Snowmass Snow Legend is one of the finest studs in the nation, with a cashmere-like fleece of 14.4 micron count in 2004 and still, over 40 offspring, at the age of 8, his micron count is 21.6!!
Son of one of the most unique Full Accoyo sires in the US; his father Snowmass Incaaccoyo Star (I-Star) is sired by the one and only, Peruvian Snowmaster (more on side).
I-Star passed on his great conformation to Legend; including bite, straight legs, & straight top line: as well as his FANTASTIC fiber with a tight and uniform crimp, lock structure, density, coverage, soft handle & bundling and luster.
Even more exciting than that, is that Legend is a male full of attitude, presence and great conformation. Just looking at him makes you go WOW. He represents the greatness of his sire & grandsire, with an additional brightness, luster and highly expressive crimp making an unbelievable fleece on this true Champion. Snowmaster & I-Star passed all this onto Legend, plus a great disposition!
Finding a top of the shelf white alpaca with the fiber characteristics combined with a strong conformation is important for any alpaca program...and as Snowmaster is no longer available; & there are very few of these treasured Snowmaster offspring still existing, here is a great chance to obtain these great and rare genetics through his grandson Snow Legend, by breeding your prized alpacas to him!
Don't overlook this Peruvian Snowmaster grandson!
His name says it all...He truly is a legend of Snowmaster’s incredibly exceptional genetics, that needs to be carried on. He truly has it all: an Elite Full Accoyo lineage from Snowmaster (which is one of the most desired in the industry), fabulous confirmation & remarkable fleece!
Thank you to Evergreen Valley Alpacas, Enterprise Ranch, Grazing Hills Alpacas, Stirling Ridge Alpacas for choosing Snow Legend for breedings!

Ruth will add pervasive fineness and elite genetics to your breeding program, as well as remarkable density and lingering fineness (meaning their fleece stays fine), as she has already done for us.

Hemingway's done it again; with another exceptional cria…Hemingway's Ruth is excellent in every way. She shines with his genes, with the ‘Hemingway head’, lovely topknot, and perfect spear-shaped ears & a wonderful handle, density, luster, and more!!!
Ruth will add pervasive fineness and elite genetics to your breeding program, as well as remarkable density and lingering fineness (meaning their fleece stays fine), as she has already done for us.
Ruth's histograms show incredible fineness: At 6 months of age, her AFD was: 17.9; 2nd shearing: 20.4 (both 1st and 2nd years, she was boarded out); 3rd shearing: 16.9; 5th shearing: 18.5; 6th shearing: 21.3; 7th shearing: 21.3 and 8th shearing: 21.1!!!!
Her offspring show the same, and are extremely dense with tons of coverage and fineness:
Royal: Year 1: 15.4
Uzziah: Year 1: 17.4; Year 2: 14.5
Reginald: Year 1: 17.1
Dia: Year 1: 15.1
Ruby: Year 1: 16.6
We keep rebreeding Ruth to Snowmass Snow Legend, because the crias they produce are extraordinary!!!
This year, we re-bred her for the 4th time to Snowmass Snow Legend -- one of the finest studs in the nation, who had a cashmere-like fleece of 14.4 micron count in 2004 and has retained his lingering fineness still, with a micron count of 20.8 at 9 years old!! Legend represents the greatness of his sire (Snowmass IncaAccoyo Star) & grandsire(Snowmaster), with an additional brightness, luster & highly expressive crimp making an unbelievable fleece on this true Champion, which he has proven to pass onto his offspring.
NOTE: The cut-rate prices of our girls are NOT a reflection of their quality. We simply need to make room for the new cria coming on this year! Our loss is your gain!!

He has an Elite bright, fine and well defined beige fleece that is conparable to the best of Snowmass' whites and beiges, yet he has the significant color genetics behind him as well.
He would be the one to cross to any color female to get color and to improve fineness, brightness, uniformity, extension of fineness, and staple length. The brightness and handle of his fiber is simply superb.
Snowmass Reminiscence is a strong robust male much like his dam; SNOWMASS BELLADONNA and his sire; SNOWMASS ANDEAN BRONZE. As you go back in his line you will see that PPERUVIAN EDELWEIS, LEGACY GOLD, and SNOWMASTER are all there.
Reminiscence has well over a three dozen cria on the ground already, ranging all around the color scale, including white, fawns, browns & blacks! All of which excel in their fiber quality with luster, density, and fineness!!!
You could simply not ask for a more exciting in genetics to back up everything you see before you in this male. To get all these genetics in one stud is a mark of excellence, which takes a lot of time and is hard to acquire. AN ELITE STUD SNOWMASS REMINISCENCE!
Thank you to Evergreen Valley Alpacas for choosing Snowmass Reminiscence for breedings!
Note: The way discounted price of our two herdsires is not a reflection of their quality!
We're just currently downsizing our herd and have a few young upcoming herdsires.

Details
With Elite International genetics including some of Snowmass' finest originals: Snowmass IncaAccoyo Star, Peruvian Snowbells, Peruvian Bueno, Hemingway, Snowmass Silver Pearl, Peruvian Accoyo Arctic, and Peruvian Snowmaster, how could you not be good?
As soon as she was born it was apparent Ruby had a remarkable fleece. Not only does she have one of the most exciting fleeces we've seen, but her fleece shows pervasive fineness, incredible definition, and dense bundles of bright, low micron, low amplitude, high frequency, tight crimp with long staple length.
Not only her fleece is exquisite though, her conformation is too! She shines with her GrandSire Hemingway's genetics, with her ‘Hemingway head’, lovely topknot, and perfect spear-shaped ears.
Her sire - award-winning Accoyo Snowmass Snow Legend - had a 14.4 micron fleece at 1st shearing, and his fleece has maintained it's lingering fineness, still at 20.8 microns at 9 years of age. This he has passed onto his cria.
While her dam - Hemingway's Ruth - has added pervasive fineness and elite genetics to our breeding program, as well as remarkable density and lingering fineness. Even after her 8th shearing, her AFD is 21.1 microns!!!! In 2 previous breedings to Snowmass Snow Legend, Ruth threw an incredible male-Uzziah, who had a 14.5 micron count at his second shearing, and a female-Dia with a 1st count of 15.1!!
We are excited to see what her breeding to Snowmass Reminiscence will produce this Fall. Reminiscence has almost impenetrably dense fleece & a World-Class Lineage, including Peruvian Snowmaster, Snowmass Edelweis, Snowmass Legacy Gold, Snowmass Belladonna, and Snowmass Andean Gold...and this breeding will surely produce another amazing animal!!
*** Congrats to Pete and Wendy Bogard of Savage Valley Alpacas. We hope you enjoy the new additions to your herd!
