Blossom was one of three pregnant female alpacas we purchased from Curt and Nancy Gedney at Hummingherd Alpacas. We knew we loved the look and feel of her, but little did we know she would be EXACTLY what our breeding program is now all about. Sustained fineness through age, high curvature of fleece, and strong lineage. She has definitely been THE foundation of our white herd. Blossom's 1st and 2nd cria were sired by the same stud- Marco Polo. The fiber was simply elite and rated in the Top 5% in many categories, but they didn't quite meet our standard for Herdsire. Her 3rd cria on the other hand, out of Snowmass Starquest, is simply....incredible. Check out his video from YouTube. Starquest's Rocketman (Rocky to us) is demonstrating an amazingly consistent fleece that is bright, dense, and FINE. After a very successful show career, he is now standing stud at our farm. Her 2012 cria is an Accoyo America Kashmir daughter who has the potential to be the best female we have produced since 2006. She has her mom (and sire's) fineness, her mom's frame, and her sire's striking density and brightness. Blossom has produced nothing but the highest quality for our farm, which is reflected in her price. With the decision to sell our herd, Blossom is tough to part ways with. She has been one of a few matriarch dams who have defined our breeding program. Take a look at Rocky and Mira to see her strong offspring that have stayed on our farm. At 10 years of age, she still has more Royal cria in her future. She's always been an incredible mom, with little to no intervention on our part. Truly she is elite.

Description

Starquest's Rocketman ("Rocky" as we call him) was one of 6 white males born here on the farm in 2010. We knew within the first week he was going to be special, and it feels good to be right! Rocky represents Excellence in every category. Take a look below- - Pedigree. Rocky's sire is Snowmass Starquest- 2003 AOBA Champion and Futurity Reserve Champion. Starquest brings Augusto, Vengador, Navidad, and Isabella. Rocky's dam is our own Blossom of Snow. This Snowmass Perfection daughter has been a consistent producer of elite fleeced offspring that maintain fineness into adulthood. - Progeny- Rocky's first offspring, a female out of an Accoyo America Ulysses daughter born 10/2013, is DENSE, DENSE. As she has grown we are seeing excellent organization in a fleece that is extremely bright and fine. ******She just won the Reserve Color Championship in the white class at CABA 2015!********* Rocky's cria from 2014 are nothing short of spectacular- excellent density levels, high curvature character, and a very high degree of fineness. If you are looking to infuse lasting fineness with consistency and bring density as well as a high frequency/low amplitude (think zipper crimp) crimp style, then strongly consider introducing Rocketman to your girls and see the results and improvement first hand. Fleece samples available upon request. Combine his 5 year histogram, EPD stature, consistency seen across his first group of offspring from a variance of dams, and his genetic depth- a move from our farm to yours is a solid and worthwhile investment. With our move to sell the herd, we can easily say Rocky has all the superior qualities in a stud- he has routinely stamped superior and sustained fineness in his offspring, along with stamping his head that he inherited from his sire, Snowmass Starquest. An astute breeder will recognize his potency and investment. Rocky's EPD- Top 1% in 3 out of 6 categories SDAFD- Top 1% (.009) MC- Top 1% (.009) SDMC- Top 1% (.009) AFD- Top 2% (.018) SF- Top 2% (.013) %>30- Top 5% (.052)
