SNOWMASS SNOW CLOUD has consistantly proved his ability to pass these awesome fiber traits to his incredible off spring. In the 2013 and 2014 EPD rankings, several of his sensational progeny ranked in the top 1% in multiple EPD traits. In 2014, out of 31,937 females participating in the program, two of his extraordinary daughters are ranked number one. Arapaho Snow’s Zanadu for AFD and Arapaho Whitney Snow for MC.
SNOWMASS SNOW CLOUD is a male that will enhance any breeding program. He has a solid well balanced frame and a good bite. His fiber has extraordinary character, a soft hand, and a uniformity that defines his lingering fineness. He is creating progeny from white to brown.
Full Peruvian, SNOWMASS SNOW CLOUD, is a genetic power house including Snowmass Messiah, a double All American Futurity winner. As well as Hemingway and the limited genetics of two superior males Snowmaster, and Drambuie, who were sold to Australia.
Combining his fantastic conformation with the elite fiber attributes one would expect of his genealogy, SNOW really stands out from the pack.

31620222 White Full Peruvian 3/4 Accoyo well proportioned female with strong conformation and female 6 month old female at side from our own multiple champion, superiorly dense and fine male Snowmass RRoyal Stars. This is an outstanding opportunity for white breeders to raise their game. Stars' follicle biopsy (Watt) results are the third highest among all alpacas tested. Juliette is being sold in re-bred to RRoyal Stars so that we can make room for our cria coming this spring.
We are only selling our white herd so that we can focus exclusively on our colored breeding program and we are selling our best producers.
Description
What a wonderful outcome of the breeding of our foundation dam Juliette to Snowmass Snow Cloud. Snow Cloud has been honored by AOA for being in the top 75 animals in the nation for expected prodigy differences (EPDs) across all his fleece traits. That is truly a major accomplishment, and congratulations to Karen Kelly. The pairing of these two have for sure made this girl something special, not only in her fleece character, but her genetic capability. Snow Queen is in the top 5% for 4 traits and the rest of the traits are well superior to the national average.
Snow Queen is packed with fiber that is fine and long. Queen is now bred to Majestic's Man Among Men who will give even more improvement to her offspring. She will lose no staple length but will improve her uniformity for sure. We can't wait for this one.
Queen is compact, square, good boned and her personality is absolutely great. She's friendly and curious. Juliette brings that Accoyo fiber character mixed with the genetic predictability that her Peruvian genetics give her. Snow Cloud has 5 fiber traits in the AOA 1% club. Quite a great choice for our out breeding program. We keep breeding back to Snow Cloud, because he is that good.
Queen is gifted with her mother's density and staple length. In 2020 at age 3 she sheared 7 pounds. In 2021 she sheared 9 pounds. Queen's fiber is very fine. She has exceptionally long staple length, her 2019 histogram has a 137 micron SL. Ultimately what grabs you is her luster and brightness. She has rare guard hairs in any given sample. To match the actual fiber quality, look at her genetic potential under the DNA link on this page. Queens genetic picture is amazing. She will improve her offspring fiber in every trait. Most importantly, she will give her offspring staple length. She has the breeding trifecta we have been working toward for 10 years. Queen has fineness, uniformity of fineness, and amazing staple length.
Her next breeding will be Snowmass Cold Cash. He will up her offspring fineness significantly.
