This male has an amazing fleece, excellent conformation and beautiful head. He is Snow Diamond Absinthe, son of 7x champion CCNF Elixir who also is 2x judges' choice winner. Absinthe already has won two color championships and a judges' choice award in his first show season. Snowmass Matrix Majesty and CCNF Archangel run in Absinthe's dam's pedigree.
Judges in two fleece shows have recognized Absinthe's "fine fleece with great uniformity" and "his high degree of fineness and uniformity." In a walking fleece competition, he had three perfect scores and one score that was just a point away from perfection. In halter he was named Judge's Choice at the 2019 Illinois Alpaca Show.
Absinthe produces all the colors, including appaloosa and black!
Absinthe's first cria crop included the 2023 AOA Supreme Champion Dark Huacaya Female H2R Queen's Jubilee. Jubilee was also Judge's Choice at the 2023 Futurity and sold to Oldenburg Alpacas and Madrick Alpacas in Germany. Other Judge's Choice offspring include H2R Truffle Shuffle and H2R A La Mode. His son, H2R Atlas, now resides as a breeding male in Poland. His offspring have been bannered at the AOA National Show in both halter and walking fleece.
Absinthe's two histograms were:
2018 AFD 13.8 SD 3.0 CV 21.7 >30 0.3
2019 AFD 13.8 SD 2.9 CV 20.9 >30 0.3
And check out those EPDs! Not too shabby.
They don't come much better than this.

Description
If you remember H2R Atlas at the 2023 Futurity Sale, here is another chance at a Snow Diamond Absinthe son packed with those strong similar attributes. We left Anthem at home during the 2023 show season for a chance to grow into himself and come into his own. He is doing just that. His dam, Snowmass Touch of Royalty, is a Velvet Touché daughter who still maintained a baby grade fleece (22.1 microns) in 2022. His sire, Snow Diamond Absinthe, needs no introduction.
