AOA# 32352823DOB: 7/30/201311 yrs
Red Granites Bad Boy is a very unique male, his special features just go on and on, his most recognizable trait is his incredible head style. His sire, Snowmass Premonition, also had this head style which comes from Snowmass Accoyocusani. Premonition comes from the very well known Snowmass Sub-Zero line creating the LOW CV & LOW SD vaules with incredible head types that we all want in our programs. One of Bad Boy's other exceptional traits is his low micron and CV vaules which are both staying under 20 for most of his current lifetime, this is what we are striving for on ELITE Herdsires. The best part about this is he can easily cover color considering his lineage, making this a perfect opportunity to improve our color-side of the herd and bring in all these vaules into them, creating some of the BEST colored animals we can offer with elite fiber statistics to back them up. Snowmass Matrix Breckenridge, his dam, sits with an incomparable amount of WORLD-CLASSIC genetics. She is sired by the ever great -- Snowmass Matrix and by one of Snowmass Alpacas former best production females before releasing her at an annual auction who of which we own, Snowmass Cashmina a Snowmass XXXtreme daughter and Peruvian Hemingway granddaughter via dam. If you are not familiar with Cashmina try her daughter Snowmass Cashmina Gold the dam to: Snowmass Smokin (Former lead dark sire at Snowmass & Quechua Enterprises), Snowmass Kahuna Cashmina (2X Futurity Champion), or Snowmass Celestial XX the dam to Snowmass Divine Legacy XX. So, Matrix Breckenridge is lined up with PROVEN breeding success, and her line has created a few of the best colored animals Snowmass Alpacas has produced. So when we combined the Snowmass Sub-Zero line with Snowmass Matrix and Snowmass XXXtreme we got a LOW CV, LOW SD, HIGH CURV, INCREDIBLY BRIGHT AND FINE, future herdsire, and one of which who can improve both light and dark programs. Fiber and Fleece Description Uniformity and fineness with high frequency staples expressed all across his blanket.

Description

Red Granites Larimer is a very impressive male!! He stands out in the pastures with his impressive full-coverage phenotype, large bones, capacity, and enduring personality. The fleece he carries is beautiful!! He has a great amount of brightness coupled with extreme density and a medium to high frequency fleece style, which is uniform in style and micron when you move across his body. His 2024 EPDs reveal that he is the 97th out of 30,000+ males for %M, meaning that on average, he will produce less overall fiber medullation than the breed average (primary fibers). Larimer really came into his own his two-year-old season, reason being why we brought him back out to shows. During that time he gained 1 Best Bred & Owned Male banner, 5 First Places, and 1 Third Place. This makes him a 5th generation champion on the top (sire side)... His sire, Red Granites Bad Boy, is a powerful Herdsire with longevity (<22 microns). His first histogram test reported an AFD of 14.7. At 5 years he tested AFD 17.1 and at 9 years he tested 19.7. Now testing at 10 years of age, his fineness has not diminished and his AFD holding at 21.5 microns with 2.9 %<30 and curve of 47.9. Bad Boy is packed full of color genetics and crosses the Snowmass Sub-Zero line with Snowmass Matrix and Snowmass XXXtreme. We sold a daughter of his earlier this year at the ACE auction...now its time to offer his ONLY colored son!! Red Granites Lady Rose is the dam of Larimer. She is a top show-winning daughter of AOBA National Reserve Champion, Snowmass Matrix Rose, also the sired of world-renowned breeding male, Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose. Lady Rose's dam, Crescent Moon's Lorena is not only a champion herself but also a direct daughter of our late Crescent Moon's Shiftin Gears and out of a true black SCA Peruvian Desert Sun dam. Shiftin Gears was an ELITE male who shifted things into gears, with PERUVIAN & ACCOYO genetics to produce fine superior heavy-fleeced alpacas. He was a direct son of 6Peruvian Accoyo Elite 5057 crossed with a Full Peruvian, Peruvian Geronimo G187 daughter to give him the consistency in his fineness over a touch of a heavy fleece weight that has weighed 14 pounds in 2010 at 6-years-old. SCA Peruvian Desert Sun made his splash in the show ring from 2000-2003 earning 5 Championships, 3 Reserve Championships, 13 Blues, Breeder's Choice, AFCNA Award, Brightest Fleece, Best Crimp, Judges Choice, and Best Fleece. He has sired over 100 progeny and they have won over 50 banners. Besides a great pedigree, Lady Rose boasts an impressive brown fleece. Her 2024 report showed her retaining an AFD 23.5, SD 4.3, and CV 18.2 all at 7-years of age. Breeders looking to shift their program into the right direction need to highly consider this "macho" male - if you don't we will!
