TOP white lineage for Low CV High Curv!

Snowmass Premonition - Deceased

Huacaya, Herdsire (Male), Proven | White

AOA# 31139755   D.O.B. 7/14/2007
Sire:
Snowmass Sub-Zero 
| AOA# 850316  | White  |
Snowmass Sub Zero is one in a million in terms of his fleece and the propensity of his genetics to produce consistency in fineness. Alpacas are a long ways from being the consistent fiber producers especially in terms of CONSISTENCY of FINENESS in comparison to fine sheep breeds like the Merino. We can produce the fine micron but what about the standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV). In many textile applications low SD & CV are as important as low average fiber diameter. For this purpose we need alpacas like SUB- ZERO. His name being representative of this very important number factor in fiber statistics.

Look carefully at his histograms, then look at his sires 6 Peruvian Monarch's. As we list the sons and daughters of both these studs you will see that this trait in these very prepotent studs are HERITABLE! Sub Zero like his sire is also an extremely good looking stud, with a balance and frame to greatly admire along side his truly elite fleece which covers his entire body.
The even more invaluable element for us is that he is completely unrelated to the bulk of our herd being a Full Sollocota lineage!!

Fiber and Fleece Description
Superb in brightness and extremely dense tightly packed fine fibers with extreme high frequency crimp.

Description

Snowmass' description of Snowmass Premonition at the 2010 Genetic Advancement Sale:
"Snowmass Premonition is one of the top 3 white males out of some 60 that we chose to bring to represent our herd sires at the Futurity 2008. He represented his sire, Snowmass Sub Zero, who is one of the finest white fleece studs in our breeding program. Every year this gets harder and harder for us as White alpaca is the one color of alpaca we work the hardest creating the most diversity in excellence and the rule allowing you to only show 3 is extremely restricting to showing the world our white breeding program and precisely why we show less than 10% of our progeny. Snowmass Premonition is one of our TOP white lineages that rises from the line that is absolutely proven o be one of the most consistent in fineness LOW CV high Curv and remains extremely bright and fine through the age and life of the alpaca. He has the head of his sire and Grandsire Snowmass Accoyocusani and is a blend of some of the finest Royal Whites. This young stud will bring fine white fleece genetics through your herd without question."



Snowmass Premonition Champion Progeny:
Red Granites Wenona - 2018 National Western Stock Show White Female Color Champion
Red Granites Bad Boy - 2-time banner winning male, Sports a 2016 AFD of 17, cries having micron numbers of 11 and curv's of 50+!
