD <17!!), Magic has traits that are often sorely missing in this color category.Her dam-Snowmass Zima consistently throws award-winning cria, & though she may be white, she is a hidden treasure of color genetics, with her parents being Medium Rose Grey/White and True Black. True to her genes, Zima has thrown mostly Blacks, Silver Greys, & Rose Greys.Violet's fiber combines lovely long staple length with density and ultra fineness even at 10 years of age!! She has a history of producing fine-fleeced crias (5 out of 7 were females!), is a great mother and an easy birther. She is gentle on the lead, will step right up on the scale, and will hold still for toenail clipping.In 2010, she gave birth to a beautiful LSG girl-Incan Essence (who we also now own) out of Brio of Rancho Encantado. This year, she is bred to the 1/2 Accoyo Rivanna Stormy Monday for a June 2012 cria. Stormy Monday is loaded with his own outstanding genetics, and is out of Snowmass Esperanza (out of Canadian Champion/Snowmass Pick Jericho 691) and Sir Peruvian Accoyo Killian (out of Ppperuvian El Moustachio & Accoyo 4Peruvian Karina).We are excited to see what this breeding will bring forth--an award winner for sure!!
