Gypsy Ice has wonderful fleece that is dense, full of crimp and carries good fineness. During her show career she was as star, she boast many championships both in halter and fleece. Gypsy has proven to be an excellent mother, she breeds and births easily, her cria grow quickly and inherit her gentle personality. Gypsy's Service sire for her 2014 c ria is Snowmass XXX-Travegant is, this beautiful bay black boy has density, fineness and a bold consistent crimp, he is sired by Snowmass Matrix Majesty and his grandsire is the very famous Snowmass Matrix, we are very excited about this young male his possiblities are huge. His dam Snowmass XXXtremely Secret was Snowmass's #1 Brown show string female. Snowmass Matrix Majesty is the absolute real deal! Majesty was just awarded Dark Herdsire of the Year from the 2013 Futurity (where three of his little CCNF cria also helped him win the Get-of Sire Class) in addition to his previous awards as the Reserve Dark Herdsire of the Year at the 2011 Futurity as well as being the Fawn Champion at the 2010 Futurity.
Majesty is the genetic amalgam of some of the greatest names to ever grace the North American alpaca herd. Herdsires such as Chaccu, Legacy, Hemingway, Quechua, Matrix, Elite, Augusto, Accoyocusani, and Bueno are all present. Also present in his pedigree are the famous rock star dams PPP Prestige, 4P Isabella, PP Jesusa, and Snowmass Maree Love. Needless to say the genetics in this guy are stacked and it shows.
Snowmass Matrix Majesty displays the amazing fleece characteristics that the Quechua line has become known for: the combination of elite fineness and uniformity throughout while sacrificing nothing in density. Snowmass Matrix, Majesty's father - is truly one in a million. The fact is this stud has the Premier genetics for high curvature and ultimate fineness. He is a compact robust and well proportioned stud, perfect overall score in frame, bite, body, and reproductive anatomy. He has a fleece that extends its superior qualities over his entire frame. Matrix has what we call a Merino x Vicuna style of crimp. He has a bit more organization in the expression of crimp than a true vicuna but a very high frequency of crimp indicative in the vicuna qualities. Most importantly this stud exhibits an extreme fineness, brightness, and consistency of fineness which is seen in the extension into extremities(hip, belly, shoulder neck and head). He has held these qualities as he has aged which is exactly what we are looking and breeding for. These genetics will be a fantastic combination for Gypsy Ice's next cria! She has an outstanding male cria -Gypsy's Gyro at present who can be sold at dams side, buyers choice.
