We were looking for a proven true black herd sire that would continue to represent the high standards of our breeding program to outside females in addition to having a male who would improve the genetic qualities of our own black foundation females. The mark of a great herd sire is the ability to reproduce himself while letting the genetic qualites of the dam come through. Sparticus does this by imprinting his gentle disposition, great head, lusterous, dense, consistant fiber and perfect conformation on all his offspring. If these are the qualities that you are breeding for, and they should be, then you need to see Sparticus and his progeny in person and introduce your females to this beautiful male. We are pleased to announce our recent partnership with our good friends Susanne Thatcher and Sherri Thatcher-Harshman of Sunburst Alpacas in Cortland, Ohio, in this striking TRUE BLACK male, MFI Sparticus. Sparticus is available for breeding at either farm and can be ready for your girls with as little as 2 days notice. This eliminates the scheduling problems that are often associated with co-owned males. Boarding and mobile breedings are also available for a nominal fee. VISA, MasterCard and Discover accepted.

We are excited to announce that our first year of crias from Starz Legend have been excellent! An entry of three white juvenile males, sired by Snowmass Starz Legend, won the Get of Sire Class at the 2016 AOA National Show in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Below is the writeup taken from the Snowmass Herdsire page: "Snowmass Starz Legend has been our highest rated for our show string since he was a juvenile. Without any question this young male has shown the best combination of superior traits in fleece and overall structure. He has the highest skirted fleece weight at 5.5 lbs, with superior density and remains Royal in his grade to date. He is truly our number one Snowmass Elite Legend son. We have heard the same resounding messages from the highest level judges at the highest level shows. He has won 2 White Futurity Championships 2010 and 2012. He was awarded a 3rd place in Oxford England at the 2012 World Fleece Show. This was a huge competition with the finest of all fleeces over the world. He was also awarded a second for us as an entry in the international fleece competition for The Most Uniform Breeding Program and individually took a 1st place in his fleece division over all of our and other breeders entries. Snowmass Starz Legend has acclaimed world fame as well as continues to be a stand out stud. He is one who has helped his sire Snowmass Elite Legend to win his 3 straight Herd Sire of the Year award. While Snowmaass Elite Legend remains reserved to outside breeding, this brilliant stud, his son, is being presented to hopefully someday soon take his sires reward as herd sire of the year for you and your breeding program. We are very reluctant to let him go but the Munro's have sold their herd and we have had the opportunity to breed him to a few select females in our herd and remain to have a share in his sire Elite Legend. We could not find a more promising stud male to represent our breeding programs than Snowmass Starz Legend. He will certainly create many Starz and Legends in your breeding program."
