Patriot is a well rounded Matrix son that is displaying all of the attributes of his predecessors. - Pedigree. Snowmass Matrix, Patriot's sire, should need little introduction as the highest selling male of all time. On the dam's side, we added the lines of Royal Rose, Snowmaster, and Chaccu. Simply put this pedigree is made up of the most sought after genetics in the industry. - Histogram. The consistency both in micron and character throughout the entire body is stunning. His first histogram is right where we want our yearlings to be; not only displaying a very low micron, but uniformity and suppression of guard hair. Patriot's 2011 fiber report: AFD- 15.1, SD- 3.2, CV- 21.1, %>30- 0.3, SF- 14.7, CF- 99.7, Curve- 58.3. Update: Combine this histogram information with the most recent (2012) EPD data reporting: Top 2% Curve Top 10% AFD, SD, and Spin Fineness If you are looking to improve phenotype and substance of bone, infuse fineness and character, improve density, not to mention adding proven genetics, then Patriot is a male to seriously consider.

Velvet is a beautiful young well mannered maiden criated by our great friends, Len and Leanna Smith of Meadowlake Ridge Alpacas. I love her sweet face which is passed along by her dam, Sunshine. All cria and grand cria from Sunshine share that same sweet face. You can spot a sunshine descendant from a mile away. They all share the very fine uniform high frequency crimped fleece. They are very vicuna like in their fleece and phenotype. I've always thought Sunshine had a bit of vicuna in her through her dam, Esperanza. Velvet is no exception. She has a lovely fine high frequency low amplitude crimp as you can see in the photo. It's a very even golden colored fleece. This is a great girl! :) We have bred our sweet velvet to CHAPS! That's going to be one awesome baby! Velvet delivered a 25 pound beautiful female on 7/25! She has almost the exact same markings as her daddy! She has very beautiful fleece! This is a 3-4-1 package. Includes Ditto and a rebreed to Matrix's Patriot!
