Just as Jennifer & Ian Lutz took the selection of Man in Black to represent them at the National Elite Auction seriously; Ernie & Barbara made the decision this male was the quality and caliber required to represent their breeding program. This is one special boy! Like many of his paternal siblings Man in Black is unmistakably a son of Champion Fawn Herdsire, CCNF Royal Ring of Fire. With the possible exceptions of Legacy Gold and Archangel no other male in Cas-Cad-Nac has been capable of stamping both their phenotype and fleece characteristics into their offspring with such amazing consistency as Ring of Fire. What is not widely known however is that though Man In Black and his sire before him owe much to the genetic power of Snowmass Royal Rose (MiB's paternal grandsire) and Peruvian Hemingway (MiB's paternal great grandsire)they owe at least an equal debt to Ring of Fire's dynamic dam, 5Peruvian Margarita. It is from his paternal granddam that Man In Black so clearly inherited the head, heavy bone, and unmistakable presence. And that is still only part of the equation! Then there is the matter of the silky black fleece that he inherited from his dam, Victoria. The same fleece qualities that made Victoria a multiple Champion have been passed on to Man In Black as well as his full sibling, Concordia currently on CCNF's show string. Man in Black’s crias starting arriving in August 2010 and like their sire have a beautiful head, heavy bone, with silky fleece. Of the 15 cria born to-date, out of fawn to black dams, all have been black except for one brown. If you are looking for potent, proven genetics in a highly decorated dark colored Herdsire then Man in Black is for you! NEWS UPDATE: Man In Black won the 2011 MAPACA Junior Herdsire of the Year!

Snowmass Apotheosis is the gorgeous 8-time Champion and Get of Sire winning son of Snowmass Matrix Majesty - the 2013 and 2014 Dark Herdsire of the Year. He is a beautiful dark brown male with perfect conformation and extremely fine fleece that carries density, uniformity, brightness and amazing coverage. As the grandson of Snowmass Matrix and Snowmass Legacy Gold, his lineage is stacked with names like Snowmass Quechua, Snowmass Accoyocusani, 4Peruvian Legacy, 5Peruvian Chaccu and PPPeruvian Augusto, and it shows. Snowmass Apotheosis has had several crops of crias born here at Foggy Bottom, and to say that he has been impactful in our breeding program, would be a gross understatement. His offspring are stunning. They are exhibiting the amazing fleece characteristics that the Quechua line has become known for: the combination of elite fineness and uniformity throughout while sacrificing nothing in density.
