Snowmass Everlasting Highlander XX, a great addition to our herd since summer 2019. With the successful years of having Snowmass Pure Reserve XX and the offsprings he produced, we needed to find a herdsire that would continue the art of breeding and advance us into another level of quality in alpacas. In our 2020 crop of crias from Snowmass Everlasting Highlander XX, we found just that, a consistent quality of strong, dense, fine, organised and uniform fleeces in these crias. Everlasting Highlander XX participated in 2 fleeces shows at 4 & 5 years of age where he showed elite results in all categories with comments "Crazy fine & uniform, especially for age" and " Quite impressive fineness of secondaries for age!!" Everlasting Highlander XX is a result of 30 years of committed passion in the improvement of alpaca genetics at Snowmass Alpacas. He is compact, dense, uniform with longevity of fineness showing at the age of 6 a histogram of 18.6/4.1/1.2>30 SF 18.3 with a curvature of 66!!! January 31, 2022. It's with great sadness that we announce that Snowmass Everlasting Highlander XX passed away this morning. A necropsy will be done to try and understand his death.

Belenis has won many awards in both halter and fleece show and both awarded him Judge's Choice. In 2017, his third fleece was awarded 93 points recognized as a very stunning fleece with crazy uniformity. An Elite fleece! Skin biopsies were done at the age of 24 months and 36 months. It was encouraged to do a follow-up biopsy at 36 months because at 24 months he was still showing immature secondaries in several fibre clusters. His skin biopsy in May 2017 came back at 96.25 follicules with an S/P of 23.1/1. Xclipe's Belenis produced in 2018, 2x time Judge's Choice, Ariya Belenis Lightning White who now resides in France.

Il existe de nombreuses caractéristiques importantes attribuées a Xclipse's Belenis telles que la densité, l'uniformité et la finesse. Belenis a remporté de nombreux prix en concours de licou et en concours de toison et tous deux lui ont décerné le choix du juge. En 2017, sa troisième toison a obtenu 93 points. Une toison Elite! Des biopsies cutanées ont été réalisées à l'âge de 24 mois et 36 mois. Il a été encouragé à faire une biopsie de suivi à 36 mois car à 24 mois, il montrait encore des fibres secondaires immatures pas encore développées. Sa biopsie cutanée en mai 2017 est revenue à 96,25 follicules avec un S/P(secondaires/primaires de 23,1/1.
