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.

We will include AutumnSun's Anvil with the purchase of Silver Peruvian Master Piece. Anvil just took a second place ribbon at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and has great black and grey genetics. It is with great pleasure that we introduce Silver Peruvian Master Piece into our herd. It was to our surprise and fortune that we were able to acquire this spectacular male with an impressive ancestry. He is a son of the acclaimed Peruvian Silvio from Magical Farms, Inc., a renowned grey herdsire. He also has Peruvian Silvino on his dam's side. Silver pulls all that superior grey lineage together to form an incredible package. His farm, ALPACAS of Tualatin Valley, LLC praised Silver by saying: "Silver Peruvian Master Piece is a stunning gray male! He's got it all; a fleece that is fine with good density and excellent coverage, a beautiful head, correct conformation and a compact body style with heavy bone... This gentle male exemplifies everything we desire in a superior herdsire... Most importantly, Master Piece is displaying his strong ability to pass on his sought after genetic material in the offspring he is producing...." Silver is a friendly boy who, even at the age of 11-years-old carries his elite fineness and density. He gets the job done and one breeding is usually all it takes with him. He has a consistent track record of throwing black or grey crias at a rate of 75% and we look forward to seeing what he can produce for us. Let's see what he can do for you, too!
