Service Sire: Snowmass Enlightened
30852792<--ari-->Medium Rose Grey<--color-->Skyline Alpacas is extremely pleased to announce the arrival of our newest herdsire, Snowmass Enlightened. One can’t say enough about the quality of this male. I first saw his 2-year-old fleece (3rd fleece) at the CABA Classic fleece show in 2013 and couldn’t believe my eyes. The density, crimp, uniformity, and brightness were truly amazing. No wonder he got Color Champion! Never in my dreams did I think I someday would be the proud owner of this fine male!
Here is what Snowmass had to say about their boy:
“Snowmass Enlightened is a supernal, Multi-Champion Rose Grey Stud. His evolution descends from a remarkable lineage of momentous sires. Most Proximate is his own sire, Snowmass Enlightenment, who is also a multi-champion rose grey stud. He is sired by multi-champion Snowmass XXXtreme, who is sired by Multi-champion Snowmass Royal Rose… All of this is a proven grey performance at its paramount.
Enlightened has a variety of grey, fawn, and dark offspring – all of which are stunning. Their fleeces are all consistently fine, dense, and bright with their sire’s sublime aesthetic in their overall phenotype.”
Now that is an impressive genetic history that shows generation after generation of excellence. We can’t wait to see his first cria on our farm in 2015!<--description-->
Cinnamon Rose is a spectacular Rose Grey gal out of one of the best greys we've ever had on our farm… Patagonia's Chilena. Sadly, we lost Chilena in 2008 but at least we have her Kaspa daughter, Cinnamon Rose. Chilena remained fine throughout her life, and Cinnamon Rose is following in her footsteps. Patagonia's Kaspa is also very well known and was one of Patagonia's top herdsires for many years.
Cinnamon Rose is now one of our favorite foundation females and she still maintains her fineness. Her fleece is always one that we choose to have processed into our yarn. We love its uniformity, fineness and brightness.
Cinnamon Rose also has produced wonderful cria for us. We especially love her 2014 Magistrate cria, a silver grey female!
