Fox is going on 17 and acts like he's 10. If you want better fineness EPDs and uniform, fine, pigmented gray fleeces with lots of crimps per inch and essentially no guard hair, he's the one! This line produces lingering 13 to 19 micron pigmented gray fleeces...consistently. Fox's first five fleeces were combined into one lot to make yarn at Heart and Soul and they commented on the uniformity of the lot. Thanks to his sire, Royal Bronze, Fox is a master at overall uniformity, removing guard hair and fining down fleeces and adding more crimps per inch, good staple length, along with deep and vivid colors. He's a SILVER GRAY, SNOWMASS BRED, AOBA NATIONAL COMPOSITE CHAMPION and well proven to produce healthy, correct, typey progeny! He is highly ranked for other traits too. He virtually removes all guard hair, including belly and bib. We attribute this amazing ability to his sire, Snowmass Royal Bronze, who is recognized by Julie Skinner as having recognized as having strong vicuna traits. Density? He has royal fine daughters (see Dream Catcher) with 4+ pound tui blankets and SDs in the 3s. Character? Gray daughter, Mellona, is 14.5 afd, 3.5 cv; 59 curve (not a typo) @ 21 mos. and then a 63 curve the next year! Uniformity? Hardly anything to skirt out of his progeny's fleeces. Offspring have very consistent, uniform and high yielding fleeces...Little to no skirting is needed for these big blanket fleeces. Primary and secondary fibers are very similar, even across colors in the gray fleeces, most of which are pigmented silver grays. In every offspring you will see higher frequency & amplitude crimp. ZERO to minimal guard hair...no matter the dam or color of the cria. You'll likely never see any guard hair on the belly of a Fox offspring. Soundness and health, correct phenotype, conformation and movement. Even dispositions and very intelligent...and even a few silly personalities.

Golden Mist is a beautiful, very solid, proven Champion dam who has produced superior crias. She has Snowmass on her paternal side and Bolivian Mocha as her maternal grandsire. See daughters: Champagne Mist and Velvet Mist, both have exquisite fleeces. In 2017, she gave birth to a stunning fawn male, "Gabriel", by Irish Meadows Carbon Copy. Unfortunately, we lost him as a young cria to illness. 2018...true black female sired by AOBA nationals composite champion Snowmass RRoyal Fox. From Moonshadow Alpacas: "Moonshadow's Golden Mist is the combination of Snowmass Golden Victory, with incredibly fine, dense fleece and Madonna, who maintained her buttery soft handling fleece her entire life. When Golden Mist was born, she had the most amazing fleece! It has been described as spectacular by others who have seen it and felt it. Golden Mist has inherited the absolutely best qualities from each of her parents. Her fleece is as bright as can be, dense and has a feel you just want to sink your hands into and bury your face in! In today's extremely competitive alpaca market, for those looking to produce lasting elite quality fleece Mist has all you could want in a high end foundation dam. Golden Mist competed in extremely competitive fawn classes in her 2 years of showing. The judges consistently recognized her fleece for the brightness, handle and staple length. In her yearling classes, she has been commended for her overall beautiful phenotype, size and balance for the perfect breeding female. She has inherited generations of proven quality in fleece and genetics. She possesses the quality the alpaca industry is striving for! Golden Mist is now a proven dam, proving her ability to produce elite quality offspring. For her second cria, Golden Mist was bred to our super fine Sire, Matrix Principe. This combination of Victory's genetics and Principe's Matrix line has been a very successful mix for Snowmass Alpacas. When choosing a Sire to add to our breeding program we were looking for a male who could improve on these fabulous Victory girls we've produced. This pairing produced a phenomenal female, who truly displays the best both these parents had to offer! Golden Mist has definitely proven her capacity to produce elite fibered offspring. Her sale will include a breeding to any Moonshadow Herdsire. If you get your hands on her 2014 cria, you will totally understand why we couldn't resist a repeat!"
