When we purchased Moonlight to add to our breeding program he was a young unproven male with flawless conformation and incredible fleece. With the genetics of Hemingway and Bueno from his sire Royal Rose and Legacy from the incomparable Legacy Gold on his dam's side we knew he was a genetic winner. The question was, could he produce? A son of Snowmass Royal Rose and Snowmass Legacy's Moonlight combines the powerhouse genetics of Peruvian Hemingway, Peruvian Bueno and 4Peruvian Legacy. He has exceptional, balanced conformation with excellent bone and wonderful proportion. He has a majestic presence and proud stance. His fiber has a high curvature and fine micron for elite fiber production. And YES, he produces! Moonlight's first cria was beyond what we had hoped for with his father's conformation and amazing fiber. The crias kept arriving and what a surprise, we have black, bay black and fawn! Who knew he would produce such dark colors with his trademark high frequency crimp and perfect bundles? With over forty cria to his name, we could not be happier with his contribution to our breeding program. Update: Moonlight is limited to two outside breeding as we are currently working to promote his stellar offspring. We do still breed moonlight to some of our elite females.

Description

Mahogany Moon is a wonderful male in all ways. He has a beautiful fleece, a perfect conformation and is a pleasure to work with. He is sire by Snowmass Royal Moonlight, a Legacy, Bueno, Hemingway line male and Marta's Ambrosia, a Peruvian Guellermo line daughter, that has produced many of the top fleeces on our farm. He is conformationally spot on with square proportions and solid bone. He has a true to type huacaya phenotype and a stunning full fleeced head. His fleece has an amazing handle, with consistent crimp, and good fineness. He has density too. He won Judges Choice in the Empire Spin Off, First in Fleece and two seconds and a third in halter. We would have taken him out to Empire in Halter but unfortunately he had injured a back leg and we didn't want to risk it. Personality wise this is an amazing alpaca, he has several top winning ribbons in Performance, including the Junior Championship at Mapaca. He is easy going and just wants to please. Mahogany Moon's first crias are here and we couldn't be happier.
