Elite Legend: Description
MASTER OF HERDSIRES:
Every livestock breed has the one Stud that surpasses all others-- not just in looks but in every element of excellence that defines the breed. In the alpaca, this element is primarily the fleece: Fineness of micron - Brightness and soft handle - good staple length - curvature - density with low primary fiber production, and most importantly, uniformity of all these traits.
Snowmass Elite Legend possesses these qualities and continues to produce them year after year in his offspring.
The other element that distinguishes a stud above others is perfect conformation--including the ideal head.
Snowmass Elite Legend possesses every element we desire.
He has been used almost exclusively over Snowmass’ white females because of his excellence and purity in clear bright white genetics. They have rarely used him over colors as they have been trying to selectively breed for prediction of solid color.
Snowmass has found that both their color and white lines are becoming close. Line breeding is essential for locking in desired traits but this can only be taken so far. There is a time for new genetic lines to be introduced which is why they have chosen to breed Elite Legend to a few of their strong colored females. The outcome has been so remarkable that they now realize the importance of bringing him into their color breeding program on a strategic level.
Snowmass Elite Legend has graced many of the North American Alpaca breeding programs with his progeny. One after another carries on his excellence and the vital excellence in fleece we need to have in large quantities to bring the North American Alpaca Industry to the heights of the finest alpaca fiber producers. Aside from his accolades in shows, Elite Legend's fiber production across his progeny is the most VALUED element of his success.
Snowmass Alpacas is proud to say that Snowmass Elite Legend is the most distinguished White Huacaya Stud standing i
