Here at Tierra Prometida Alpacas, we are thrilled to have Snowmass Touche' in our herdsire line-up. We have been looking for a long time for a males who can geneticallly and phenotypically complement our herd. We were looking for a male that we could breed to our Elite White females and to our colored production females. In essence, we were looking for a male with Elite Fleece Characteristics--especially with his combination of Density, Fineness, Brightness, and excellent staple formation. He is the PERFECT MALE to fit our needs! He is INCREDIBLY DENSE exquisitely FINE and has one of the most advanced fleeces with remarkable consistency from head to toe. And he is a compact and typey male who has correct conformation and bite. Snowmass Touche is truly one of the finest, densest, elite white fleece studs out of the Snowmass Breeding program. He was designed to go over both Elite white and Color production Dams. He has a very unique genetic line up which includes the superior line of Snowmass Maree Love --the Dam to Snowmass QUECHUA and Snowmass INVINCIBLE, Touche's Sire. The unique and white Elite element to Touche is his Dam, Snowmass Olay--she is the only Sollocota - Allianza line with her fineness in the Snowmass herd. Here at Tierra Prometida Alpacas, we have had some of our best cria out of this male and it is no surprise when you consider his EPD's One of the characteristics that he transmits the most effectively is STRUCTURE. In addition to evaluating and validating his conformation and fleece in the show ring, we have done histograms on his fleeces every year. We also did a skin biopsy on him this spring and at 7 years of age, not only has his fleece been amazing in the past, but the current traits he is exhibiting are still remarkable. AND his EPD's demonstrate that he will consistently and reliably pass those traits on to his offspring. Tierra Prometida’s “Snowmass Touche” was biopsied as a 7 year old white huacaya male with ARI#30408753. His 15X scan demonstrates large fiber clusters very uniform in size and placement. This trait was likely passed from his dam. His density is 76.75 follicles SQ MM of skin and his average S/P ratio based on 25 fiber clusters is 12.0 to 1.

Lilibet is full Peruvian with beautiful crimpy fleece and great density that she passes down to her offspring. She produced a lovely fawn female named Stewart's Helen of Troy out of Xanadu P Placido born in May 05. Placido is a Caligula grandson. We took Helen to TxOLAN 2006 and she won 2nd place, a 5th place at GWAS in the light fawn juvenile female class, and a 4th place at Fall Fest. Lilibet's cria from 2006 is Blackforest's Corona I. He is a very dense, outstanding crimp, beige male that just produced his first cria this year--very nice little female. He is a superb herdsire priced very reasonably and his trademark is fineness. Lilibet's cria from 2007 is Blackforest's Prince Charming out of Reykjavik. He is very nice and has done the best of all our male crias raised at Black Forest Alpacas. He has won 3 First Place ribbons and a Reserve Color Championship at TxOLAN 2008. Lilibet is one of those steady, solid producing foundation females that can produce superb offspring no matter who she is bred to. PRINCE CHARMING won 1st at A-OK Blastoff 08 and 1st AND RESERVE COLOR CHAMPION at TxOLAN 08. He also won a very large and competitive LF juvenile male class at GWAS 08. That's his 3rd blue ribbon. Nice job Lilibet!! Reykjavik gets a little credit, also. Lilibet delivered a very nice, extremely crimpy beige male out of Jules in June 2008, Grand Teton. Call us today and purchase this A+ foundation breeding female, Lilibet OR one of several superb offspring that we have to offer!! She was bred to Snowmass Touche'. On 5 Jun 11 she delivered a very cute beige male with "Out of this World" fleece--We named him Motivator's Encore of Blackforest! In 2012, she and Motivator produced Blackforest's Delany. In 2013, she delivered another girl, Aurora of Blackforest.
