Belvedere is a gorgeous beige male with incredible fleece. His fiber is ultra fine and crimp covers his body from head to toe. His mean curvature measures an outstanding 67.2% with only 0.4% of his fibers greater than 30 microns. Equally impressive, his histogram from 2016 is almost identical to that of 2010. His sire is Snowmass Matrix, the highest selling alpaca at auction who continues to produce champions, even at 19 years of age. His dam, Snowmass Bright Stars, is a multiple Produce of Dam winner who was a consistent producer of show winning cria. We are so grateful to co-own Belvedere with Crescent Moon Ranch.

FEB 2023 Qori is an excellent mother. Very attentive to her 5 month old female cria Arctic Princess. Princess was sired by Snowmass Matrix Belvedere, at Sopris Alpaca Ranch in Co. This Matrix son is sometimes over looked, which worked out well for us!! Princess has fine, dense well organized fleece, and well start her show career at the National Fleece Show in July. Qori is bred to Vintage Cashmere's U-Taupia for a Nov cria! Pray for spots!! JULY 2019 Qori was a highly anticipated birth, and she was well worth the wait! With her Papa being sold, having her on my ranch as a future foundation female is even more exciting than when she was conceived ! She was cria tipped at 2 months old and her regrowth is proving to be as exciting as I had hoped ! Tight high frequency bundles of blinding white! Qori is growing up and becoming all I had hoped for. I recently received her first years histogram and I am very excited about this young female. Must have been some pretty tough competition at the first fleece show to place 5th!! I am excited to see what happens in the show ring once we are cleared to start showing again.

Description Top 15% Densest Grey Alpaca tested, Per Ian Watt "Harmony is a son of Aussie .38 Special, who really needs no introduction to anyone with even a passing interest in gray alpacas. He is a 15x Champion, 2x Judge's Choice, Herdsire of the Year; at the age of eight, he won the “Spirit of the Industry” recognizing the lasting quality of his fleece. Far more importantly, he imparts his bone, conformation, and elite fleece traits of extreme fineness, uniformity, density, high-frequency/high-amp crimp, and staple length to his offspring. This is especially incredible given that all of these awesome traits very rarely all go together, and .38 gives them to his get with amazing reliability. Harmony is not merely “any” .38 son, however. He is out of a daughter of Rincon Cloud, one of the other most pre-potent gray herdsires in North America. Rincon's Magnolia is one of Rincon Cloud's absolute best, a stunning, full Chilean solid silver tuxedo gray out of a truly true black dam. She has had two previous daughters, both of whom inherited impeccable conformation, perfect type, and beautiful fleece. Harmony inherited the bone of his sire along with the compact size of his dam sire, resulting in a perfectly proportioned, perfectly sized animal. His conformation is positively faultless. He inherited the awesome full fiber coverage of both parents, and a head that is the most ideal I have seen on a .38 offspring. Then, there is the not small matter of his fleece. Harmony's fleece completely redefined how I think of gray alpaca fleece. It is not just great. It is elite, and I reserve that word for only the most indisputably awesome alpaca fleeces. I am a fineness fanatic, and this fleece is fine, and fantastically uniform. These traits combine with an excellent brightness to produce a wonderfully soft hand, but it doesn't stop there. My photographs of this fleece do it no justice, because his crimp is so tight – that extreme combination of high-frequency and high-amplitude that feels springy when pulled. Incredibly, his staple is excellent, and I say “incredibly” because it is extremely rare for a fine, high-frequency fleece to have such an amazing staple. Add a terrific density that can be appreciated even on the animal, and this is one seriously elite fleece. His biopsy results confirm that he is, also, one of the densest grey alpacas yet tested ...
