Sarita is the first cria born on our ranch. Her fiber has outstanding brightness and fineness. Her sire is NWA Haldane, Ltd who is a Hemingway son. Her dam has Vengador in her line.

Snowmass Bright Stars is a very unique white female who’s sired by Snowmass Chaccoyo, a most handsome son in line with CCNF Arch Angel, both sired by Snowmass Legacy Gold. Bright Stars dam, Snowmass Silver Star, is one of the best Silver Grey females ever produced by Snowmass Alpacas and is also the dam to Snowmass Enlightenment, making Bright Stars a sister to Enlightenment. Her first cria, Snowmass Matrix Belvedere, is a gorgeous biege male.

Snowmass Bright Stars has been bred back to Matrix for a September 2010 cria.

Snowmass Matrix Belvedere is a son of Snowmass Matrix, the highest selling alpaca in history. We are excited to have Belvedere and his dam join the Mountain Sky Ranch family. He is a gorgeous beige with hints of fawn grey. Call now to schedule a ranch visit to see this amazing young man.

Alpacas have been domesticated for more than 5,000 years. They are one of Mother Nature’s favorite farm animals. They are sensitive to their environment in every respect. The following physical attributes allow alpacas to maintain their harmony with our Mother Earth.

• The alpaca’s feet are padded and they leave even the most delicate terrain undamaged as it browses on native grasses.
• The alpaca is a modified ruminant with a three-compartment stomach. It converts grass and hay to energy very efficiently, eating less than other farm animals.
• Its camelid ancestry allows the alpaca to thrive without consuming very much water, although an abundant, fresh water supply is necessary.
• The alpaca does not usually eat or destroy trees, preferring tender grasses, which it does not pull up by the roots.
• South American Indians use alpaca dung for fuel and gardeners find the alpaca’s rich fertilizer perfect for growing fruits and vegetables.
• A herd of alpacas consolidates its feces in one or two spots in the pasture, thereby controlling the spread of parasites, and making it easy to collect and compost for fertilizer.
• An alpaca produces enough fleece each year to create several soft, warm sweaters for its owners comfort. This is the alpaca’s way of contributing to community energy conservation efforts.

Java is our youngest cria of 2009. She is the friendliest alpaca on the ranch and is a perfect public relations animal.
