This multiple Blue Ribbon winner has everything we want in a herdsire: crimp, fineness, bundling and density, and the judges agree. He has Caligula bloodlines from his Sire's side and Peruvian Snowmaster from his Dam's side. Snowmass Highland Belle, his Dam, took First Place in Produce of Dam at the Great Western Alpaca Show 2006 by showing her two sons, Stewart's St. John and the Invincible Nathaniel.
St. John is an outstanding addition to our herd and started his breeding career in 2009. He... |

Reina is a daughter of the famous Snowmass Invincible who took the White Male Championship at the 2003 Futurity. She is the 2nd alpaca to be born on our farm and we are very proud of her rich medium fawn color and her superb fleece characteristics. She is very friendly and curious, easy to handle and loves to interact with both alpacas and people.
Reina gave birth to her first cria in April 2009, a beautiful white female with soft, dense fleece and fawn spots on her neck. Her name is Ap... |

William is a promising Jr. Herdsire with ultra fine fleece. He is rather laid back and mellow most of the time, and has always been very good about letting me pick up his feet, and stands calmly for shots.
As a cria William was registered as a white, since at the time he was, but as he’s aged he has gradually developed into a tuxedo rose grey. Although there aren’t any readily noticeable greys in his lineage, both his maternal uncle and half-sister are greys - the latter being a developing modern rose grey. Additionally, his sire has thrown color, and his dam's heritage is speckled with browns and blacks, so it may be safe to assume William will throw color.
Names in Prince William's pedigree on his sire's side include: Xanadu P Placido ('06 MOPACA Get of Sire), Snowmass Highland Bell ('06 Great Western Alpaca Show Produce of Dam), Snowmaster (American bred alpaca reimported to Peru), Presidio (7X Get of Sire), and Caligula. On his dam's side: Invincible ('03 Futurity Champion), Legacy (1/2 interest sold for $750,000), Pendragon of Peru (placed 1st at AOBA National Show '00 and 2nd at Futurity in '02), Hemingway, and 5Peruvian Camelot (Western Ohio Triple Crown Get of Sire).
Regarding conformation, Prince William has a strong frame and has had perfectly straight legs since birth. His fleece isn’t as dense as some, but he has a long staple length of 123.8mm to make up for it. Prince William has excellent coverage that goes all the way down to his toes, with a total shearing weight of 5.44 lbs and a 3 lb blanket. His percentage of medullated fibers isn’t bad if you consider he’s actually grey.
