Sire: Snowmass Royal Reserve
30424296<--ari-->Medium Fawn<--color-->Perhaps the most decorated Royal Rose son ever produced, this impact stud combines the genetics of Hemingway and Bueno with Snowmaster. This combination of density and fineness has been carried throughout his offspring. Royal Reserve's offspring continue to perform well in the show ring! <--description-->

Armstrong is named after the vet that saved him in a dystocia birth. We could see right away he was something special, especially his density. He is our top son of Levi's 501 in his first year of production. His dam is a solid and very beautiful Cochiti daughter out of our greatest import dam, PPeruvian Esmeralda. Armstrong has very solid conformation and a dense, crimpy fleece that will knock your socks off. He placed second in his first show at eight months of age, beating two of three Amber Autumn entries in the class. As a yearling he won first place and his first Color Championship at SWRAS under Amanda. She said he took it hands down. And at the much bigger GWAS show he took first place over some great animals and big name farms. Peter Kennedy praised his fineness and consistency over the entire fleece. We now have his skin biopsy results from Ian Watt (Australian), which show a follicle density of 81.8/sq mm! Astute breeders who are measuring all their animals' density are not approaching this. Armstrong has even surpassed his sire Levi's 501, who is now on the herdsire row at Little Creek Farm/Accoyo America East, in both density and fineness. One of a kind.

What do you think of when you hear the name Snowmass Lady Liberty? Freedom, Liberation, Patriot, and Lady Anthem. These are the names of her first 4 award winning offspring. In our opinion, the defining characteristic in a powerful dam is her ability to produce elite quality offspring. Lady Liberty is such a dam.
First, take a look at her pedigree. The names of Hemingway, Royal Rose, Snowmaster, Bueno, Snowmass EVOQ and 5Peruvian Chaccu should tell you everything you need to know. It's a virtual "who's who" of the elite lines in the alpaca industry.
Next, take a look at her offspring:
