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).

PATAGONIA'S SAMBUCA Sambuca is a beautiful show string quality True Black female. She is true black in color with an extremely soft hand and consistent crimp throughout her fleece. Sambuca brought home a 2nd Place ribbon from the 2011 AOBA National Show. Her sire, Vittorio has a stunning head. His fleece has incredible density and a uniform, high-frequency crimp. Vittorio is sire by Nishio, the 2004 All-American Herdsire of the Year and the 2007 Reserve All-American Herdsire of the Year. His dam, Querida is a 3-time black champion. Sambuca's dam is a fine, true black female whose fleece is still soft to the touch at 16+ years of age. Alpacas de la Patagonia say that it is females like Black Velvet, that they brought to this country from Chile, that have helped them achieve dark colored alpaca fleeces that maintain good fineness as they age into their second decade. Offspring: On 6/8/2015, Sambuca had a beautiful TB female sired by R&RTROJAN 52T. Trojan has impressive genetics in his pedigree with multi champion R&RR Oliver Twist as his sire.
