Snowmass Matrix is truly one in a million. The fact is this stud has the Premier genetics for high curvature and ultimate fineness.

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.

Mystique knocks it out of the park again. Crown Jewel is one of my favorites of the 2022 cria crop. His fleece is buttery soft and fine, with great density, brightness, and staple length. The consistency of the fleece is evident as soon as you touch him. Be sure to check out his histogram report. Crown Jewel is another gorgeous black from Magavin and out of our beautiful Mystique. He won CC in hater and Walking Fleece at his very first show and hasn't stopped since then. This guy is the real deal for sure. We can't wait for him to begin his breeding career. Congratulations to Alpagas de Charlevoix on their purchase of Crown Jewel at the Parade of Champions Auction on 6/1/2024. He now has confirmed pregnancies with crias due in 2025. We are so proud of this beautiful male. He has matured into an absolutely stunning herdsire. Color genotype Ee a1a2 non-grey
