Mountain Sky Ranch is proud to present Snowmass Matrix Belvedere. Belvedere is a gorgeous beige male with incredible fleece. His fiber is ultra fine and crimp covers his body from head to toe. His mean curvature measures an outstanding 67.2% with only 0.4% of his fibers greater than 30 microns. Equally impressive, his histogram from 2016 is almost identical to his 2010 numbers. His sire is Snowmass Matrix, the highest selling alpaca at auction and producer of many winning progeny. His dam, Snowmass Bright Stars, is a multiple Produce of Dam winner who is consistently producing show winning cria. UPDATE: Snowmass Matrix Belvedere does it again, winning Judge's Choice at the 2016 CABA Fleece show. He also brought home the Spirit of the Industry award at both GWAS and CABA in 2016. Be watching for his amazing cria at the 2017 shows. Belvedere is awarded the Judge's Choice at the 2014 AOA National & World Fleece Show! This boy's fleece just keeps getting better and better. Belvedere also won the Light Halter Color Championship AND the Light Fleece Reserve Color Championship at the 2013 AOBA National Show. Belvedere began his show career with a second place finish in a very competitive class at the 2010 GWAS at only 7 months of age. As he has aged, he is consistently winning in the show ring with multiple show championships to his name, including the 2011 GWAS Color Champion as a yearling. Belvedere has several crias on the ground now and they are everything we could hope for. They are producing fleeces that are fine and bright. Many of them are colored. Several have already won banners of their own. We are excited about the future for this proven herd sire. Rave reviews of his offspring's fleeces at the 2018 Commercial Sort - brightest fleeces seen with exceptional fineness! For more info visit SnowmassMatrixBelvedere.com

Full Peruvian, with champions in his bloodlines that make you take a second look -- yes, that is the now deceased multiple champion true black Knight Ryder who showed who took the ring by storm in his day. And Shades of Silver is the champion son of the notable champion Legend's Peruvian Revelation by KPR. This pedigree is definitely 'name dropping' if you are interested in champion black and grey. In his showing he often stood second to Val d'Sere, the legendary many times color champion and judge's choice winner. And during the color champion, though the CCNF male took reserve (after Val d'Sere took CC, of course), we got several 2nd glances by the judge when Axios moved up to the front row for consideration. Axios, for his first breeding year, bred to our Sparrow Lark (who had made a lovely TB female by our multiple champion black herdsire), produced a fantastic deep brown boy last year and a mirrored girl this year. Both are beautiful. His 2019 boy, Shakespeare, is still available as we ramp back up into show mode after the year of Covid-19 restrictions, and his 2020 girl was sold at her dam's side. In 2021, Axios made three beautiful female and one male crias for us! He throws color! Sweet Carolina is a well grown BG out of (LF) Aika; no fault to him as Aika is resisting putting out dark. Divine Glamour is a luxurious BB out of our MF Divine Lady, and Oraine is a glowing MB out of our champion white Danica. He also made a spectacular bay black male out of a our MF dam, Carnaval who unfortunately had an ear infection as a young cria that affected our ability to show him. So, the girls, Glamour and Oraine, had to represent Axios alone - both garnering banners! We are more than proud. He is closed to outside breedings but will be available as a service sire to sold dams from Autumn Sun Alpacas.
