Sire: RR ARTURO -Makes Champions! ARI#
31620420 Medium Brown We knew that Arturo was going to be extraordinary as soon as his fleece was dry. His namesake, Ken's father (Arthur), would have been 100 years old the day Arturo was born.
We also knew that dad, our own Snowmass RRoyal Stars was a "dilution" white, with fleece density in the top 1% of alpacas biopsied by Ian Watt, as was his mom RR Rose Encantada and waited with confident expectations until the results came in.
Skin biopsy report: (Ian Watt)
Density: 76.7/mm2
S/P ratio: 14.2:1
In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 21.7 SD 2.9
In-skin mean secondary fiber diameter: 18.5 SD 2.4
Comments:
" An elite alpaca in all fleece respects! There is nothing to add to what the numbers clearly say..."
Want fineness...look at his histograms. His histogram at 36 months--> AFD 17.5/ SD 3.6/ CV 20.8/ CF 100% and curve 55.0 Dg/mm is one that would make any cria proud!
He is a stunning male and of all the ribbons and banners that he has racked up, the one that we're most proud of is "Best Hand" at MAPACA, under Jude Anderson...that says it all! PLUS...HE MAKES SOLID GREY...
Arturo has established his genetics indelibly in our herd and made many Champions and banners.
He can do the same for yours...
Dam: RR LENA HORNE* ARI#
35117582 Medium Fawn Lena Horne is a sturdy foundation female. Her first pregnancy was an outstanding black son, Harry Potter. She has passed on the density that we have come to expect from her lines. We are using her roan son RR Sherlock Holmes to continue the RR Roan program.
As done through Ian Watt at Alpaca Consulting USA, Lena is one of our densest roans:
Density: 71.4 /mm
Secondary:Primary fiber ratio: 12.4:1
In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 27.0 µ Standard Deviation: 4.0 µ Range: 19.3 µ to 38.0
In-skin mean secondary fiber diameter: 21.4 µ Standard Deviation: 3.4 µ Range: 12.7 µ to 35.9
She had a beautiful bay black female in 2020 RR Madam Justice, who is stunning and was sold separately. Her 2021 cria, RR Daisy Buchanan is a beautiful female who looks exactly like her multiple champion sire, RR Touchstone. Lena has been bred to RR Modigliani, a dark rose grey stunner for another winner.
Service Sire: RR DIZZY GILLESPIE ARI#

We are thrilled by the production of RR Rose La Reina, Dizzy Gillespie's mom who produced the 2 densest females biopsied through Ian Watt, as of oct 2015.
The icing was on the cake with the coming of Dizzy Gillespie who has a superior phenotype in solid rose grey, with fleece "to die for". He is the 2017 AOA National Fleece blue ribbon grey, both rose and silver combined.
He also has excellent follicle density testing by skin biopsy:
Follicle density: 61.8/cm2
S/P ratio: 10.8:1
Mean primary follicle diameter (in skin): 26.8 SD 3.6
Mean secondary follicle diameter (in skin): 23.8 SD 3.3
Dizzy was breeding by his second birthday and his cria are outstanding and he is making gorgeous roans!
Description
Elsa promises to be an outstanding producer with a cria on board by Dizzy Gillespie, our roan (modern grey) superstar.
Among other selected phenotypic traits, she is the beneficiary of 5 generations of selection by both histogram and follicle testing.
Her parents are 2 of the best that we have tested over the 15 years that we have been using skin biopsies with not only superior density, but also uniformity (Primary minus Secondary micron and associated standard deviations) but also very superior S/P ratios which is obvious in "the hand".
There is sustained fineness on both sides.
She also has a high likelihood of carrying a black allele so bred to black she might produce a black .
If one looks at the pedigree, it reflects the best that we have selected for in our herd including birthing and vigor.
