A good deal is known about Inca's breeding qualities since he currently has 54 registered cria; their colors have generally followed close to that of the dams, and include the full range of the AOBA color set. He is proven to pass on his density, fineness, uniformity, excellent bone structure, perfect bite & conformation, and gorgeous head to his offspring.
Genetically, Inca is jam packed on both his sire's and his dam's sides. Inca's sire, Snowmass Nova (one of the best blacks ever), is the son of Snowmass Peruvian Casanova, who is the son of Peruvian Bueno.
Inca's dam, Snowmass Magic Mist, a violet-hued light rose grey, is the daughter of Incan Magic and maintained fine fiber through age 7.
Inca is light fawn in color and his fiber has a fine, Vicuna-style crimp, a crimp style featuring high frequency and low amplitude, more closely related to the pre-Columbian alpaca than other alpaca fleece types.
Vicuna style fiber is notable for both fineness and high curvature; animals bearing Vicuna-style fiber tend to maintain their fineness as they age, which is a central priority in our breeding program. Inca's fiber definitely shows this quality. His first shearing AFD was 15.8 and he is maintaining his fineness even at 11 years old.
Although Inca is a very Macho Alpha Male, he is very easy to manage. He knows his job and is very comfortable with hands on during breeding. He remains our go to stud on the farm.
