Queen of EPD production
Perfection's Blossom of Snow
Alpaca, Huacaya, Open (Female) | White
AOA | DOB: 8/7/2005 (19 yrs)
Sire: Snowmass Perfection
White<--color-->The combination of Legacy and Snowmass Wedding Pacabells makes this herdsire one of our favorites. His lasting fineness is stamped into many, if not all of his offspring. The alpaca industry needs more of Perfection!<--description-->
Dam: PPPeruvian Edelweis
White<--color-->A prominent grand-dam in the alpaca world and one of our favorites!<--description-->
Service Sire: Gem State's Capone_deleted_deleted
<--ari-->White<--color-->Capone is a very well balanced male that has simply gotten better with age. He showed early promise, but was one of those boys we wanted to wait and watch. It was worth the wait.
Capone is a big boned, dense/dense, male that at 3 years of age has maintained an 18.5 micron fleece that is consistent across the body, a 4.1 SD, with a 48.7 curvature and only 0.8% over 30 microns. ALL at 3 years of age!
There is no doubt this excellence comes strongly from his dam, Amalaya. She has been, and continues to be, one of our superior females. Capone's sire is Accoyo America Tempest- at 4 years of age one of the densest males we have witnessed and confirmed by skin biopsy.
The buyer of Capone is not just getting another male. You will be getting our best genetics.
Capone did settle his first female this spring, and for his first we selected on of our other superior females Blossom of Snow. Blossom has produced, among others, our best stud Rocketman.
We believe Capone is one of those hidden gems that an astute breeder will recognize.

Description
Blossom was one of three pregnant female alpacas we purchased from Curt and Nancy Gedney at Hummingherd Alpacas. We knew we loved the look and feel of her, but little did we know she would be EXACTLY what our breeding program is now all about. Sustained fineness through age, high curvature of fleece, and strong lineage. She has definitely been THE foundation of our white herd.
Blossom's 1st and 2nd cria were sired by the same stud- Marco Polo. The fiber was simply elite and rated in the Top 5% in many categories, but they didn't quite meet our standard for Herdsire. Her 3rd cria on the other hand, out of Snowmass Starquest, is simply....incredible. Check out his video from YouTube. Starquest's Rocketman (Rocky to us) is demonstrating an amazingly consistent fleece that is bright, dense, and FINE. After a very successful show career, he is now standing stud at our farm.
Her 2012 cria is an Accoyo America Kashmir daughter who has the potential to be the best female we have produced since 2006. She has her mom (and sire's) fineness, her mom's frame, and her sire's striking density and brightness. Blossom has produced nothing but the highest quality for our farm, which is reflected in her price.
With the decision to sell our herd, Blossom is tough to part ways with. She has been one of a few matriarch dams who have defined our breeding program. Take a look at Rocky and Mira to see her strong offspring that have stayed on our farm. At 10 years of age, she still has more Royal cria in her future. She's always been an incredible mom, with little to no intervention on our part. Truly she is elite.
