SNOWMASS SUB-ZERO
| AOA# 850316 | White
|
Snowmass Sub-Zero’s fleece is truly generations ahead of its time in its consistency and lingering fineness, and he has demonstrated prepotency with regard to passing those characteristics on to his offspring. As a five-year old working herdsire, he retained a spin fineness of just 18.0 microns and a curvature of 58.6%. In fact, as the histogram data below reveals, his measures of fleece consistency were statistically unchanged for his first five shearings. This is extraordinary. But it doesn’t stop there. His fleece is also dense and notably bright. Excellent conformation and compelling masculine presence round out this VERY complete package. His full Sollocata heritage may create an excellent diversification opportunity.
Not surprisingly, Sub-Zero’s genetics have historically been closely held and highly priced. Please note that as a restricted herdsire, Sub-Zero is unavailable for breed-backs.

Daughter of Elite Legend, a Snowmass Quechua son out of Delightful Duet, and Snowmass Alpine Breeze, Alpine Angel has Hemingway at the top and bottom of her stellar pedigree.
Description
Snowmass Zero started his show career with a second place out of 5 animals under Sr. Judge Jude Anderson at 2014 Alpacamania, who commented on his uniform fineness, density, lock structure and beautiful phenotype. He followed up with 1st place 2 year old at Alpaca Amore Affaire and even though he placed fourth at Alpacapalooza, judge Arturo Pena commented several times that Zero was the finest in the class. He earned another Blue at PNAA Showcase. Still the finest at Alpaca Amore Affaire at age 3 1/2 in 2016, Zero brought home the White Color Championship.with positive comments about his beautiful phenotype as well as his baby soft fiber.
Zero is below the top 1 snf 2% mark in the AOA EPD program, and below 4% in every category across the board at age and breeding
Snowmass Zero is my genetic dream come-true! Son of Sub-Zero, grandson of the incomparable 6Peruvian Monarch out of Snowmass Alpine Angel XX, daughter of multi Champion Elite Legend & granddaughter of Quechua, every animal in this pedigree is a Snowmass treasure.
And he has the histogram to match:
2013 X Grid Sampled at 14.3, 2,7, 18.7 2013, Zero has incredible brightness and exquisite handle.
2014 Yocom McColl 17.3 ,3.0, 17.4, .3>30, .8 medullation. 47.7 curvature.
2917 Yokom McColl 17.5, 3.2, 18.3 .8>30, 1.7 medullation,50.7 curvature
Zero is one of the sweetest, most amiable alpacas we have ever worked with.
His first cria Shiraz Extravaganza out of Accoyo America Syriana has 13.4 micon, 3.4 sd.
Perfect mouth, big boned, beautiful head and phenotype, this is Syrianas best cria by far.
His other three cria did not survive our farm move in the heat and forest fire smoke of summer, but all three were as fine as Shiraz and one from medium fawn Chique Chula was finer with more curvature.
