Well, what else would you name the son of Snowmass Matrix CASHmina and Snowmass SEVEN BELOW??
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 borne out by his incredible EPDs that have remained consistently (almost boringly) outstanding for 4 years. His sire, Snowmass Seven Below was Julie Ski... |

Lauca was declared the best cria of the season by an experienced evaluator of alpacas. She is a very feminine girl with perfect conformation--good bone and balance, and bright white fleece with medium frequency crimp. She has an incredibly heavy fleece, and has been in the top 1% EPD for fleece weight for 6 years and counting... Her 2019 cria scored 20 out of 20 points for fleece weight in the 2020 National Fleece Show, proof that this is a heritable trait!
She is a wonderful moth... |

This girl weighed 26.6 lbs at birth. 50 lbs at 1 month, and 65 lbs at 2 months! More importantly, she is absolutely gorgeous, with dense, well-organized, buttery bundles exhibiting excellent crimp and fleece architecture, way down towards the belly.
Chungara is beige, with a tiny medium brown spot on her back, so she should be able to produce darker colors.
She is my first alpaca to take full points, 20/20 in weight at the AOA National Fleece Show and the PAOBA fleece show. One judge commented on the good skirting, so that weight is all good fleece! And she's a sweetheart, to boot--Very calm and unafraid of humans.
I was looking forward to taking Chungara into the show ring, but she's ready to breed. She comes with a breeding to any of our males--I'd suggest a line breed on Matrix with our Lord of Sipan. Or try our Nautilus son, Accoyo America Tempest.
And, if you are developing a breeding program, I'd discount a package of Chungara with her dam, Hawkey's Lauca. The two are very close, and would love to stay together.
