RR ANASTASIA-SOLD- Phenomenal producer!!
Huacaya, Female, Proven | Medium Fawn
ARI# 31620291, D.O.B. 9/12/2010,
Sire: Snowmass RRoyal Stars ARI#
30820456 White SOLD
Quality breeds quality, at least most of the time! A quick look at RRoyal Stars ARI certificate will illustrate just how painstakingly the Skinners, at Snowmass Alpacas, constructed their breeding decisions to arrive at this offspring. We purchased mom as the second highest selling female at their 2007 auction.
Roy has quietly ascended to the top of our breeding program and undeniably will be a major contributor. He is out of 2 outstanding Snowmass fawns. We believe that he is a "switch hitter" and expect that he will produce both great whites and more importantly color. Mom is one of our strongest foundation females and has produced champions repeatedly. Dad is one of the best Hemingway sons with an outstanding production record, including Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass XXXtreme (brown).
He is incredibly dense, very fine, and his fleece "glows". It is extremely uniform with a baby soft hand. It breaks into long,silky, draping, opalescent locks belying his incredible fineness/density.
2009 was a breakout season for Roy. He brought raves from every judge who saw him and acquitted himself well against some of the best in the country.
Follicle density testing (Ian Watt)
Follicle density: 79.51 /mm2
S/P: 13.0:1
Dp:Ds ratio 1.42
" This is the 4th densest alpaca that we have tested in the US and the 5th in the world" (as of 6/30/09)
(For comparison, El Nino was higher at 89.5 in follicle density, but had an S/P 12.5 compared to Roy's 13.0/1.)
We have used RRoy across our herd now for three years with remarkable results in increased density and fineness. We are now using his best son RR Arturo (see his biopsy results) to replace his father in our colored program. RRoy's light fawn son, RR Bacchus just won FIRST PLACE and COLOR CHAMPION at his first show under Diana Timmerman. This is an opportunity to have one of the densest alpacas in this country working for you and improving your entire herd. Please feel free to call us to ask any questions or to discuss!
Dam: SNOWMASS GOLDEN DREAMS ARI#
850320 Dark Fawn Her sire, Legacy Gold, sold for $500K at the Snowmass 2006 auction. Small wonder. He is sire to the incomparable Snowmass Invincible.
Her dam is also dam to Snowmass Nova, Snowmass Drambuie's Braveheart and Snowmass Magic Midnight. Now there's a genetic power house.
Her 2007 cria, Snowmass Midnight Sun now stood on our herdsire row after winning multilpe championship banners and coming back with not only incredible histograms, but on of the very best follicle density skin biopsy performed by Ian Watt at alpaca consulting and a glowing review of his fiber breeding potential by Paul Vallely in Australia. Check him out on our website to breed for these incredible genetics.
Dreams didn't disappoint us in 2008, bring us RR Rose Encatada, out of our own Guns n Roses. She is the "cream of the crop" and is an outstanding brown female. Encatada has already taken her first championship banner at age 8 months.
She also has been one of our best producers and mom to RR Arturo, now on our herdsire row. He boasts an outstanding show record and some of the best analytics by histograms and skin biopsies that we have seen.
And that's not all...Anastasia...only produced 2 of the best we have manufactured; RR Mercutio and the incomparable RR Verona.
Small wonder that she is rebred to RR Gun's A'Blazin...we'd be happy with any that he has produced with Golden Dreams...but are hoping for a Legato Grigio sequal.
This is one dam that we wish that we could keep, but at our size we have to be satisfied that her genetics dominate our herd and she still has years of production to invigorate another program.
She is very special.
Service Sire: RR DUKE ELLINGTON ARI#
35113522 Medium Silver Grey Due Date: 4/15/2019 We couldn't have ordered up a more desired Legato Grigio son to carry on our "modern" grey breeding program. Duke Ellington is out of one of our very best production females.
He is a stunning "blue roan". We expect that he will show the same pattern of dominant grey inheritance as his sire, RR Legato Grigio. LG has been one of the most prepotent males that we have worked over the years and his production rivals that of his renowned sire RR Gun's A'Blazin'.
He has had a very strong showing against competition and has superlative analytics in his skin biopsies done through Ian Watt:
Follicle density: 68.9/cm2
S/P: 10.5:1
in skin primary micron: 25.0 SD 3.3
In skin secondary micron: 20.7 SD 3.0
We will retain breedings if sold
Description
Anastasia is RRoyal Stars' firstborn. She has worked out just fine...
Within our herd she is the "goose that lays the golden egg". Mercutio and Verona are 2 dazzling offspring whose fleeces are as bright, organized and uniform as any that we have seen and it is very densely packed onto a perfect frame.
Anastasia acquitted herself well in competition. She carries top genetics both top and bottom.
She is the quintessential foundation female. Check out her progeny.
She has given us gold in the past, but we are trying for silver with our outstanding junior herdsire, RR Duke Ellington!
