NEWS: SKIN BIOPSY RESULTS COMPLETE Dr. Evans "Albus highest S/P ratio ever tested to date" He has an S/P Ratio of 21.25! We are pleased to announce our partnership with our friends Joanna and Rob Stephens of RobAsia Alpacas. We share ownership is a fantastic young male with amazing potential - RobAsia's Albus. We have been very selective in purchasing breeding males for our herd. For us to purchase a white male meant he had to meet and exceed any of all of our expectations for powerful genetics, excellent fleece characteristics proven with hard data, and great conformational traits. We studied him on paper, looked and fleece samples, and then traveled to Wisconsin to see him in the flesh. We made our decision with no hesitation. Genetics: Albus is sired by Snowmass Quechua's Quest. Quest is an amazing combination of two powerhouse lines in the Snowmass herd, Snowmass Star Quest (Augusto line) and Snowmass Quechua (multiple herdsire of the year). Albus' dam brings just as much to the table with her Snowmass Invincble and Accoyo Caligula in her portfolio. A secret ingredient in Albus is the appearance of arguably, the most influential female in the Snowmass herd, Snowmass Maree Love on both the top and bottom of Albus' pedigree. Fleece: Beautiful! We studied his fleece samples, saw his show fleece from his last shearing, and studied his fleece on body. The hand on Albus' fleece is among the best we have touched. The character and crimp in the fleece is consistent from top of his head to his tail. Check out fiber stats. Awesome histogram on third shearing! Conformation: Albus is upright, straight, and demonstrates strong bone structure. His photos tell the story. Albus now has cria on the ground with our partner farm in Wisconsin - they are reportedly the best cria born at RobAsia. We have confirmed pregnancies here in Texas with the first cria due in early November. He is standing at Blue Gate from November 2015 until May 2016. Limited outside breedings to approved females. Females confirmed bred to Albus available for sale.

Blue Gate Dulce de Leche is a beauty and a genetic treasure for the discerning breeder looking for the best color genetics. Her sire is our now deceased Snowmas Porteus. Porteus was among the best dark colored males ever produced by the storied Snowmass breeding program. One of his sons won AOBA Nationals, and his progeny on our farm are deeply valued. Porteus brings genetics from Snowmass XXXtreme, Snowmass Royal Rose, and Snowmass Casanova to the mix. Dulce de Leche's dam completes the dark color genetic mix with her sire Snowmass Andean Night, a son of Snowmass Andean Bronze. This was an ideal breeding that we would have repeated had we we not lost Porteus to an unfortunate illness. We are fortunate to have her. Her first cria is Blue Gate Cosmos whom we are guarding closely. At 1 year of age his fleece came in at 13 microns! When we learned that our new male Albus was letting the color of the dam pass through to his offspring we jumped at the opportunity to breed Dulce de Leche to Albus. She gave us a lovely male, Atticus. She has be re-bred to Atticus and is due Spring '18. We would love to keep her, but she can be yours if you can talk us out of taking her off the sales list.
