Description

Owned by Quechua Enterprises, LLC.

QE Quechua’s Pendleton Moon is sired by an extraordinary sire, Snowmass Pendleton. It takes a special male to be named after Don Skinner’s favorite whiskey and the town in which he was raised.

Snowmass Pendleton is backed by the renowned Snowmass Oblivion, a son of Snowmass Elite Legend, placing this male firmly within one of the most dominant sire lines in the industry. Behind them stands Snowmass Quechua, the cornerstone of modern elite alpaca genetics, widely recognized as the driving force behind the strength, consistency, and advancement seen across today’s top programs. This powerful lineage is deeply embedded within Pendleton Moon, delivering a foundation built on generations of intentional breeding.

Phenotypically, Pendleton Moon mirrors the strength and balance of his lineage, resembling Quechua, Pendleton, and Snowmass Matrix. He presents a stout, compact frame with strong bone and exceptional coverage. His fleece is advanced in style, with a vicuna-like fineness, carrying notable density, consistency, and organization throughout.

Pendleton Moon is stout and compact with an advanced vicuna fine, dense, consistent fleece. His 2024 samples tested an average of 15.9 microns (FiberLux). His 2025 samples showed an average of 16.5 microns (FiberLux). Extremely fine and maintaining that fineness. True to his lineage.
This male has much more in his lineage; every alpaca in it reads like a line of Royalty. Each with a specific piece of treasured genetics all the way through.

"A lifetime of selection, you cannot go wrong with." Julie Skinner
