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

Blue Gate Papaya has gorgeous medium fawn fleece. She seems to have inherited her sires fleece character and her dam's color genetics. Her sire is a signature Accoyo stud, 4Peruvian Pachacuti. Pachacuti has been producing outstanding offspring, passing on his Accoyo fleece type to his offspring. Papaya's dam is one of our original foundation females WLA Red Poppy. Poppy is a Chilean import who has provided us with a string of outstanding offspring. When bred to quality males she has consistenly produced quality offspring - she won 3rd place in produce of dam at the TXOLAN show. We are especially pleased that she finally gave us a female.
