Congratulations and thank you to Sunny Alpacas for their purchase of Snowmass Andean Midnight! SNOWMASS ANDEAN MIDNIGHT: "FINENESS in BLACK" Elite Ultra-Fine Blacks are hard to find! However, like many of our Snowmass studs, Andean Midnight has retained his Fineness, Brightness, and Handle with age! (Amanda VandenBosch valued him at $12K in 2019). Andean Midnight is a beautiful, compact True Black "Silky Soft" stud with an outstanding Royal Pedigree for fineness and should retain his fineness for years to come. Those who need to add proven genetics of fineness, brightness and handle will appreciate the Royal Blacks from Snowmass! He is one of their best! His fiber is incredibly soft and shiny with a silky look and feel. It has a uniform low amplitude high frequency style of crimp. You have to see it to believe it. His grandsire is none other than Andean Bronze, the sire of Royal Bronze – from Snowmass’ vicuna type alpacas who retain fineness under 20 microns after reaching maturity. CONFORMATION: GOOD BONE WITH EXCELLENT COVERAGE HANDSOME CORRECT WEDGED HEADPIECE DENSE TOPKNOT CORRECT BITE SUPERIOR ROYAL “Vicuna” Lineage: Snowmass Andean Night is a brother to Snowmass Royal Bronze (throws true blacks) and Snowmass Royal Flush (throws silver grays like Silver Signature). Snowmass Andean Bronze (Peruvian Andean Gold x Peruvian Croixen) is an incredible example of longevity in fineness. Fineness will be one of the most important ingredients in breeding elite blacks! ANDEAN MIDNIGHT IS 1/2 BROTHER TO SNOWMASS ROYAL BRONZE (VICUNA TYPE) SIRE: SNOWMASS ANDEAN NIGHT (Superb Brightness & Character Throughout the Fleece) DAM: SNOWMASS FINENESS MATTERS (The name says it all...fineness in Black does matter). THE REST OF THIS AMAZING ROYAL LINEAGE INCLUDES: Snowmass Andean Bronze, 4 Peruvian Andean Gold, 5 Peruvian Tapara, PPeruvian Croixen. 5 Peruvian Red Hot (1/2 brother to Snowmass Midnight Magic), 5 Peruvian Ajoyani, Snowmass Golden Paradise, Snowmass Legacy Gold, Snowmass Peruvian Paradise, and Accoyo Legacy!

Congratulations and thank you to Dian and Steve Trainer, from Flatland Ranch in Rose Hill, Kansas, for their purchase of Patagonia’s BACCUS! PATAGONIA'S BACCUS Baccus' sire is our magnificent Multi-Champion Lennox son, Patagonia’s Ernesto. His dam, Patagonia’s Marcialla was assessed by Amanda VandenBosch as an A-. We love the crias Baccus has sired for us and are thrilled he has 100% returned to produce true black crias with density, terrific compact bodies, passing on his sire’s gorgeous head in black with long staple length, bright crimp going way into the belly for consistency in micron and length. At almost 5 years old, Cheryl Gehly assessed Baccus' fiber at 24-26 micron, with amazing brightness and uniformity of micron, nice crimp and character. Amanda VandenBosch assessed Baccus as A/A-. Amanda marked Baccus above average on all accounts of conformation, body score, and fiber! Extremely Dense: Baccus’ shearing weight was a whopping 13 pounds. His head type, and substance of bone are all amazingly strengths for this good natured proven male! Soft handle! Check out these Incredible Genes!
