Looking for a serious female for a serious color program? This gal might just be your ticket. Shenandoah Treasure represents a very rare, very valuable find for colored alpaca breeders, as she is one of less than thirty offspring of Snowmass Rising Sun. Rising Sun was one of only a dozen offspring of Quechua's Rising Son, a Snowmass Quechua son who was 3/4 brother to Snowmass Elite Legend, to have been born in the USA. Quechua's Rising Son was exported to New Zealand, and Rising Sun was his only son sold by Snowmass to an outside farm. Snowmass Rising Sun was listed on Double O Good's "Herdsire Hall of Fame," and his breedings restricted, before he was lost abruptly at the age of four. He produced less than twenty daughters, and Treasure is one of them. Treasure should be of particular appeal to grey breeders, as her dam, ELK Peruvian Lucrezia, is a dark silver (roan) grey -- and it appears that Treasure inherited this gene, as her 2016 daughter by Snowmass Kahuna Sunrise is a dark roan rose grey. Treasure is a tall, elegant, stately female with great presence and a beautiful headstyle. She has good bone substance and conformation. At present, she has lost much of her coverage to a hot southern summer and standing in the water bowls, but this should grow back with time -- she certainly had it once! Treasure's fleece is, as is befitting her lineage, extremely dense. She has good apparent fineness and uniformity and a high-frequency crimp style. A proven dam, Treasure has been an excellent mother to her beautiful 2016 cria. This cria is a great example of her production capabilities, as she is typey, correct, and very, very fine with excellent fleece character. We are tentatively keeping Treasure's 2016 cria, but have elected to list Treasure for sale. OMG. Treasure's 2017 cria was born last night -- last one of the year -- and she is absolutely spectacular. She has everything: Bone, coverage, head, and an unbelievably dense fleece with ridiculous crimp at hours old. Oh, and she's a tuxedo rose grey. We are definitely keeping this one, and I do believe that breeding is getting repeated. (Oh, and her sire just got bumped up several notches on our stud row. Yes, she's that good!) Treasure's price has been adjusted to reflect the fact that both of her cria grew somewhat slowly. Both were born into rough environmental conditions -- one in the heat of summer in VA; the other into a brutal winter in NH -- so we aren't writing her off just yet; however, she is being sold "as is," so to speak, with full disclosure of this fact.

Description

Sunrise is a girl with a huge amount of potential. Her lineage hails almost entirely from the renowned Snowmass program, with Snowmass Kahuna Sunrise, a 15x champion, as her sire and Double O Good hall of famer Snowmass Rising Sun as her dam sire. The depth of pedigree that Sunrise displays is impressive, and represents an excellent study in carefully applied line-breeding. Sunrise boasts the legendary Snowmass Quechua twice on her ARI paper, but the careful use of line-breeding to "lock in" genetic excellence does not end there. Reviewed further out, Sunrise counts impact sire Hemingway 5x in her lineage; impact sires 6P Accoyo Elite, Augusto, and Vengador twice each; 5P Chaccu 3x; and impact dam Peruvian Lilly 3x. The deliberate "stacking" of impact ancestors in this fashion is common in other livestock species, and is used to achieve breeding consistency within a bloodline -- something that the most elite alpaca breeding programs have realized for years now. Juxtaposed against this breeding strategy, however, Sunrise also stands out for her tail line, which represents an outcross to all of the above ancestors and which imparts perhaps her most valuable asset: color. Her great granddam, 6P Night Jewel, was a true black from the renowned 1998 import. Her daughter, Peruvian Lucrezia, is a modern grey who evidently passed the gene to Sunrise's dam, Shenandoah Treasure. Though Treasure (also on our farm) is not a grey herself, she appears to have given it to Sunrise, courtesy of her own dam. The result of all of this careful breeding is a compact, super-typey, very correct female. As is to be expected from her lineage, Sunrise's greatest asset is her fleece: very fine and uniform, with an excellent hand and a lovely high-frequency, high-amplitude crimp style. It is a beautiful fleece, and even nicer given her deep, dark rose grey color. We are holding onto Sunrise for now ... This girl is starting to look NICE!
