Description

As her name suggests, Bells is a Snowmass Loro Piana daughter, and she is out of a Snowmass Defiance daughter. Then add a little Snowmass Best Man and a little Snowmass Sub-Zero! That’s what this girl’s got! Incredible genetics there! Bells' phenomenal herdsire, Snowmass Loro Piana, is in the top 1% EPD's for AFD & SF, and top 10% for SDAFD. Loro Piana was the best producer of fineness at Snowmass, and it is a lasting fineness – he had a 16 micron fleece at age five.

Bell's has produced three gorgeous crias thus far. She stamps her head and frame onto each of them, along with a beautiful crimp style and excellent density. She has plenty of milk and she is an excellent mama. We're expecting another stellar cria in Spring of 2025 from our Irish Meadows' Reputation son, Corteva. Corteva has spectacular fleece, and he's a 9X Champion and Judges Choice winner, too!

Bell's latest cria, Castor, arrived on 11/4/23 -- dark fawn male that looks pretty darn promising! His fleece may be the brightest ever produced here. While we agreed to sell him, we hope to still show him, and we have also retained breeding rights. DEFINITELY going to repeat this breeding, but she's been bred to our newest herdsire, Corteva, for her Spring 2025 cria.

Bells' 2022 cria arrived on 10/2/22 and he's gorgeous!! Her cria, Iapitus, has an extremely dense and curly fleece with those little rolls down the back of his neck! And he has great bone... and that gorgeous head.

Bells of Piana delivered a beautiful fawn female cria out of Snowmass Rock Solid on 7/7/21. She caught the eye of a n excellent farm in Switzerland, but we weren't quite ready to let her go.
