Viola has the best of two worlds. He has a regal and ever-watchful bearing, a large frame, with good, straight conformation, a model temperament, spectacular fleece characteristics, & a Champion lineage to match. His dense fleece is soft, fine and crimpy, with a well-defined lock structure. At the age of 20 months, Viola was ready to start his breeding career, and so, we are expecting his first crop of crias in Spring 2012!! In 2010, he was appraised by both Jude Anderson and Amanda VandenBosch. They said: "This young male has a good head, a well-balanced frame, and a good bite. His fleece displays good staple length, has a very nice handle, and an even medium rose grey blanket." His sire, SNOWMASS PERUVIAN CASANOVA has arguably produced more Champion Offspring than any other Gray Breeding Male in North America! High seller at the 2002 Celebrity Futurity Auction, Casanova was sold for an amazing $147,000! In 2003, Casanova took home the prestigious Futurity Herdsire of the Year honors for his outstanding offspring. In 2005, his son-Snowmass Nova took home the Futurity Dark Herdsire of the Year, and then in early 2006, was sold for a mind-blowing $300,000!!! That was the first time a sire and his progeny have won this prestigious award!! Then, there is Casanova's sire--PERUVIAN BUENO. Bueno's accomplishments and award winning cria are so numerous, it is impossible to list them all. Picked as the #1 choice by three of the country's leading Alpaca breeders, this super Peruvian Macho was the high-selling Alpaca at the 1994 Spring Celebrity Sale. Bueno has also produced more "Get of Sires" than any male in the country - he is simply legendary. On Viola's OTHER side, there is first his dam: PV ROCKFORD'S RHAPSODY, out of AUSSIE ROCKFORD and FABIA OF STAR HILL (out of the top west coast grey herdsire--FANTASY'S GREMLIN & a maroon dam. Her offspring won numerous blue ribbons as well.). In 2008, Rhapsody took a Blue Ribbon in Yearling Grays at the Heart of the Valley in Halter and a 3rd in a competitive class at CABA. Then, there is the famed Silver Gray half-Accoyo AUSSIE ROCKFORD, out of Legendary Accoyo PPERUVIAN FELIX--who was known to throw a wide range of colors and fine fleeces, champions and high selling alpacas--& HANNAHRUH--who's every cria was an award winner or color champion, including the well-known Painted Sky Apres Vous, Aussie Colorado Dillinger, and Aussie Rockford. Aussie Rockford has won ribbons all over the country, in every show he has been in. Of his 186 registered offspring, almost 80% are either black or gray out of dams of varying colors. All of his amazing attributes, he passed onto Viola. As you can see, with this male comes extraordinary potential. What would a Casanova offspring do to enhance your sales list? Thank you Mother Earth Alpacas for choosing Viola for breedings!!

Brooke is beautiful rich colored fawn with a really nice head. Her sire, Fantasy's Champagne Charlie is son of the legendary Sure Shot, who at the age of 3, had a 16.4 micron and a Standard Deviation of 3.6 microns. Not only that, but Sure shot's dam had a micron count of 20.8 at 11 years old! Brooke has thrown 2 gorgeous crimpy, dense fawn-fleeced sons and from our two champion Snowmass herd sires Snowmass Reminiscence and Snow Legend. In 2015 we bred her to our other Snowmass herdsire - Silver Spoon Viola, out of famous Snowmass Casanova and Aussie Rockford and are very proud of the results - a beautiful fawn daughter with the same fine credentials as her brothers! Brooke has a great temperament, is an easy breeder, and is a good mother. Nab her while she's still here!! NOTE: The cut-rate prices of our girls are not a reflection of their quality. We simply need to make room for the new cria coming on this year! Our loss is your gain!!

(Rockford Bay Ranch description) "Guski" is the stunning combination of breeding Hemi-Snowmass Daisy-Sunshine to Rockford Thunderstorm--the stunning son of our late gentle giant-LPS Trujillo, & proud grandson of the Canadian champion, Peruvian Javier. We are excited to see what this mix of genetics, fiber & color will produce in Guski's first shearing in June. Another thing we're looking forward to seeing is whether he has inherited the lingering fineness that comes with his dam: Look at what DAISY'S histograms were (AFD) 16.9 (year 1); 16.3 (year 2); 16.5 (year 3). Her dam-HEMINGWAY'S NAOMI shows the same. (Interestingly, she was boarded for her first 2 years, and evidently she was fed more protein, because look how her AFD drops at her 3rd shearing) 20 (year 1); 21.4 (year 2); 18.7 (year 3); 18.2 (year 5); 19.5 (year 6); and 18.7 (year 7)!!!! Daisy's sire-the award-winning Snowmass Snow Legend had an AFD of whopping 14.4 (year 1); 18.8 (year 3); 20.7 (year 5); & 21.6 (year 8). Her siblings show the same: Love: 17.7 (year 1); 19.8 (year 2); 18.4 (year 3) Reflection: 18.3 (year 1); 17.5 (year 2) Packed jam full of the amazing quality genetics of Hemingway, Snowmaster, Snowmass Incaaccoyo Star, Peruvian Javier, & Acero Marka's Rockamundo, plus his quality fleece characteristics, Guski is the perfect pick to add these rare genetics to your herd. Alpacas4Pets description: Gus is a real character. I imagine he's fairly gentle as males go. Once he settled in to his new farm here, he immediately took the role as protector of the females! He may not be as big, but he is as good as sounding off the alarm as any llama would be. He is alert to whatever I do around the farm to make sure everything is okay for "his herd". He is a joy to watch and a real gentleman with the ladies.
