In a new partnership with Tom Blanford of Clayfarm Alpacas, I am pleased to announce the acquisition of Snowmass Arch Angel XX. Lynn Edens has been watching this male develop since she acquired Snowmass Alpacas. He exhibits strong genetics for staple length as well as consistency. His fleece is bright and exhibits micro-bundling as well as a high frequency, low amplitude crimp structure. Upon evaluation prior to shearing, his two daughters were tagged as "retain for foundation" for the Snowmass herd. We have many of his crias on the farm for evaluation and some for sale. If your herd need staple length and fineness, this is the guy! Arch Angel has a very interesting fleece profile as demonstrated through his EPDs and histograms. He has all eight EPD catagories under 7%. The most interesting part is that his fleece weight and micron both are under 5% while his staple length EPD is under 7% which is an exceedingly rare combination.

He should prove to be a true impact sire. Arch Angel will be available for stud services in Idaho and Ohio this spring. Please contact us to make breeding arrangements..Arch Angel will be offered at an introductory breeding fee of $1500. Only ten breedings will be offered at this price. Please contact me As Soon As Possible to schedule your breedings.

Melina is a beautiful solid medium rose grey, full Peruvian female with excellent coverage, extra long staple length, soft/buttery handling fleece and sweet personality. She will be ready to breed this year and we will include a breeding prior to her leaving our farm. Melina's dam is HPA Peruvian Mendoza, a dark fawn show-string female from High Peaks Alpacas. Her sire, Snowmass Royal Flush, had his photo on several Snowmass publications as an example of a bloodline tested 100% pure for Alpaca DNA (without any trace or Llama DNA). This female may be purcahse individually or as part of the HPA herd package.

Sound the horns!! Here at Promised Land Alpacas we have specialized in full Peruvian Black and Greys for years. Many of which have gone on to become “not for sale” foundation males and females at high end farms and ranches across the country. Well – now the day has come….we have just created hands down the BEST FULL PERUVIAN ¾ ACCOYO TRUE BLACK we have ever made!!! We are supremely confident that he will be the next big thing. Attitude really has it all. His genetics are alarmingly amazing. His dam is our foundation female Royal Victoria, who is out of arguably the best brown female ever imported - 5Peruvian Victoria Rose and the incomparable Accoyo Royal Fawn. His Sire is the one and only Accoyo Michelangelo – who may be the densest alpaca we have on record according to his skin biopsy. Both parents have produced umpteen champion offspring and let’s just say when it comes to Attitude, we think they have both out done themselves. This boy has what we would call white quality fleece, but in an inky true black color. He is has all things to the nth degree – density, fineness, character, uniformity, brightness, and excellent handle. His conformation is stellar. He is rock solid, heavy bone, ideal proportions with full coverage. Attitude has a full sister, PLF Peruvian Ancora Imparto (we lovingly call her Cora) who is the most outastanding fawn female we have ever produced. Cora is a multichampion with a Judge’s Choice Award to boot. We were so blown away with Cora that we did the breed back for another Cora and got well…Awesomeness in Attitude. Both of these alpacas are truly Elite. Attitude started his show career with banners in his first three shows! He has now started his breeding career with three girls settled. Call and get in on intro breeding fees.
