With Elite International genetics including some of Snowmass' finest originals: Snowmass IncaAccoyo Star, Peruvian Snowbells, Peruvian Bueno, Hemingway, Snowmass Silver Pearl, Peruvian Accoyo Arctic, and Peruvian Snowmaster, how could you not be good?

As soon as she was born it was apparent Ruby had a remarkable fleece. Not only does she have one of the most exciting fleeces we've seen, but her fleece shows pervasive fineness, incredible definition, and dense bundles of bright, low micron, low amplitude, high frequency, tight crimp with long staple length.

Not only her fleece is exquisite though, her conformation is too! She shines with her GrandSire Hemingway's genetics, with her ‘Hemingway head’, lovely topknot, and perfect spear-shaped ears.

Her sire - award-winning Accoyo Snowmass Snow Legend, had a 14.4 micron fleece at 1st shearing, and his fleece has maintained it's lingering fineness, still at 20.8 microns at 9 years of age. This he has passed onto his cria.

Her dam - Hemingway's Ruth has added pervasive fineness and elite genetics to our breeding program, as well as remarkable density and lingering fineness. Even after her 8th shearing, her AFD is 21.1 microns!!!! In 2 previous breedings to Snowmass Snow Legend, Ruth threw an incredible male-Uzziah, who had a 14.5 micron count at his second shearing, and a female-Dia with a 1st count of 15.1!!

We are excited to see what her breeding to Snowmass Reminiscence will produce this Fall. Reminiscence has almost impenetrably dense fleece & a World-Class Lineage, including Peruvian Snowmaster, Snowmass Edelweis, Snowmass Legacy Gold, Snowmass Belladonna, and Snowmass Andean Gold...and this breeding will surely produce another amazing animal!!

NOTE: The cut-rate prices of our girls are NOT a reflection of their quality. We simply need to make room for the new cria coming on this year! Our loss is your gain!!
