Snowmass Snow King son!

Impatiens Andre

Andre has so many things going for him, I am not sure where to begin! The first thing that drew me to him was his pedigree. I have long admired the Snowmass Alpacas and his father is Snowmass Snow King, a multi champion herdsire who is also an Accoyo Augusto son. Reading about Snow King on the Snowmass website made me feel very lucky to have the opportunity to bring Andre to our farm and start our herd. Snow King's awards include 2000 CABA: 1st Place & Champion White Male 2001 AOBA National Alpaca Show: 1st Place & Reserve Champion White Male. Snowmass Snow King is part of the NAAS, a small group of elite herdsires that recently had the 50% ownership bought out for $950,000! His bloodline is elite in quality and not widespread as Snow King hasn't been available for open outside breeding. Andre's half sister Snowmass Olympic Bells, just sold at the Snowmass auction for $53,000!
Not only does Andre have a wonderful father but his mother has also proven her value as a producer of winners in winning Produce of Dam at CABA 2000 and has maintained a micron count of 18.7 at 4 years of age! Fineness seems to run in his family though...Snow King maintains a micron of 22.8 at 4 years of age and his mother Flamboyant had a 16.8 at 3 years!

Andre's fiber is wonderfully dense and has strong bold crimp, extreme brightness, and excellent lock structure. He is also full Peruvian & 1/4 Accoyo. His presence is very proud and macho. Andre's fiber is consistently baby fine, in 2002 Andre's micron was 17.7 and his results from his 2005 shearing show 18 microns and a CF of 99.5%!

Congratulations to Story and Kim & Alechia Evans of Silverod Ranch Alpacas on the birth of their lovely brown girl! Andre's first cria! YEAH!
Also Congratulations to Melissa Haley and Jewel for the birth of their brown little girl!
2 for 2...way to go Andre!
Andre has done it AGAIN! Another dark female beauty! 3 for 3...way to go ANDRE!!!
Andre is a girl making machine! To date 6 cria born-5 are GIRLS!!! Yeah!!!

It is unfortunate that we can't breed more of our girls to Andre as we have a lot of grey and that he is related to the other half of our herd. We are keeping Andre's fee low to get more cria of his on the ground and to help in these lean times.
We are offering 1/2 interest in Andre for $1,000 or would be open to trading half interest for another male or young female. If you are interested in Andre but not sure if you want to add another male, I am also willing to lease him for 6 months to a year. Contact Leann for details!

As if Andre's stud fee isn't a big enough bargain, we are making it even more affordable! We are offering drive by breedings at $500 to as low as $300 each! Check out our package page or call Leann for details!
