Genotype: Ee Classic Grey!!! Who would have thought that Highlandar is a grey in hiding! I love doing these color tests as they open up a whole new range of options! If you are looking to diversify and upgrade your herds genetics, Highlandar is the perfect stud. Highlandar is just about as perfect as they come and has the most mellow personality! Highlandar’s lineage is phenomenal! On the sire side is Snowmass Matrix Belvedere, Snowmass Matrix, 6Peruvina Accoyo Elite, and 4Peruvian Legacy. On the dam side is The Elite Maximus, Accoyo America Marathon, and Peruvian Hemingway. Highlandar has done well in the showring with a Color Champ in 2019 and in the Iowa Fall 2020 shows coming in a very close 2nd to the 2020 National Supreme Color Champ. Judges loved his conformation, density, high frequency bundling crimp, and consistency throughout his fleece. Highlandar just earned another blue ribbon at the Illinois 2021 show in Walking Fleece! August 2021: Highlandar has 3 crias on the ground! The first boy looks like a mini-Highlandar...tight curly crimp from head to toe just like his sire and rock solid conformation! The 2nd cria is a medium fawn girl...which means Highlandar can throw color. The dam has 100% white background so the color stems from Highlandar's lineage (Snowmass Matrix). The 3rd cria is a white boy with super fine, dense, crimpy fiber! 2019 Histogram: Micron: 17.5 | SD: 3.9 | CV: 22.0% Confirmed BVDV negative.

Cocoa is beautiful dark brown (almost reddish) with black points, with gorgeous phenotype and coverage from head to toe. She is large, square, and very upright. A bit high strung (doesn't like the LGDs). Her sire, Snowmass Apotheosis, is a son of Snowmass Matrix Majesty (Futurity Herdsire of the Year 2013 and 2014) and a grandson of Snowmass Matrix. Cocoa's lineage also has PPPeruvian Kenamori Gold. Great foundation dam - bloodlines, wide, relaxed, calm to handle. Like to carry hay around in her mouth. Cocoa was bred to JLFA Millenium's Ventura at Oak Lawn Alpacas in 2019 and the result in 2020 was Vocachino, a beige girl (with five brown spots)! Vinnie produces amazing things, and this little girl is no exception. But wonder where the appy came from. Cocoa was bred to a Matrix Belvedere son for her 2022 cria. The result was a light fawn boy who has Matrix on the ARI twice. Definitely a keeper. He did well at the 2023 Wisconsin shows (WisAFF and GMAF) standing in the middle of the ribbons against farms like Irish Meadows, Majestic Meadows, and Tiskilwa Farm. Cocoa lost her 2023 cria due to a dystocia. Cocoa is bred to RobAsia's Campion again for a May 2025 cria.
