Here is Snowmass Black Passion--one of the newest additions to Black Forest Alpacas outstanding breeding program and line-ups of superb herdsires! His sire Snowmass Casanova's Avalon was sold by Julie Skinner to breeders in the UK. Black Passion's dam is SA BLACK APPASSIONATA, is a Black Magic daughter. Take a look at his fleece numbers! We bred him to Futurity and the result is STUNNING!! They produced Black Forest's Maserati, she is a true black alpaca with extremely fine and bright fleece. We have seven confirmed ultrasounds for 2011 delivery. Time to line up limited outside breedings to Black Passion for 2011. Where can you find a top-notch Snowmass male that you can breed to for $1250? Answer: Black Forest Alpacas!

Here is a really nice true black Full Peruvian female destined to produce high quality offspring. She took 5th place at 2006 AlpacaFest. Histogram in April 2007 shows a MC of 25.5 and CV of 23.5. Futurity produced 3.5lbs of prime blanket fleece in 2007. She was bred to Crescent Moon's Equilizer, sired by Snowmass Black n' Gold and mother is a Legacy daughter, for an awesome cria in 2008! Snowmass Black n' Gold took 2nd place at the 2003 AOBA Nationals. Equilizer has also done well with a Reserve Color Championship, two 1st places, two 2nd places, and two 3rd places! Futurity is a great foundation female looking for true black or silver/rose gray Peruvian bloodlines. Futurity delivered a black female that weighed over 20 lbs on 5 August 2008, Blackforest's Olympia. Olympia sold to a local farm before she was even weaned. She produced an awesome dark brown male in 2009. This little guy is one of the nicest male crias born at Black Forest Alpacas. Futurity was bred to Snowmass Black Passion. On Sep 2, 2010, Futurity delivered an awesome black female, appropriately named, Maserati -- yes she is that special! We are very excited about this beautiful girl!! We really liked her so we repeated the breeding to Snowmass Black Passion, and this time they produced another black female, Blackforest's Minuet. In 2012, we bred Futurity to award winning Black Forest's Great Smoky. The gave us a beautiful girl, Shavann. Shavann got a first place at the AOBA National Show in 2013. If you are interested in getting more information about Futurity, please give us a call!! We do have financing available as well as discounts for multiple animal purchases!!

At Autumn Sun Alpacas, we know that is no secret that this true black herdsire is an all-around package that you will want to cover any dam, light or dark colored! Secret is a black that had no fading at his tips or interspersed white fibers when he was showing (he's getting a few 'old man' white hairs now). This isn't surprising with a lineage that includes notable black sires like Othello, recently deceased, and Snowmass Nova's Dark Quest. With his distinctive head and leg coverage, along with his inky black fiber, many stopped and stared at Secret the ring. And worthy of that attention, his fiber has extreme density, bright shine, bundled crimp, and soft handle. These are traits that you want to add or amplify in your breeding program! This is obvious in the 10x champion true black son, AutumnSun's Black Maelstrom. We were fortunate to have had our program benefit from such an exceptional offspring, especially as he was just one of only a few we have performed to Secret! We have the fortune of several excellent herdsires, including grey and black, so Secret has had to be patient. And, Maelstrom is just as a precocious stud just as his sire, as both started breeding under 2 years old. Father and son both breed black well into our program. As our Secret is getting up there in years and we we don't want to overtax him (he is still breeding for us), we are closing him to outside breedings.
