Double "O" Good is proud to announce the purchase of Snowmass Matrix for $675,000 from Julie & Don Skinner. SNOWMASS MATRIX IS THE FINEST FLEECED; HIGHEST CURVATURE QUECHUA SON STANDING IN THE WORLD. Snowmass Matrix is truly one in a million. The fact is this stud has the Premier genetics for high curvature and ultimate fineness. He is a compact robust and well proportioned stud, perfect overall score in frame, bite, body, and reproductive anatomy. He has a fleece that extends its superior qualities over his entire frame. WITH ONLY 11 ENTRIES HE TOOK RESERVE HERDSIRE OF THE YEAR IN US FUTURITY 2008 IN BOTH LIGHT AND COLOR. THE CONSISTENCY OF EXCELLENCE IN HIS PROGENY IS BEYOND REFUTE. Matrix has what we call a Merino x Vicuna style of crimp. He has a bit more organization in the expression of crimp than a true vicuna but a very high frequency of crimp indicative in the vicuna qualities. Most importantly this stud exhibits an extreme fineness, brightness, and consistency of fineness which is seen in the extension into extremities(hip, belly, shoulder neck and head). He has held these qualities as he has aged which is exactly what we are looking and breeding for.

Description

Previous owner's description: Snowmass Matrix Principe is just an all around spectacular guy! He is the son of Snowmass Matrix, famous son of Snowmass Quechua. We absolutely love what Principe brings to our breeding program. He is a handsome compact male, with great balance, strong bone and fine, dense fleece everywhere! His amazing pedigree lists the top of the pyramid males generation upon generation, with Matrix, Quechua, 4Peruvian Legacy, Hemingway, and Cahuide on his paternal side. His dam also has her bragging rights coming from Felix and Bueno combination from the elite Maple Brook breeding program. You can see from the pictures he has impeccable good looks. Get into his fleece and you will want to sink your hands in there and never let go! We worked with Julie Skinner on finding a male that would take our breeding program to the next level above the great males we already have in our program. We were looking for genetic and fleece combinations they have had great success with in their breeding program. After looking at several outstanding potential males, we couldn't resist Principe. Julie stated Principe is the very finest of Matrix sons and is also very dense like his sire. Discussing a male to put over our Royal Challanger son, Snowmass Golden Victory, Julie said "The Royal Challenger lines with Matrix are our very best!" We can't wait to see this combination come together in our breeding program! Check out Principe's histograms and you will see extreme fineness in color that is maintaining very nicely. Principe has volumes of fleece in coverage and staple and density. What more do you need to know to give this guy a date with your girls? Principe's cria display significant improvement in fleece from their dams, extreme brightness and beautiful hand.
