HWA Plantel's Promise was one of the very few colored females and also one of the very few who held grey genetics within her heritage that was a 6Peruvian Accoyo Plantel daughter. She was a lovely fleeced fawn grey female that became very dear to Snowmass Alpacas before they sold her at auction bred to Snowmass Conopa XXX. We sadly lost Promsie unexpectedly in July of 2011 right after she had her daughter sired by Snowmass Reserved in June of 2011, who later ended up passing away in 2014. Promise's daughter, Snowmass Conopa XXX Vail was our only hope on carrying on Promsise' genetics and she has done just that. Promise would've created many more wonderful foundation females for us just like her daughter, Vail who produced Val D Lsere. We are very sad to have lost her so soon but her legacy lives within most of our herd now.

Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose (Sizzy) is a simply divine light brown, male with extremely bright fleece, full of high-frequency high amplitude Mirco bundles, as well as carrying a very dense fleece with an amazing handle. Several of the top Judges have called him "The Total Package." With him being an exceptional twelve-time champion, including the 2012 AOBA National Alpaca Show Halter Color Champion & 2012 The Futurity Halter Color Champion. Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose has been breeding for us for several years now and we couldn't be more pleased with the amount of improvement he has made to our herd. In 2014, we consigned Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose to the 2014 Amber Autumn Auction (AAA) and he ended up selling for $90,000, making him the highest-selling Snowmass Matrix Rose offspring to date. He was sold to Daryl and Shirley Krause of Amber Autumn Alpacas in Oregon. A year later we ended up acquiring half ownership of Sizzy with both of us, Amber Autumn Alpacas and Red Granite Ranch, closing Sizzy to all outside breedings. Though his offspring will be offered at both ranches and depending on the year, some outside breedings may be offered. We, Red Granite Ranch and Amber Autumn Alpacas are very happy to announce that Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose won the 2016 Huacaya Herdsire Of The Year, large breeder Division, as well as the 2017 Reserve Herdsire Of The Year Dark-colored offspring, large breeder Division. Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose was mentioned in The American Alpaca Journal, Issue 2, January 2020 in the “Black Ring Demographics” where Sizzy appeared in the top five genetic contributors to the winning black groups in the 2018-19 black ring. Impressive indeed. His ~150 Registered offspring have won around 134 championship banners and 4 AOA National Dark Male Supreme Championships as of 2020. Sizzy is the sire to RED GRANITES VAL D LSERE the 2016, 2017, and 2018 AOA National Dark Male Supreme Championship winner & LIBERTY'S MANIFEST-DESTINY the 2020 AOA National Dark Male Supreme Championship winner. 4/6 Dark Male Supreme Championship trophys have been sired by Sizzy, no other sire has accoplished this!! Breeders hoping to produce high-class winners by Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose should consider sending him females from the CONOPA, LEGIONNAIRE, JERICHO, KIRWIN, or .38 SPECIAL line. Sizzy has sired four dark supreme championship trophy's from the Conopa/Jericho lines, including multiple champions from the Kirwin, .38 Special, Jericho, and Conopa lines all put together...
