Wow! Take a look at all these TOP 1% EPDs, over 7 years!! Our "Cold Cash" is a BRIGHT white male with a sturdy and balanced frame, covered with dense, fine bundles of fleece. He has lovely consistency of fleece architecture from his hips to his chest, and down towards the belly. This is reflected in his incredible EPDs that have remained consistently (almost boringly) outstanding for 7 years! His sire, Snowmass Seven Below was Julie Skinner's "not-so-secret weapon" for consistency, and Cold Cash is proof of that point! You wanna talk RETAINED FINENESS? His AFD is 19.8 at almost 7 years of age. SDAFD is 3.2 with Cov 16.4 and only 0.9%>30! Talk about uniformity of micron!! His PEDIGREE is unrivaled: His dam is a Matrix daughter out of a Legacy/XXXtreme bloodline. On his sire's side there is a lineup of Herdsires of the Year: his sire is Herdsire of the Year Snowmass Seven Below, who is also a son of Herdsire of the Year Snowmass Sub Zero, with Accoyocusani and other notables in his bloodlines. Seven Below was one of Snowmass' top herdsires, and he is considered their "secret weapon" for passing on uniformity of micron and fleece architecture. Cold Cash had an exceptional introduction to the show ring, winning a blue ribbon and then Reserve Banner of 19 entries at the California Classic. And see how well he did as a yearling! We had to hold back on breeding on our farm for a few years, but Cash's first cria is gorgeous!! We are still breeding very selectively, but Cash is tops on our list. HIs daughter, Chungara, recently took a blue ribbon in fleece. Cold Cash is co-owned with Dave and Sheila Scroggins of Colusa Riverside Alpacas. They are known for their attention to outstanding EPDs, and they have put him to work on many of their females. He will be returning to our farm in Marin County in May, 2022 and will be available then for outside breedings.

Temptress (Tempi) is our only home-grown dam left out of Hemingway's Bogart and for that reason will stay a breeder here at Colusa Riverside Ranch. Bogart's genetics in this dam are so significant due to the fact his fineness and longevity of fineness carries through to his all his offspring. She has density of fiber that is outstanding. Tempi has sheared 8 pounds of fleece in 2020, 9.5 in 2021 and 7.0 pounds in 2023, all the while pregnant and nursing. Tempi's EPD for fiber weight is 10%. No EPDs over 25%. What I love about Tempi's EPDs is that every trait has good EPD values including staple length at 25%. She has so much genetic potential, more importantly, she is an amazing mother who will feed everyone else's crias . On her dam's side is the Accoyo line of El Nino. Tempi has good face coverage; she is a great proven mom. She comes from a long line of Dam's who will nurse other's crias. Tempi's fleece is also very fine and very uniform. All foundation dams out of Hemingway's Bogart on our farm are going to be fine, uniform and dense. Her dam is Capulet, is extremely dense. Her Mom Capulet sheared 9 pounds of fleece in 2021. Last year Temp was bred to Snowmass Cold Cash and had an amazing female cria who should prove to be a showstopper. There will be no doubt Tempi's cria will carry significant fleece fineness, uniformity, and density. Cold Cash has 5 traits in the 1% ranking. Tempi is Mother to Overture's Graceland who placed 3rd in both walking fleece and halter at nationals in 2023.
