Full Peruvian with Accoyo Felix and Hemingway as grandsires, Connagher brings a lot to any breeding. A phenomenal phenotype, Connagher has style, conformation, and beautiful heavy fleece. Connagher has serious competition around here for breedings, but he will get his share. A resource like this shouldn't go untapped. Connagher's fleece has been consistently tested over the last 13 years and his AFD has never gone above 21.6. His 2014 clip produced 7.5 total pounds with a 4.4-pound blanket weight. His 2014 AFD: 17.8 SD: 3.6 CV: 20.4 %>30: 0.6. Connagher is a male you put on a female to give her crias style, great conformation, density, and a lingering fleece fineness. In 2016 at the age of 15.5 Connagher still fills our hearts with amazement. His 2016 fiber clip put him in the EPD top 1% in AFD, SD, SF, and % of microns over 30. And may we mention that many of Connaghers offspring had an EPD in the top 1% in 2019. Very few of Connaghers offspring are ever offered to sell here at Red Granite Ranch. This is mainly because they all tend to maintain their fineness for a long time. So when we offer his offspring for sale take advantage of it cause it doesn't happen often. - - - - - With 39 Registered offspring (as of December, 27 2020) 21 have shown in any sort of form. All together they have won.. 6 COLOR CHAMPION 7 RESERVE CHAMPION 1 BEST BRED & OWNED - - - - - With great sadness we lost Connagher on November 27, 2020 and sadly had no covered females by him for 2021. He was a fantastic Peruvian herdsire who held a 15-19 micron number up till his death. He will be kept on our Herdsire row as a reference sire.

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. FINENESS GRADE 0 ages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years old FINENESS GRADE 2 age 6 years old FINENESS GRADE 2 CURRENT age 8 Progeny Description/Data From seven offspring we collected data from there first year histograms. From those seven the averages were as followed: AFD 17.6, SD 3.4, CV 19.7, %30 0.5, SF 17, Curve 46.3. This is the average numbers we have gotten from Bad Boys offsprings first year fiber testings. Bad Boy is a strong herdsire that we use to improve a females SD and CV traits.
