Golden Thunder Creates Storm at AOBA National Auction

Snow Diamond Alpacas is proud to announce the acquisition of Sunset Hills Golden Thunder from David and Laurye Feller.

Golden Thunder was the most-talked-about lot offered in the 2011 AOBA National Auction, and one look will tell you why. With his rich, dense, abundant fleece on a solid frame, strong typey head, and air of confidence, Thunder definitely stands out in a crowd. His beautiful, well nourished fiber has an incredibly soft handle and high-amplitude crimp that is consistent throughout the staple and from head to toe. His first-year histogram showed an AFD of 16.5, and his 2011 AFD was 18.1. 

Thunder's sire is Sunset Hills Farm Andean Gold, who -- at almost 9 years of age -- took a Color Champion banner (his 9th) AND the prestigious Judges' Choice award at the 2011 Buckeye Show.

Golden Thunder himself has collected a whopping 10 Color Championships and has no intention of slowing down. At three years of age, this impressive boy is ready to start his breeding career.

Golden Thunder joins Snowmass XXXtreme (owned by Thousand Oaks Alpacas), Snowmass Alpine King (co-owned with Bella Vita Ranch), and Chance Encounter on the superstar lineup of herdsires standing at Snow Diamond Alpacas this summer. If you purchase breedings to any two of these outstanding studs, we will discount the package by $500. Give us a call for more details.
