Golden One is an elite breeding Vicuna type stud - he has a heavy wool cap and very dense fine fleece. As a four year old his micron count rivals that of most cria. Snowmass Alpacas, known for their outstanding fleeces and breeding program. treasured him enough to infuse his Macusani and Sollocota genetics into their herd. Julie Skinner notes that Golden One rivals the renowned Chaccu (now standing stud at Crescent Moon and Derwydd) in fine fleece density. We have never touched an alpaca with density that comes close to Golden One's. Visitors to our ranch routinely pick out Golden One as a favorite for his amazing fleece and regal presence. The show judges love him too - winning every class he entered. Here's what the owners of Golden One offspring are saying. Tilly Dorsey of DAFI Alpacas in Maryland says about her Golden One daughter Demeter: "She really is a lovely girl. She has beautiful fleece." Denise Reiling of Reiling Ranch Alpacas says about her Golden One son: "We are absolutely thrilled with our Golden One cria, we would breed back to him in a heartbeat." Wisconsin Alpacas says about their Golden One daughter: "Taking after her sire, Snowmass Golden One, WA Menominee has very fine fiber measuring 16.4 microns at her first shearing. Menominee has very good crimp and density. Her conformation is excellent and she loves human contact." We are offering only 3 outside breedings to Golden One in 2010 - book your breeding early to infuse these rare and fine fleece genetics into your herd. This guy is a Senior male, but his latest cria are the best we have seen to date. Don't underestimate the value of these genetics! Stud fee special only for booking made by 12/15/2010

Dam: Valorie

31461603<--ari-->Light Brown<--color--> Valorie is the dam of Benito and Valkyrie - she is a producer of high quality cria. Valorie is a nice compact alpaca with very good conformation. At three years of age her fleece came in with a micron count of 20.0. She is holding and actually improving fineness in her fleece while nursing and carrying a pregnancy. She is the daughter of Royal Peruvian Valor, a son of Accoyo Royal Fawn, who is standing stud at Alpacas of Tualatin Valley. Valorie is 1/4 Accoyo. Valorie's dam is a true black - giving Val great color genetics. Her dam has produced very fine fleeced daughters with Valorie at 20 microns and her younger sister at 19 microns. Of note is that Valorie is holding her 20 micron fleece even after nursing and holding a pregnancy. These are invaluable fleece genetics. Valorie has proven herself to be a great mom - producing plentiful milk and giving great care to her cria. Valorie has produced four outstanding cria for us. Valorie's first cria is a lt. brown boy (Benito Juarez) sired by PCA Mars, a white son of the great Peruvian Hemingway. Benito has won a ribbon in every show he has entered, including his first color Championship at 10 months of age and took 2nd Place at the AOBA National Fleece Show. Valorie's second cria is a beautiful dark fawn female (Golden Valkyrie) sired by Golden One. Her third cria, Blue Gate Mimosa, is a gorgeous beige female born on 11/10/07. Valorie delivered her third girl in a row on 10/31/08 - sired by Golden One, Blue Gate Golden Pumpkin is full sister to Valkyrie. Valorie delivered her fourth girl in a row! Blue Gate Zenyatta was born the day after her namesake was the first filly to win the Breeder's Cup. Zenyatta was 19 pounds at birth and was racing around the pasture by the time we went to do our morning feeding. At two-weeks she was over 30 pounds. Valorie is such a terrific mom. We are going to give her a little time off before she breeds next spring - unless you buy her and we will breed her to your ch<--description-->

NEWS: SKIN BIOPSY RESULTS COMPLETE Dr. Evans "Albus highest S/P ratio ever tested to date" He has an S/P Ratio of 21.25! We are pleased to announce our partnership with our friends Joanna and Rob Stephens of RobAsia Alpacas. We share ownership is a fantastic young male with amazing potential - RobAsia's Albus. We have been very selective in purchasing breeding males for our herd. For us to purchase a white male meant he had to meet and exceed any of all of our expectations for powerful genetics, excellent fleece characteristics proven with hard data, and great conformational traits. We studied him on paper, looked and fleece samples, and then traveled to Wisconsin to see him in the flesh. We made our decision with no hesitation. Genetics: Albus is sired by Snowmass Quechua's Quest. Quest is an amazing combination of two powerhouse lines in the Snowmass herd, Snowmass Star Quest (Augusto line) and Snowmass Quechua (multiple herdsire of the year). Albus' dam brings just as much to the table with her Snowmass Invincble and Accoyo Caligula in her portfolio. A secret ingredient in Albus is the appearance of arguably, the most influential female in the Snowmass herd, Snowmass Maree Love on both the top and bottom of Albus' pedigree. Fleece: Beautiful! We studied his fleece samples, saw his show fleece from his last shearing, and studied his fleece on body. The hand on Albus' fleece is among the best we have touched. The character and crimp in the fleece is consistent from top of his head to his tail. Check out fiber stats. Awesome histogram on third shearing! Conformation: Albus is upright, straight, and demonstrates strong bone structure. His photos tell the story. Albus now has cria on the ground with our partner farm in Wisconsin - they are reportedly the best cria born at RobAsia. We have confirmed pregnancies here in Texas with the first cria due in early November. He is standing at Blue Gate from November 2015 until May 2016. Limited outside breedings to approved females. Females confirmed bred to Albus available for sale.

Description

Happy Halloween! We were in New York on business when we got a phone call from our farm sitter that there was an extra alpaca at the farm on Halloween morning. Although she arrived a bit earlier, we could not have been happier about the news. We drove straight to the barn from the airport to meet a beautiful, orange brown cria - hence the name, Pumpkin. She was strong, straight, and ready to take on the rest of the herd. As Pumpkin has matured she has taken on many of fiber traits of her sire, our elite Peruvian stud, Golden One. She has a beautiful head. Her fleece is amazingly dense, with an amazing brightness and soft handle. She is showing a very stylish crimp that is reminiscent of her full sister, Blue Gate Golden Valkyrie (a two-time blue ribbon fleece winner). We acquired her sire, Golden One, from the elite herd at Snowmass Alpacas. We chose him for his rare Macusani and Sollocota genetics. We knew he would be the perfect outcross to our females. Her dam, Valorie, is a daughter of Royal Peruvian Valor. Valor is an Accoyo Royal Fawn son out of a Sollocota dam. Pumpkin carries a concentration of Sollocota genetics, complemented by Accoyo and Macusani. She has done well in the show ring, consistently placing in the ribbons in large, competitive classes. Pumpkin is bred to our star herd sire Albus. Albus is producing wonderful cria when bred to color. We got a lovely, extremely dense male, Revere, from this pairing.
