Congratulations to Steve & Casey Aitchison, of Epic Alpacas, on their purchase of Penelope of Country Estates . Penelope of Country Estates is a young white female sired by Aladdin of KPR, a 5Peruvian Royal Inca Legend son, and her dam is NWA/Line Priscilla, an El Bello daughter and Peruvian Hemingway and PPeruvian Victor granddaughter. Penelope has wonderful, strong parents. The dam is an excellent mother, plenty of milk, dense fleece, good conformation, and bite. Of course, Penelope's sire is well known in the mid-west for numerous show ribbons along with having many progeny who have taken many blues. He is definitely a producer of champions. His micron at 7 years is 23.8, with a SD of only 4.0 and CV of an astounding 16.8; fantastic for a busy breeding male. With all of this going for Penelope, we have bred her to Snowmass Rock Star XX, our magnificent true black herdsire, with a due date of September 15, 2012. Snowmass Rock Star XX, has to-die-for head coverage, fine, fine, fleece, and tremendous conformation. This stunning, compact jet true black, silky-soft male has excellent bone, wonderful disposition, and crimp all the way down to the tip of his tail. This true black with wonderful genetics brings fineness, not to mention his gorgeous body structure, to his offspring. Snowmass Rock Star XX. Rock Star's heritage includes Snowmass XXXtreme, Peruvian Legacy, and Snowmass Incan Myst XX. Rock Star received ribbons at Futurity and at GWAS in 2009. Update: Penelope gave birth to a lovely white female cria, sired by Rock Star, on 9/28/2012.

Congratulations and thank you to Sunny Alpacas for their purchase of Snowmass Andean Midnight! SNOWMASS ANDEAN MIDNIGHT: "FINENESS in BLACK" Elite Ultra-Fine Blacks are hard to find! However, like many of our Snowmass studs, Andean Midnight has retained his Fineness, Brightness, and Handle with age! (Amanda VandenBosch valued him at $12K in 2019). Andean Midnight is a beautiful, compact True Black "Silky Soft" stud with an outstanding Royal Pedigree for fineness and should retain his fineness for years to come. Those who need to add proven genetics of fineness, brightness and handle will appreciate the Royal Blacks from Snowmass! He is one of their best! His fiber is incredibly soft and shiny with a silky look and feel. It has a uniform low amplitude high frequency style of crimp. You have to see it to believe it. His grandsire is none other than Andean Bronze, the sire of Royal Bronze – from Snowmass’ vicuna type alpacas who retain fineness under 20 microns after reaching maturity. CONFORMATION: GOOD BONE WITH EXCELLENT COVERAGE HANDSOME CORRECT WEDGED HEADPIECE DENSE TOPKNOT CORRECT BITE SUPERIOR ROYAL “Vicuna” Lineage: Snowmass Andean Night is a brother to Snowmass Royal Bronze (throws true blacks) and Snowmass Royal Flush (throws silver grays like Silver Signature). Snowmass Andean Bronze (Peruvian Andean Gold x Peruvian Croixen) is an incredible example of longevity in fineness. Fineness will be one of the most important ingredients in breeding elite blacks! ANDEAN MIDNIGHT IS 1/2 BROTHER TO SNOWMASS ROYAL BRONZE (VICUNA TYPE) SIRE: SNOWMASS ANDEAN NIGHT (Superb Brightness & Character Throughout the Fleece) DAM: SNOWMASS FINENESS MATTERS (The name says it all...fineness in Black does matter).
