MASTER OF HERDSIRES: Every livestock breed has the one Stud that surpasses all others-- not just in looks but in every element of excellence that defines the breed. In the alpaca, this element is primarily the fleece: Fineness of micron - Brightness and soft handle - good staple length - curvature - density with low primary fiber production, and most importantly, UNIFORMITY of all these traits. Snowmass Elite Legend possesses these qualities and continues to produce them year after year in his offspring. The other element that distinguishes a stud above others is perfect conformation--including the ideal head. Snowmass Elite Legend possesses every element we desire. He was used almost exclusively over Snowmass’ white females because of his excellence and purity in clear bright white genetics. They rarely used him over colors as they have been trying to selectively breed for prediction of solid color. As time went on, they decided to breed Elite Legend to a few of their strong colored females. The outcome was so remarkable that they realized the importance of bringing him into their color breeding program on a strategic level. Snowmass Elite Legend has graced many of the North American Alpaca breeding programs with his progeny. One after another carries on his vital excellence passing on the fleece characteristics we need to bring the North American Alpaca Industry to the heights of the finest alpaca fiber producers. Aside from his accolades in shows, Elite Legend's fiber production across his progeny is the most valued element of his success. Snowmass Alpacas has proudly said that Snowmass Elite Legend is the most distinguished White Huacaya Stud standing in the WORLD. Tierra Prometida Alpacas is proud to announce that we now co-own Snowmass Elite Legend with Cas Cad Nac Farm. Though he is not being offered for outside stud service, Elite Legend will be in Texas at Tierra Prometida Alpacas and his genetics are available through the purchase of females bred to him and through the purchase of his offspring.

Bernadette is one of my favorites (but don't tell her, because it is bad luck to have a favorite!) Many people have commented that she looks remarkably like Poseidon, and she does. She is absolutely stunning with a show record to match! She has remarkable conformation and gorgeous coverage with a beautiful, true to type head. Her fleece exhibits many elite characteristics....including density, fineness, crimp, bundling and shine. She has minimal guard fibers and has been a wonderful mother. She gave us 3 gorgeous crias out of Poseidon. Here is your chance to acquire a gorgeous championship winning female who is also a producer of multiple champions. When bred to our 29x Champion TP Poseidon's Motivator, she produced another 3 knockout cria. This year, bred to the incomparable Snowmass Elite Legend, she produced a beautiful little female cria.

TP Jubilee's Charisma is a stunning overall male! He carries a bright, soft fleece and has the combination of fineness and density that we have been seeking. He also has beautiful conformation and style. He IS the complete package! His genetics are a combination of Caligula's Accoyo Poseidon, Vaccoyo's Triumph, and TP Matrix Jubilee, a direct son of Snowmass Matrix. His EPD's are excellent across the board....all of them better than 10th percentile. Charisma skin BX “TP Jubilee’s Charisma” was biopsied as a 27 month old white huacaya male with ARI#32547054. Her BCS is 7/10 and weight 138.2 lbs. His medium FS is 1.5 of 3. His 15X scan demonstrates fiber clusters very uniform in size, shape and placement within her connective tissue. His true adjusted density based on BCS measures 104.6 follicles SQ MM of skin and his average S/P ratio based on 25 typical fiber clusters is 11.3 to 1. Note from all scans that less than 15% of his secondary fibers show some level of medullation (red dots). He shows level 4 of 4 gland presence. One hundred secondary fibers averaged 18.3 microns and 50 primary fibers averaged 23.1 microns for a variation of only 4.8 microns. The above stats figure this 27 month old with above average BCS (7/10) AFD at 18.72 microns. Fantastic fiber stats that may even be a bit blown because of BCS. His cria are on the ground and they are consistently stunning! We are proud to co-own Charisma with Rancho Inca Alpacas!
