TP Poseidon's Motivator is one of Poseidon's most impressive offspring. Like many of Poseidon's kids, he is extremely dense. Like many of Poseidon's kids, he has an extreme expression of crimp. Like many of Poseidon's kids, he has an extremely bright and fine fleece. Like many of Poseidon's kids, he has amazing bundle formation. One of his truly exquisite characteristics is that he thoroughly expresses ALL of these with a stylish, typey phenotype. He has now won 29 Championships and is an established producer of champions of his own. We have sold our interest in this amazing young male and would like to congratulate Greg and Sandy Smith of Black Forest Alpacas in Black Forest Colorado and Richard and Jennifer Babcock of Las Bonitas Alpaca Ranch in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He is standing stud in Colorado at their two farms. His cria have consistently had improved density and fineness over their dams along with his gorgeous head and proud stance. His cria uniformly are well boned with correct conformation and bite. As you can see below, his EPD's are all in the top 15% or better...top 3-4% for fleece weight. We have also done a skin biopsy on him in the spring of 2013 at 5.5 years of age and this is what Dr Norm Evans found: "His true density is 72.19 follicles SQ MM of skin and his S/P ratio is 12.1 to 1. He shows level 4 of 4 glands and 40% of his secondary fibers are medullated as seen as the red spots in the center of the fibers on the all scans. 100 secondary fibers average 20.7 microns and 50 primary fibers average 24.9 microns for a variation of only 5.2 microns. Poseidon and Tallow certainly combined the hybrid vigor of both their genetics to produce Motivator. His fineness for age, glands, and narrow primary to secondary are genetic traits for the future in my opinion."

We are thrilled for the opportunity to own Snowmass Matrix Moonlight. She is a beautiful beige daughter of Snowmass Matrix. She has wonderful conformation and bite with a fine, dense fleece that is full of character and should compliment Motivator's fleece style perfectly. In addition to her elite light fleece genetics, she is a grand daughter of Snowmass Nova and so carries some elite color genetics as well. She has proven herself to be a reliable producer no matter who we have used as her service sire. Snowmass Matrix Moonlight currently has a beautiful Snowmass Elite Legend daughter at her side-TP Chandra of Legend who is a promising young female. Her 15x scan shows fiber clusters that are uniform in shape. Her density is 46.75 follicles SQ MM of skin while 25 fiber clusters showed an average S/P of 11.6 to 1. She shows level 1 of 4 gland presence which is a genetic trait passed usually as a male trait to the off spring in the form of fiber brightness. Note on all scans that less than 10% of her secondary fibers are medullated where 50-60 is average in most huacayas at any age. 100 secondary fibers averaged 16.7 microns and 50 primary fibers average 20.1 microns for a variation of only 3.4 microns. While Moonlight is not the most dense female and does not have the highest level of gland presence, she grades in the top 1 percent for other traits. This level of fineness is extremely rare. A male with nice gland presence and density should produce champions with Moonlight.
