When the opportunity presented itself to purchase this extraordinary Snowmass Elite Legend Son, we could not pass it up. Quech22 had an abbreviated show career and an underutilized breeding history. With his phenomenal phenotype, exceptional conformation with histograms and EPD's that prove elite fineness and uniformity; we felt this guy was the Quech of a lifetime. We have his offspring on the ground and he has passed on his exceptional fleece traits.
2025 Histogram: At 12 years of age Quech's histogram numbers are unbelievably impressive, so please review it with your own eyes on this page! He is super fine(AFD 22.9, SF 22.0) and uniform (CV 19.8) with a respectable staple (95mm)! He also sheared a nice blanket weight of 8.8 lbs. Basically, Quech 22 is an anomaly in the alpaca world!
2025 EPDs: Also equally impressive:

In The American Alpaca Journal Issue 2: January 2020 published by Little Creek Farm/Accoyo America and Snowmass Alpacas, Lynn Edens writes the article titled Breeding to Win: An Analysis of the Genetics of Blue Ribbon Show Animals. Specifically analyzing alpacas in the white male classes Lynn says:
“Snowmass Elite Legend was by far the most important living sire represented in the collective pedigrees of the winning white male group: 18 of the 60 winning white males were produced by Elite Legend or descendants of his, and they were produced by 14 different breeding programs. He meets every test of prepotency for the production of show stock.”
We are offering outside breedings to select females to increase the number of his offspring and prove his capabilities. Don't miss the opportunity to have this male turn dreams into reality for your farm.
We have long been fans of Snowmass Elite Legend and feel Quech 22 carries on his legacy.
