**SALE PENDING** Chasqui is our very own daughter of the renowned Snowmass Matrix. She was brought to our farm as part of my quest to bring the genetics of 6Peruvian Accoyo Elite to our herd, and she is a perfect fit with her patterned fleece. Her sire probably needs no introduction to anyone in the alpaca world. Snowmass Matrix is very famous for having sold for a whacking $675,000 at auction. He is also known for stamping his get with beautiful heads, great bone, coverage, and dense, fine fleece with a high-frequency crimp. Though Matrix's dam, a Legacy Gold daughter, likely played a large part in producing this quality male, I was more interested in his sire line in bringing Chasqui here. Snowmass Quechua was almost certainly the most prepotent result of that phenomenal nic of Accoyo Elite over a Hemingway daughter. As excited as I am to have been able to bring Snowmass Quechua genetics into my herd, it is Chasqui's dam that truly sets her apart. Her dam, WRA Rhyanne, was bred in Canada from Peruvian Allianza imports that made their way there via the renowned Jolimont stud of Australia. Her grandsire, Jolimont Peruvian Pauco, was once referred to as the "Hemingway of Canada." Chasqui is a large-framed, stretchy female with heavy bone and a beautiful head. She is possessed of excellent fiber coverage, despite having been previously slick-shorn. Her fleece is true to her lineage: very fine, with good uniformity and brightness and a good handle. Her fleece has the high-frequency/high-amplitude crimp style that characterizes both Matrix and Jolimont offspring. Her staple length is excellent, even at the age of six, with a superb yield that suggests great density. Chasqui produced a harlequin appaloosa daughter ... WOW. This cria is awesome. She is also a killer dam. We will be keeping this cria -- she is not included in Chasqui's price. Chasqui has been exposed to our elite appaloosa herdsire, Que Sera's Kubota, for a 2017 cria. This should be something else ...
