GOT WRINKLES (AKA SOFT ROLLING SKIN)? LEO'S CRIAS DO! **Leo's crias made their debut this past fall & we learned alot about elite breeding when they started arriving. The first to arrive was a Classic Dark Silver Grey out of a Classic Dark Silver Grey dam...yep...our White herdsire made sure we took notice of his first cria! Y'all might have heard me hollering & celebrating when I came around the corner of the barn & met Leo's first cria, Meadow Pointe Alpacas Leonidus' Legend. When I picked him up I thought he had a birth defect...he feels like a Sharpei...wrinkles all over his body...you can feel them but good luck finding his skin to see them but who needs to see skin anyway when you have that glistening, fine fiber to admire instead...but I digress...upon feeling all those wrinkles I had to put in a call to my mentor...she said, "welcome to the world of elite fiber." Now I know what soft rolling skin feels like!
We went shopping with one goal in mind...bring home a male that had the genetics, fineness, density, brightness, and phenotype. We knew where we were headed to shop...Snowmass Alpacas. And boy did we find EXACTLY what we were looking for in Snowmass King Leonidus! With the most stacked ARI that I've ever seen and fiber stats to make a fiber junkie's hands tremble, this boy is all that!
