Description

Congratulations & thank you to Crescent Moon & Red Granite Ranch for their purchase of Estates Passionate Fever!

MEET 14x CHAMPION and 3x JUDGE’S CHOICE WINNER-ESTATES PASSIONATE FEVER!
Fever is the son of Snowmass Pure Passion, our outstanding champion producing stud with 5 GET-OF-SIRE Blue Ribbons! Passion represents 30 years of passion in breeding for the perfect-colored fleece on the most beautiful-bodied alpaca. Snowmass Alpacas said, “Snowmass Pure Passion is the most magnificent Light Fawn Matrix son Snowmass Alpacas has ever produced.” Fever's maternal grandsire is Patagonia’s El Galan, our magnificent 4x champion & multiple blue-ribbon winning herdsire out of Patagonia’s Cayo. His maternal great grandsire R&R Oliver Twist has consistently produced outstanding offspring in Canada and the U.S., that exhibit fine, uniform micron in their fleeces, along with crimp & correct, solid conformation.

Passionate Fever has been a superstar in the show ring. As a juvenile, he won Light Male Color Champion & the Judge's Choice award at the 2019 California Classic. Jude Anderson awarded Fever the Color Championship at the 2019 CABA Classic (out of 17). He also received Reserve Champion & 1st Place at the 2019 Alpacapalooza show! In addition, Fever brought home Blue Ribbons at the 2019 The Futurity, 2019 California Classic, & 2019 AOA National Shows. He also helped ACE bring home a 1st Place Ribbon at the 2019 California Classic for Breeder's Best Three. Fever won Color Champion & his 2nd Judge's Choice award at the 2019 Gold Country Gathering! He & his siblings also won Pure Passion a Blue Ribbon for GET-of-SIRE at the 2019 Gold Country show. Fever received his 3rd Judge's Choice & Color Championship at the 2020 A-OK Alpaca Blast-Off! He received 5 more championship banners in 2021 & won Reserve Champion & 2 Blue Ribbons at the 2022 Calif. Classic!

In 2019, Passionate Fever was evaluated as an A+ by senior AOA Judge Amanda VandenBosch. "He has excellent substance of bone, balance to frame, fiber coverage, good organization within staple, maintains consistency across fleece, moves to the extremities to neck, good density relative to fineness." Jill Marcellus said, "He’s a very refined looking male, He’s moderately sized, right in the middle there, & that can be very useful in a breeding program. He’s got good balance & proportion, excellent substance of bone, & a very typey male with a good strong phenotype. I really like his head style as well. His fleece is very fine & exceptionally uniform in all the fleece traits. I pulled samples from all over the place on him & really there is virtually no difference from mid-side to right into the front shoulder area to over to the hip. That also carried through with the staple type and also the expression of character through the fleece. It’s very uniform right across his body and underneath his belly."

Fever has outstanding cria on the ground!
