Now Co-Owned with Jay & Melissa Reeder of Apple Mountain Alpacas in GA! Contact party to discuss owning this elite male - we will most likely be open to sale discussions 2021. IF you're lucky enough to have a Snowmass Elite Legend son, then you're lucky enough.... but we are proud to say that we have an Elite Legend son WITH EPDs in TOP 1% in SDAFD and SF, TOP 2% AFD, TOP 5% in %>30, Top 5% in Mean Curve and Top 5% in % Medulation, Top 4% in Fleece Weight and Top 8% in MSL! He is clearly a leader in all traits... But do take a look at the EPDs you can expect Quech22 to bring to your breeding program - We're thrilled with the Value numbers. At AOA National fleece show 7/16/18 - Quech 22 took 2nd place behind Snowmass Loro Piana, placing above his sire Elite Legend. Quech then fetched First Place the next month at PAOBA’s fleece show in mature males, again placing above his sire, Elite Legend Quech 22's extremely bright fleece at age 4 comes in with an AFD of 16.6, SD 3.1, 18.5 CV and %>30 was a mere 0.3%. AT AGE 4. Yes, we're serious. Quech has a unique fleece character. It first appeared long and 'drapey' instead of a more densely packed fleece as a yearling. He had an exceptionally bright fleece that was easily considered somewhat of a 'silky'. We don't mind if that isn't exactly what the show ring awards for....we know this male has the genetics and proven fleece traits himself to take our fiber growing goals into the next generation of alpaca farming - where consistant fleeces meet the textile industry standards, and are predictable for uniformity and lasting fineness, and staple length. Into adulthood, Quech 22 has a denser handle to his fleece and great shear weights. Conformation is exceptional with a solid frame, very full coverage down to his toes and still that typey head. We've used him specifically for fleece traits here, but also for improving coverage and conformation traits in breeding females. He is a 'go to' breeder that packs a lot of improvement possibilities into the pairings. Quech was put into production here at the end of 2016, and that first cria (female out of Hummingherd’s Delara named Spitz & Giggles) hit the ground 11/2017. He now has offspring in the CA, AZ, and in Georgia on the ground... 80% female and all brilliant bright white except a dark fawn from a brown dam. Astute breeders please contact Wendy at Peaceful Prairie Ranch (West) 928.848.0267) or Jay Reeder at Apple Mountain Alpacas (East) to schedule your breedings to this Male - ‘the Quech of a lifetime’!

Congratulations to Charlene and Don of Integrity Alpacas & Fiber for their purchase of Delaria! Delaria is now a proven Breeder, having given birth to her white female cria ‘Spitz & Giggles’ November 2017. Daughter Spitz & Giggles is just phenomenal, as we expected putting our densest female with our stud Hummingherd’s Quech 22 - who is a Snowmass Elite Legend son who has fineness and extreme uniformity well into adulthood. Delaria ended her show career on a high note: she took a first place at AOA Nationals 2017- while a small show class, she was noted for the density and uniformity she carries. In 2016, after grabbing 2nd Place and RESERVE CC at Calpaca's Gold Country Gathering Oct 2016 (under our own Rafael who was awarded 1st place and CC), Delaria just took 4th Place at ABR's Fall Fest Fleece Show! Tough competition there...we're thrilled! We’ll be perfectly happy to keep Delaria and never sell her, as we see her as an up-n-coming seed stock producer due to her extreme density and character of fleece. It is exactly what the industry’s forward thinking breeders are breeding for and we're thrilled with the fiber that is just absolutely packed on her. We usually give accolades to the sire who passed density, and her sire Hummingherd’s Levi’s 501 certainly did that! Additionally, this gal's dam ‘Delight’ is the densest female on our ranch, and well known for offspring with follicle density's at the top of the charts! (See Delaria’s half brother ‘Run-A-Tab's listing) Standing solid on a well balanced frame, she is a female that combines the hard-to-reach goal of fineness AND density WITH character that we're striving towards. Delaria is the whole package! When put into production at age 2 she conceived on first breeding with out Elite Legend boy, Hummingherd's Quech 22 and has been a great first time mom. Her cria is the most brilliant white and exceptional. For the ‘icing on the cake’ here Delaria has the EPDs showing TOP 1% in MC (#280 of 42,559), then she ranks top 3% Fleece Weight and Top 4% in Medulation. For SDAFD she is in the top 10.45% and follows within top 25% of the 42K Females in the EPD Datatbase for AFD, Spin Fineness and %>30. She is therefore a leading production dam now that will further your program into production of future generations of TRAIT LEADERS in our industry. Delaria's fleece comes off in perfect pure bright white that is absolutely stunning with density and a crimpy structure in her fleece with retained fineness. With a predictable lineage of solid white, she will easily bring any owner into the new (and competitive) textile industry requirements with the best return for your investment. As a particularly dense female, she will certainly bring more than most females to the breeding equation.
