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...

Full sister to RR Dizzy Gillespie. To be re-bred to RR Touchstone for a 2023 cria once she catches up on her weight. Touchstone has done extremely well and among his accolades, he includes 2 consecutive National Fleece Champions, a Get Of Sire win in very tough competition and a Color Championship at age 4! Ella has been a consistent production female from one of our best lines and we are looking for a repeat performance with this breeding. Her last cria from this match is the outstanding RR Tolstoy. Hoping for a repeat performance! Can be sold open or bred
