Bidding Info

Mountain Sky Ranch is proud to present Snowmass Matrix Belvedere.

Belvedere is a gorgeous beige male with incredible fleece. His fiber is ultra fine and crimp covers his body from head to toe. His mean curvature measures an outstanding 67.2% with only 0.4% of his fibers greater than 30 microns. Equally impressive, his histogram from 2012 is almost identical to his 2010 numbers. His sire is Snowmass Matrix, the highest selling alpaca at auction and producer of many winning progeny. His dam, Snowmass Bright Stars, is a multiple Produce of Dam winner who is consistently producing show winning cria.

Belvedere began his show career with a second place finish in a very competitive class at the 2010 GWAS at only 7 months of age. As he has aged, he is consistently winning in the show ring with multiple show championships to his name, including the 2011 GWAS Color Champion as a yearling. UPDATE: Belvedere wins the Light Halter Color Championship AND the Light Fleece Reserve Color Championship at the 2013 AOBA National Show!

Belvedere's first cria is on the ground and it is everything we could hope for. The little male is the spitting image of his sire but in color! Yes, Belvedere allows the dam's color to come through. We are excited about the future for this young herd sire.
