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.

Ibby, as she is affectionately known on our farm, has been a favorite since she arrived. She is a beauty with a sweet personality to match. She has one of those fleeces that has held its character, crimp and fineness year after year. Her 2008 stats at 5 years of age are AFD 21.6, SD 4.7, CV 21.7 and %>30 4.4. Her fleece is very dense and she has coverage from head to toe. She is a conformationaly very correct alpaca with a very classic haucaya look. She is a lovely addition to any pasture. She currently has a stunning male cria by side that will not be included in her sale. We will repeat the breeding for 2010. Ibby has finally given us the female we have been waiting for! She is now officially retired.

Description

Total Eclipse of the Moon is a stunning example of some of Moonlight's best work. Of course, we have been happy everything mom has made us too! Snowmass Royal Moonlight was one of our original herdsire purchases and he has blessed us with many fine amazing cria. Moonlight is a Royal Rose son out of a Legacy Gold daughter giving him some powerhouse genetics including Hemingway, Bueno and Legacy. His dam is one of our favorite production females out of Acero Marka's Mr. Know it All, famous for producing offspring with fine consistent fleeces. Eclipse has solid conformation with a large bone structure on a compact frame. Judges have commented on how well this male is put together. His fleece is fine and consistent, showing the same structure from head to deep down the leg. His show career has been successful. He routinely placed in the top of the white class in his yearling year taking two seconds and a first in large competitive white classes (Are white classes ever not large and competitive?). He placed 2nd in the only two year class we took him to at Mapaca. As a juvi he was a little on the small side but still place in the front line up. In 2013 we showed him as a mature male at both PAOBA and Empire. He took second at PAOBA to the color champion and first at Empire where he was placed to show against the two year olds. He was TWICE the age of all the rest of the competition and still took the top spot. This just goes to show that he has maintained his fleece as he has aged and is breeding as well. First crias have arrived and we are happy with what we see so far.
