Double "O" Good is proud to announce the purchase of Snowmass Matrix for $675,000 from Julie & Don Skinner. SNOWMASS MATRIX IS THE FINEST FLEECED; HIGHEST CURVATURE QUECHUA SON STANDING IN THE WORLD. Snowmass Matrix is truly one in a million. The fact is this stud has the Premier genetics for high curvature and ultimate fineness. He is a compact robust and well proportioned stud, perfect overall score in frame, bite, body, and reproductive anatomy. He has a fleece that extends its superior qualities over his entire frame. WITH ONLY 11 ENTRIES HE TOOK RESERVE HERDSIRE OF THE YEAR IN US FUTURITY 2008 IN BOTH LIGHT AND COLOR. THE CONSISTENCY OF EXCELLENCE IN HIS PROGENY IS BEYOND REFUTE. Matrix has what we call a Merino x Vicuna style of crimp. He has a bit more organization in the expression of crimp than a true vicuna but a very high frequency of crimp indicative in the vicuna qualities. Most importantly this stud exhibits an extreme fineness, brightness, and consistency of fineness which is seen in the extension into extremities(hip, belly, shoulder neck and head). He has held these qualities as he has aged which is exactly what we are looking and breeding for.

First Argo Cria due any day now, so excited They have arrived 1 male 1 female both black!!!! We couldn't be more thrilled We have listed Argo for sale as we have a bunch of his crias expected this spring, and being a very small farm, who's main focus isn't black, he needs to go to a farm where he will get more work EIGHT SHOWS....EIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP RIBBONS!!! Both Sara Jane and Ken Hibbits pulled him out of the line up in consideration for supreme, just an outstanding male we have here. Resolute does it again, another black out of our white herdsire Res, and what a black he is. They don't come along very often like this, we knew Guin could throw colour but we were not expecting black! He is little, but he is solid, nice head, broad chest, boxy frame,this little man has a bright future ahead of him. We are anxious to get Argo breeding and will be offering a couple outside breedings this summer, if you are interested drop us a line.
