Here at Tierra Prometida Alpacas, we are thrilled to announce the addition of Snowmass Touche' to our herdsire line-up. We have been looking for a long time for a males who can geneticallly and phenotypically complement our Caligula's Accoyo Poseidon offspring and those of his beautiful son's.
We were looking for a male that we could breed to our Elite White females and to our colored production females. In essence, we were looking for a male with Elite Fleece Characteristics--especially with a combination of Density, Fineness, Brightness, and bundling.
I believe that we have found the PERFECT MALE to fit our needs!
Snowmass Touche is truly one of the finest, densest, Elite white fleece studs out of the Snowmass Breeding program. He was designed like Snowmass Matrix to go over both Elite white and Color production Dams. He has a very unique genetic line up which includes the superior line of Snowmass Maree Love --the Dam to Snowmass QUECHUA and Snowmass INVINCIBLE, Touche's Sire.
The unique and white Elite element to Touche is his Dam, Snowmass Olay--she is the only Sollocota - Allianza line with her fineness in the Snowmass herd.
Her fleece to date has amazing high curvature and lasting finenss fleece attributes. At age 8 her stats are 22.6 3.8 16.6 2.5 and a 50.3 CURV remarkable at any age but at age 8 with this CV WOW and the reason she is one of Snowmass' ROYAL white breeding Dams and a KEY ELEMENT in Snowmass Touche's importance as an ELITE fleece STUD.
He has his first offspring on the ground of which the oldest came to the Futurity 2010 in the Snowmass show string-- "Snowmass Velvet Touch". "Snowmass Velvet Touch" earned the male reserve Brown Color Championship.
