Co-owned by Renaissance Ridge Alpacas and UINTA ALPACAS and residing in Utah right off of I-80 for easy transport access! Gun's A'Blazin' did in fact come into our herd in a "blaze" and took us through an incredible ride as a youngster. He was without question the best fleeced alpaca that we had seen in our herd. He went on to have a brilliant show career and start his breeding career at only 23 months of age. He was biopsied and follicle tested by Ian Watt and as of July 2010, is the densest non white alpaca ever tested by or either through him or Jim Watt's lab in Australia, of any in the world. Although we rely heavily on biopsies for density, we put equal importance on histograms and especially "hand and eye", none of which Blaze has disappointed us with. More importantly, his production has been nothing less than outstanding having produced champions in grey, black, brown and fawn. We have our own "in house" EPD system and unfortunately are unable to demonstrate the analytics on Blaze's offspring. All of the ones in our herd have been done to date (9/2015): Have a look at the data on the his page on the Renaissance Ridge website...the remarkable thing in our breeding scheme is not only that he has consistently and dramatically improved fiber density over the dams, many of whose data can be linked to, but that density has been accompanied by an across the board improvement the differential in micron between primary and secondary fiber, and an excellent SD in each fiber population. Likewise the progeny histograms support the improvement in fineness, and uniformity. Blaze has been a powerful influence in our breeding program. Density: 78.3/mm2 S:P ratio 11.2:1 in skin P 27.5 SD 3.6 in skin S 19.6 SD 3.3

Incredible melange of genetics is this gorgeous non fading black young lady out of our Snowmass Silver Fox, with Bueno and Snowmass Peruvian Casanova on mom's sire's side but you have to go to mom's dam, 6 Peruvian Incan Eclipse to find the true black color. 6P Incan Eclipse was one of 3 outstandining black females picked up in the last Peruvian importation,all of whom have contributed to one of the most important black breeding programs in the world. Dad is the renowned Snowmass Royal Bronze who is notable for his incredible fineness. Mom is production dam for Snowmass Hakuna Matata, a front row black stud in the Snowmass program. No surprise that Tempest has one of the finest fleeces we've seen. We expect that she will do very well bred to our own Snowmass Midnight Sun. This pedigree proudly carries the flagships of the Snowmass black lines and we're proud to have Tempest "at port" at Renaissance Ridge. Follicle testing (Ian Watt): Density: 49.5/ mm2 Secondary: Primarty Ratio: 10.3:1 In skin primary diam: 24.2 micron In skin secondary diam: 15.8 micron

Touchstone is a legend. After a brilliant show career he established himself as one of the most pre potent studs in our 16 years of breeding. His last show was at age 4 where he Championed with a commendation as having the finest fleece in the color class juveniles included! His crias have consistently inherited the uniformity, brightness, definition and outstanding length Touchstone maintains. They too, with limited show exposure, have taken Championships. His mark on our herd improvement has been indelible. He has raised the bar...
