We are really excited to have had the opportunity to purchase Snowmass Trilogy from Don and Julie Skinner of Snowmass Alpacas. He is out of their Royal Grand Dam, Snowmass Liberty Bell and is sired by Snowmass Messiah. This particular combination cannot be duplicated due to the unfortunate death of Trilogy's dam Snowmass Liberty Bell. Trilogy is a large framed male much like his maternal brothers, Infinity and Artic Wind. The one thing they also have in common is the rare trait of having large frames in hand with exquisitely fine fleece, which continues to remain fine through the years. Snowmass Alpacas had other large framed alpacas over their years of breeding that they were excited about. However, if they could not keep their fineness of fleece, they were no longer employed as stud males in the Snowmass breeding program. Snowmass Trilogy not only is large and fine fleeced, but he is well balanced and outstanding looking. Trilogy has a high amplitude crimp style with medium frequency combined with a long locking staple. His fleece also carries extreme brightness. It is that brightness, long-term fineness and tremendous weight of fleece in hand that he is passing on to his progeny. Snowmass Trilogy has been classified by Snowmass Alpaca as a "Royal Proven Production Stud"(RPPS). Each of these studs is proven to have produced 90% or more of their offspring with an AFD under 20 microns with less than 5%>30 in the progeny's first and second year's fleece.

Tita has one of the best fleeces we have ever seen on an alpaca with brightness, high frequency crimp, combined with extreme fineness and density. She is crimpy from head to toe. Not only does she have an incredible fleece she has a solid frame and wonderful look about her. Tita is sired by a champion, white Lennox son. Tita's dam is a fawn champion Nishio daughter. In her show career Tita has done extremely well, winning 5 championships and placing in the top three in all of her shows as a yearling. We decided to push this genetic powerhouse to the limits with her maiden breeding. We chose none other than Snowmass Conopa XXX. This will be a coveted breeding since he has been sold, leaving the country soon and his genetics will be loss to the US forever. OMG Tita has done an amazing job with her maiden cria!!! She is an excellent mother and gave birth to an incredible cria with fleece that I have never seen before. The microbundles are so tight to her skin that it is hard to pull straight. We are excited to see how this girl progresses. Stay tuned. Fiber Stats: 2011-AFD-18.7, SD-4.2, CV-22.7%, >30-1.3% 2012-AFD-19.6, SD-4.3, CV-22.1%, >30-1.4%
