There has never been a more important grey line than this one. In show after show, Sterling Silver was judged as the "ideal" in grey production, "one of a kind," and THE stud to breed to for the greatest grey results. Sterling died in December 2011, and we look forward to seeing his final crop of babies next year. Co-Owned with Alpacas of Montana, Bozeman

This female was owned by Julie and Don Skinner's oldest daughter Maree. She purchased her out of their entire herd as her FAVORITE with proceeds from her first alpaca Snowmass Golden Heritage. Morning Moon has a number of cria for Maree and she wanted to be part of the sale again with one of her alpacas and so chose to sell Morning Moon. Morning Moon is a delight in Color. She has a strong frame and brings very exciting color genetics to Snowmass' herd from Canada and Peru. She has produced Grey from Grey and Fawn from Fawn and Black from Black. She has a beautiful lustrous black fleece that took a Blue in AWE and 2nd place at AOBA National Fleece show. Her breeding to Snowmass Royal Challenger is one Don and Julie tried to talk Maree into waiting for and truly regret her selling her as know it will be one of her best. And guess what...it was! If you have seen any of Royal Challanger's offspring as they have stood in the winner's circle at the Futurity...you will know why we are so excited! We are absolutely thrilled that she had a male, as we can already tell that he is destined for our herdsire line-up! She is sister to Golden One who is an outstanding herdsire owned by Blue Gate Alpacas. We will be breeding her after Thanksgiving to the one and only Snowmass Porteus! If we were to get a black from this breeding, you might hear my yea haw all the way to Idaho!
