Jeweled Incandescence

Jeweled Incandescence was our Snowmass Legacy Gold daughter's, Snowmass Golden Jewel's, first cria, sired by none other than legendary full Peruvian rose gray Incan Magic. She is an elegantly proportioned little girl, with a perfect bite and fiber coverage to the toes -- and take a look at the fiber at the fetlocks because there is crimp for the eye to see, without parting fleece. Candi, as she is affectionately known, carries one of the deepest pedigrees on our farm, thanks to her dam, and lineage traces to Legacy via her grandsire, Legacy Gold and ultimately to Bueno, through Snowmass Casanova, her great-grandsire. Why would anyone want to part with such genetics? Now, we bred Candi to MSA Cannonero, whose lineage traces to Accoyo Camilio and Hemingway, who took the color champion honors at the 2003 AWE in Redmond, WA. Thus her cria, due this fall, will represent a nexus of two powerhouse alpaca breeding programs, Snowmass and Morning Sun. We look forward to all our crias here, but this is probably one of our most-awaited births this year. The breeding was confirmed via ultrasound on 1/16/05 and we followed up by "bouncing" the cria in June.
