We have always felt that Snowmass Legacy Gold is one of the most fantastic herdsires we have ever seen. When Tom and Judy Kania agreed to purchase this beautiful Legacy Gold Daughter with us...it was a "no brainer" and we are pleased to co-own her with them. One glance at the micron counts of her crias will tell you what sold us: Son, Royal Accent 1st yr 15.4, 2.8, 18.2, 0.6. 2nd yr 17.9, 3.4, 19.1, 0.8. CURV 55.3 (can you say VICUNA). Daughter, Royal Asset 14.0, 3.7, 26.3, 0.5 CURV 55.4! Her sire Legacy Gold holds the distinction of being the genetic improvement upon his sire, 4Peruvian Legacy, that enabled Snowmass to sell Legacy in the Spring of 2000. LG has won major awards at every level and at every stage of his development including back to back Breed and Color Championships at the 1999 & 2000 Futurity. A proven Herdsire whose cria have likewise excelled on the show circuit (Invincible, Arc Angel to name just two). He truly took our breath away when we saw him...the most show-stopping male we've ever seen. Her dam remains one of the finest and densest production dams in Snowmass' world famous herd. At 6 years old she keeps an AFD of 17.9. No matter whom Velvet Accent has bred to, the fineness and consistency of color and fleece is remarkably ROYAL. Her previous son was exported to Peru's top elite herd with the specific task of helping them bring back the vicuna fineness and characteristics that have been lost due to focus on volume. She is vicuna in her quality of fleece but even better as she adds staple length, brightness, and lack of medulation. She is the epitome of ROYAL ALPACA. Velvet gave us a fantastic son from Snowmass Royal Rose who has already won 4 banners and is breeding! She had an ultrafine brown boy from Snowmass Royal Flush! Bred to Snowmass Porteus, she gave us a fawn girl who looks to be one of Porteus' best yet and one of her best as well! Well she did it again, Velvet gave us a black beauty from Bright Horizon. We could never part with her with these fabulous genetics that she has given us.
