His crias are phenomenal. Championing at Nationals, winning at Futurity and in your pasture with blankets consistent to the belly and fantastic fleece and body! Snowmass Alpacas descibed him well, so here are their words: "Named after the best Port we have ever tasted… And a toast to the very best XXXTREME production son ever to be born. The entire Alpaca breeding world knows who Snowmass XXXtreme is after taking herdsire of the year 2 years running 2006 & 2007. This particular son, Snowmass Porteus was the Ultimate reason why. Porteus in our opinion is the ULTIMATE™ in COLORED ALPACA production and why he has been staged in the Snowmass publication of The Making of Champions Part II as having the ultimate colored alpaca fleece.(A LONG, FINE, XXXtremely BRIGHT, staple and incredibly consistent through the entire body, from head to chest to toe) Snowmass Porteus simply stated has the “LOOK”, strong, upstanding, and extremely well balanced in his frame added to his ELITE FIBER he has INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL to raise the bar in ALPACA COLOR FIBER. Snowmass Porteus, as well his sire, has taken our COLOR breeding program to the top level of SUPERIORITY equal to the most ELITE whites. Porteus was shown at the highest level show, The Futurity, and took first place both as a Juvenile and Yearling and moved victoriously into the CHAMPION CIRCLE. Many Juveniles place well the first year but the real test is if they can stand in the same position the next year. Nothing about him has wavered in fleece and or body in his maturity. His 1st yr AFD of 15.1 and 2nd year of 16.5. HE IS THE ULTIMATE™..." Sadly, Porteus passed away in late Summer 2010. We miss him. He left us with a few spectacular offspring, a young herdsire or two, and a few in-utero that we anxiously await. The Porteus offspring will become the backbone of our breeding programs for years to come. We share our loss with our outstanding partners at Dusty Creek Ranch and Blue Gate Alpacas.

Bea-2 Bomber is proudly and HAPPILY co-owned with Cory & Kim Wesson at Sopris Alpaca Farm! One of the premier grey Herdsires in the country, Bomber has close to 50 banners in his legacy - we are going for 100! His own list of show banners is extensive with show wins three wins at the prestigious AOBA National Show, once in halter, and two in fleece! His temperament is even, calm and he is a joy to work with. He has epic fleece characteristics that he seems to consistently pass through - bright bright bright! High frequency crimp. A solid frame, a stocky but well proportioned frame with a noteworthy head style that seems to get stamped on all of his offspring. Bomber is a keeper. His offspring have been top notch here at Willowwind and Sopris, along with clients. At 2016 Futurity, his daughter, Avery was CC and Judge's Choice, his son, Dauntless was CC at Nationals, at 2015 GWAS his daughter was grey CC, his son was grey CC and another daughter was RCC in brown. And they are still winning in 2024! Bomber is available for outside breedings and he DOES NOT disappoint.
