Snowmass Elite Legend is everything one could hope for in an elite huacaya Herdsire! A son of the legendary Snowmass Quechua, EL combines those qualities so often found in several alpacas all into one superb package: density, fineness, and uniformity the likes of which are rarely seen together, combined with a high propensity to pass those traits on to his progeny. He breeds as "true" as any Herdsire that we have seen here in 16 years of breeding alpacas and the results are really impossible to dispute. It is no coincidence that his offspring won both the male and female white championships at the 2011 Futurity, nor that one of his sons, CCNF Elixir, was both the Light Champion and as well as the Judges' Choice Huacaya Male at the 2012 Futurity. In fact 2012 marked the third year in a row that Elite Legend was awarded Futurity Light Herdsire of the Year, putting him in some very exclusive company! Elite Legend's offspring at CCNF have been nothing short of phenomenal and we anticipate his sons Elixir, CCNF Defiance, and CCNF Hyperion taking their places in our Herdsire stable in 2013. After holding a partial interest in this spectacular male for a few years, as of January 2013 full ownership of Elite Legend has reverted back to his birth farm. We are keeping this listing up as a reference.

We purchased her at the 2012 Snowmass Auction. Boy are we glad we did. Phenotypically she is a true-to-type young maiden. She has a compact, well-proportioned frame. Her medium fawn fleece is remarkable in uniformity of micron, character and color and exhibits a super soft handle. But rest assured, there is a genetic powerhouse lurking underneath her sweet and pretty exterior. . . . Her sire, Snowmass Royal Challanger has proven himself by producing an extraordinary consistency of fineness, color and extensive fine wool coverage from head to toe on his progeny. Lynnea's dam, Lilly of the Valley adds a dimension of greatness to every one of her offspring with any male she has been matched with. Having said all that, she is simply stunning.
