Description

All we can say is Wow! Scepter has been showing an outstanding phenotype with extraordinary coverage & amazing head since he was first dry. His fleece is incredible as well. Pairing Ringmaster over our Pure Passion daughters we expected beautiful offspring, but Scepter is the cherry on top! He repeatedly overcomes each new expectation we have for him. Currently an 10x Champion & 4x Judges Choice Winner, Scepter is also a 6th generation champion. The complete package!

It all comes down to a perfect pairing of genetics. His sire, AA Ringmaster, is wowing us with his first crop of cria in almost every color. Ringmaster is a multi-champion, multiple Get-of-Sire winner who has produced multiple champions! He is a stocky build, with thick bones, excellent coverage, perfect conformation & stunning head. His fleece has excellent uniformity, staple length, high frequency crimp, excellent fineness & density. He has two traits in the Top 10% & 4 in the Top 25% for 2023 EPDs. This is all passed down from the superior quality of his sire, AA Troy & Principio daughter dam, AA Rosemarie. This pedigree is full of champions including MR Sizlin Rose, Matrix Rose, Matrix, Quechua, champion-producer AA Tehya, 382 Peruvian Zephyrus, Snowmass Sizzlin Hot, Snowmass Nova’s Private Reserve, and 4P Legacy. These genetics continually produce champion after champion!

His dam is a powerhouse of genetics as well! Estates Passion for Kandi is a Snowmass Pure Passion daughter. She has FIVE traits in the Top 5 or 10% for 2023 EPDs. Passion was the pinnacle of fawn breeding for Snowmass Alpacas. He embodies everything you want in a herdsire. At 16 he still carries incredible crimp style & density with a very fine, uniform fleece. Plus, his phenotype & coverage are as impressive as many yearling show alpacas. At 15.5 years of age his histogram had a 21.8 AFD, 4.0 SD, 51.7 CRV, & a 96.6% comfort factor. He is still producing champions! Scepter’s maternal grandsire is Judges Choice, 7x champ & 5x get of sire winner, Patagonia’s Ernesto. This line crossed with Ringmaster also produced our champion Regal Prince. Notable ancestors include champions Patagonia’s Lennox & Nisho.

Scepter is clearly displaying the traits that are associated with his pedigree. He has a stout, square frame with great chest capacity, a straight top line & legs & appropriate testicle size/shape. His coverage, stance & head are exceptional. He has a perfect bite & easy-going but macho personality. His fleece has a uniform & consistent high frequency crimp style through an extended blanket area. It displays superior density, extreme brightness, very soft handle & is very fine, with excellent uniformity of micron. The primary to secondary population ratio is very low & comparison of primary to secondary fiber micron is also very similar. All these traits extend down into his belly. Genotype: ee aa

We expect Scepter to pass on his prepotent traits & we are excited for him to start breeding!
