It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Reserved on October 14, 2021. This stunning dark roan stud with brilliantly bright fleece comes from highly selective combinations of elite Peruvian color genetics. Snowmass Reserved's sire, Snowmass Royal Reserve, linage provides indisputable excellence in colored huacaya alpacas. Two memorable "uncles" are Snowmass Royal Challenger and Snowmass XXXtreme. Snowmass Royal Reserves dam line is equally notable. Snowmass Reserved's paternal grand-dam, Snowmass Canagalli Rose, was a Futurity Champion and came from Peruvian Import, 5Peruvian Cangalli. The Cangalli breeders were very well known for some of the finest colored alpacas ever imported. Snowmass Reserved never placed below a first place in halter classes. Overall throughout his carrier, he had won five first-place ribbions and three Championship banners, two of which were awarded to him at the 2009 and 2010 Futurity, the other at the 2010 Great Western Alpaca Show. His long-lasting fine, dense, bright fleece always drove him to the top of his class, which is what he passes on to his offspring. Snowmass' description of Snowmass Reserved at the 2010 Genetic Advancement Sale: Snowmass Reserved is one of those cries we were excited about from the moment he was born. He was truly one of the most impressive dark colored males born to us in 2007. His name was easy as we knew right away he was a KEEPER so "RESERVED" became his name. His sire, Snowmass Royal Reserve, is a brother to Snowmass Royal Challenger and showed and stood hand in hand in Championships with Royal Challenger at each of the shows he was in. Snowmass Royal Reserve is unique to his brother in that his dam is one of our finest Peruvian Cangalli lines produced. Cangalli is a breeders name in Peru that proved to carry some of the finest color alpacas we had ever screened for purchase and why we named the first import we purchase from this breeder Peruvian Cangalli. We bred Cangalli to Accoao Snowmaster and produced Snowmass Cangalli Rose who took Color Futurity Champion in her day, all of which makes Snowmass Reserved's sire lineage so influential. Snowmass Reserved's dam, 5Peruvian Tapara is a highly selected and screened 5Peruvian import that we also selected to purchase for her very fine color fleece. With only 29 offspring registered under AOA they have won a total of 39 Championship banners and 58 First place ribbons.

Please meet our 4X COLOR CHAMPION golden show girl, who produces the most exquisite dark fleeced animals!! Irish Meadows' My Lacy is the true testament of how far a fawn female can go to produce color with no sign of dark colored animals throughout her pedigree, the darkest being fawn, no sight of brown, black, or grey. As the first ever Sistina's Accoyo Destinati offspring, she is very special. Her sire is an 8X CHAMPION including a champion win at the AOBA National's. At her first show as a juvenile she pulled down the Color Champion ribbon, then again at her second show! She went on to win a total of 4-color champion banners, out of attending six different shows. One Color Champion win being at the prestigious AOA National Show. The biggest question was, will her offspring carry her fleece qualities? The answer, YES! Her 2017 son, Red Granites Lapu (Sired by Kirwin) took two Reserve Color Championships at the 2020 AOA National Show, one in Fleece and the other in halter . All together he is a 5X CHAMPION. Her 2016 daughter, Red Granites Sizlin Lakota (Sired by Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose) was the 2017 ABR Fall Festival Alpaca Show Halter light Female Reserve Champion winner. Her 2018 daughter, Red Granites Larkspur (Sired by Snowmass Reserved) was the 2020 TXOLAN Alpaca Spectacular Halter Reserve Champion winner. UPDATE 2020: My Lacy threw a BAY BLACK male with our super-stud male -- Red Granites Val D Lsere!! Fine, extreme density, and excellent brightness, a future champion in rotation, for sure! See his fleece picture under our 2020 Cria Fleeces in photo albums, his name is Red Granites Legit By Val D Lsere. To date 12/28/2021 Legit has 9 firsts 3 Reserve Color Championships and 3 Color Championships. My Lacy is bred to Aragon for a 2022 cria, after this we plan on breeding her to Alydar for a 2023 cria.... Fiber and Fleece Description She displays a very bright and shiny, small zipper crimped, and butter soft fleece, which has stayed in low micron number through her life.

Congratulations to Sundancer Alpacas on purchasing Larkspur!

Red Granites Larkspur has a beautiful medium brown fleece with great structure, density, and fineness. As you can see in the micron test SD of 2.7 and CV of 15 are great numbers, then you add in 0.2 microns over 30 - WOW! This combo of the sire, Snowmass Reserved, and Irish Meadows' My Lacy is going to continue to produce these numbers with Larkspur. My Lacy has never had an SD over 3.1 since 2013 and a CV over 16.8. Soooo, our recommendation for Larkspur's breeding would be Red Granites Val D Lsere the three-time AOA Supreme Champion and 20 time Judge's choice winner. Red Granites Larkspur is going to help improve any herd. If you have any questions about Red granite's animals, please give us a call, Marc 303-906-7739 or Sharon 303-906-4279.

Maternal Brother: Red Granites Lapu, a multi-champion, including the 2020 AOA National Show black reserve male champion, superfine black male sired by Kirwin.
