QE Quechua's Round Up

Co-owned with Ironhide Alpacas, Cadence Rarden. Only 3 limited breedings in total will be offered.

QE Quechua’s Round Up is an exciting light brown male carrying an exceptional lineup of elite Snowmass genetics, including Snowmass Oblivion, Snowmass Paso Robles, Snowmass Pure Passion, and Snowmass Everlasting Legend (standing stud in Poland).

His sire, Snowmass Pendelton, is a striking light brown herdsire for Quechua Enterprises, LLC, sired by Futurity Judges’ Choice winner Snowmass Oblivion and out of Snowmass Paso Lovely, a powerful cross of Snowmass Paso Robles and PC Running Late.

On the dam side, QE Snowmass Purity’s Passion brings equally impressive credentials. She is a daughter of Snowmass Everlasting Legend, now standing in Poland, and out of a Snowmass Pure Passion daughter backed by a Snowmass Royal Rose dam—further reinforcing the depth and consistency of this pedigree.

With a remarkable 6-inch staple length, Round Up immediately commands attention. His fleece is extremely dense, fine, and highly aligned, maintaining elite organization and uniformity well into the extremities, a trait that truly separates breeding males of this caliber. His fiber is also extremely soft to the touch, hinting even more at his incredible uniformity.

His pedigree represents generations of intentional, high-level breeding, blending fineness, uniformity, brightness, and long-lasting performance into one promising young sire. The influence of these legendary Snowmass lines brings together some of the most sought-after traits in the industry.

Between his advanced staple length, elite fleece characteristics, and powerhouse lineage, QE Quechua’s Round Up is a male we are proud to welcome to Red Granite Ranch & Ironhide Alpacas.
