The legendary grey herdsire, Snowmass Enlightenment, is bringing his power packed genetics to the West Coast! "Enlightenment is the most significant grey stud we've ever produced." -- Snowmass Alpacas "Best male in the show. This stunning male combines perfect conformation and magnificent fleece. He is the 'Total Package'." -- Kentucky Classic Judge "If you could put all the best performing, most unique blend of genetics into one stud for the most advanced color breeding program...that is exactly what Snowmass did and the result is nothing short of magnificent!" -- Prior Owner "If we could have a Royal grey line of alpacas, Enlightenment is what it would take to get us there!" -- Julie Skinner His selling at the 2009 Futurity Auction by Snowmass was "...a true commitment to keep him in the breeding pool of Elite grey males in the USA as [we] slowly move out of breeding for grey." -- Snowmass Alpacas Snowmass Enlightenment, a multi-champion, is the product of generations of superior genetic development. Follow up his line to his multi-champion sire and 2X Futurity Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass XXXtreme, who was sired by multi-champion Snowmass Royal Rose, who was in turn sired by the incomparable Peruvian Hemingway. And lest we forget his dam, Snowmass Silver Star, sired by Snowmass Casanova, who was sired by Peruvian Bueno, brings rich grey and color genetics herself. In 2009, Enlightenment won the AOBA Reserve Color Championship at 54 months just after taking a Championship at the Kentucky Classic Show. He was the highest selling alpaca at the 2009 Futurity Auction, taking in over double the price of the next closest male. Enlightenment has produced a multitude of champion offspring in all colors, starting with his 2nd cria, Snowmass Enlightened - a rose grey 12X Champion who has gone on to be a great herdsire in his own right. A female cria, KBA Enlightened, went on to win 10 Championships and produce the top selling grey at the 2015 Parade of Champions Auction (for $47,500). He's produced champion offspring in every year since he started breeding (see photos to right). Some recent shows/sales for his offspring: -- 2013 MAPACA Jubilee - 2 of the 6 Judge's Choice entries were Enlightenment offspring -- 2014 AOA National Auction - an Enlightenment female was 4th highest seller and won a championship at the show (to go along with her 4 other banners) -- 2015 Parade of Champions Auction - an Enlightenment grandson was the highest selling full-interest alpaca This herdsire is one of the few grey males to come on the scene and make everyone's head turn. He's that good. Contact us for your opportunity to make Enlightenment's incredible genetics work to improve your color/grey program. Enlightenment is co-owned by Epic Alpacas, Morning Beckons, and Providence Alpacas. His cria are now hitting the ground at Epic Alpacas and the fleeces are spectacular: fine, bright, dense and tons of crimp! We love this guy!

MYSTIC ~ "INSPIRING A SENSE OF MYSTERY AND WONDER" that definition perfectly describes this beautiful female that draws attention from all who see her! Mys-Tic is a blend of a True Black mother and a Light Rose Grey father with lots of Grey in her background. She has a lot of presence with captivating dark eyes, and along with her dark rose coloring is a frosting of grey throughout her neck, blanket and on her legs. Her sire is the well-known McGinnis a "producer of champions that brings genetics from both Hemingway and Augusto lines to pass on to his champion and award winning cria. His first 10 cria have won over 6 champion banners and 19 ribbons!" Load on the Grey - Mys-Tic's maternal grandfather is Medium Rose Grey Color Champion Busterius Rex. Busterius Rex is out of a Silver dam and a Medium Rose Grey sire (Son of Mr. Know It All). On August 1, 2015 Mys-tic had a 22.2 lb tux rose grey boy, Methos, out of multi ribbon winning medium rose grey Alpha Omega's Prometheus. Prometheus is very dense and exhibits crimp that could be compared to an exceptional white! Grey Genetics are the bomb: MFI Scimitar, Dom Timbo, The Silversmith and let's throw in some Accoyo~Peruvian Accoyo Felix and Accoyo Leon! Methos has gone on to become a multi-blue ribbon winner with exceptional fleece. On September 10, 2016, Mys-tic had a gorgeous tux rose grey boy, Montesquieu, out of Snowmass Enlightenment. Montesquieu already has amazing fleece! In 2018, Mys-tic did it again with another fantastic tux grey boy, Montrose! This one was from the pairing with 2X National Champion, Crescent Moon's Wilkinson. Montrose went on to win a banner in his first show and looks to continue doing so in the future! And not to be outdone by her 2018 cria, in early 2020 Mys-tic gave us a second tux grey boy out of a paring with Wilkinson. This dark silver grey boy is every bit the looker of his older brothers! Mys-tic is a great mom with lots of milk and continues to be one of our top producing females. She's what we call a "stud female".
