When you have a winning combination, it's hard not to stick with it. Snowmass Gold Starz is one of our very best females and mom to our outstanding herdsire Snowmass RRoyal Stars, who must be seen to be believed. We bred her to our own Guns n Roses for 2008 and manufactured RR Rose Fiona, one of our champion "starlets". Could we possibly improve on this outcome? We just might have...La Reina will attend the coronation ball. We are getting used to seeing some outstanding cria fleeces in the two years that GnR has been breeding, but this little princess has us slack jawed. We know where she'll be this spring!
