His crias are phenomenal. Championing at Nationals, winning at Futurity and in your pasture with blankets consistent to the belly and fantastic fleece and body! Snowmass Alpacas descibed him well, so here are their words: "Named after the best Port we have ever tasted… And a toast to the very best XXXTREME production son ever to be born. The entire Alpaca breeding world knows who Snowmass XXXtreme is after taking herdsire of the year 2 years running 2006 & 2007. This particular son, Snowmass Porteus was the Ultimate reason why. Porteus in our opinion is the ULTIMATE™ in COLORED ALPACA production and why he has been staged in the Snowmass publication of The Making of Champions Part II as having the ultimate colored alpaca fleece.(A LONG, FINE, XXXtremely BRIGHT, staple and incredibly consistent through the entire body, from head to chest to toe) Snowmass Porteus simply stated has the “LOOK”, strong, upstanding, and extremely well balanced in his frame added to his ELITE FIBER he has INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL to raise the bar in ALPACA COLOR FIBER. Snowmass Porteus, as well his sire, has taken our COLOR breeding program to the top level of SUPERIORITY equal to the most ELITE whites. Porteus was shown at the highest level show, The Futurity, and took first place both as a Juvenile and Yearling and moved victoriously into the CHAMPION CIRCLE. Many Juveniles place well the first year but the real test is if they can stand in the same position the next year. Nothing about him has wavered in fleece and or body in his maturity. His 1st yr AFD of 15.1 and 2nd year of 16.5. HE IS THE ULTIMATE™..." Sadly, Porteus passed away in late Summer 2010. We miss him. He left us with a few spectacular offspring, a young herdsire or two, and a few in-utero that we anxiously await. The Porteus offspring will become the backbone of our breeding programs for years to come. We share our loss with our outstanding partners at Dusty Creek Ranch and Blue Gate Alpacas.

Description

We just LOVE Prestige, she's everything we could have asked for! She's given us 3 girls in a row, but we certainly wouldn't mind a boy. She created rose grey Premier's Absolute, who is known nationally as one of the top grey males in the country and who Julie Skinner praised. He sold for $150,000 at the Futurity. Her list of Champion and Blue ribbon winning offspring is long. She produces fineness and consistency that, like her own, is maintained into maturity. This is the quality Reiling Ranch is striving to replicate across their herd and so pleased that Premier helped us take another step toward achieving our goal. Her sire is the renowned Don Julio from the first Peruvian import. He was proclaimed at his first show as the closest thing to the perfect alpaca. He put his stamp on fine offspring before leaving the US. Her dam is one of the most cherished at Cas-Cad-Nac producing a champion line for them. Prestige has a nice head with excellent depth of jaw and maintains a perfect bite at 12 years of age. She has heavy bone that she passes along to her offspring. Her fiber is extremely dense and still shows nice character. Even in her older age, she maintains a fineness comparable to most yearlings. Her offspring have all had good consistent crimp, fineness, and density. Prestige gave us another girl! Black from Snowmass Porteus. She is incredible! Took a blue in her first show! We believe that the dam contributes at least 50% of the genetics, so we try to maintain the best foundation girls we can. Next we have a stunning white male from Prestige and Porteus who we can't wait to get in the ring. He is very dense and consistent in crimp. He also has the spectacular "silky" fleece that Snowmass has pioneered. We are so excited to get a "silky" and the fact that he's a boy is a bonus because he will be a huge assest to anyone's breeding program.
