2024 Reserve Huacaya Herdsire of the Year - Light Offspring
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
As pretty as a peach, this feminine and lyrical female will play a key role in any discerning alpaca breeders program. Stout structured and square on point, you’ll find H2R Velma certainly isn’t delicate. Velma’s fleece packs a punch – she sheared a 4.6 pound blanket weight in 2023 at 21 months of age! Testing 17.3 microns in 2022, her medium fawn fleece is well-organized, fine, high-amplitude, uniform and very dense. Her judge’s choice winning sire, H2R Valerian, won 1st place Get-of-Sire at The Futurity and 1st at AOA Nationals in 2023. Valerian’s production includes the 2023 AOA National Supreme Champion Light Huacaya Female. Velma has the pedigree, conformation, style and elegance to carry her new owner into the future. For the crem de la crem, she sells with a first-time breeding to Snow Diamond Absinthe – who became a world beater sire in 2023. With Absinthe’s brightness, uniformity and balance, we think this cross will be a sweet deal indeed!
