Sire: Snowmass Midnight Sun ARI#
30820425 Light Fawn Sunny has been very effective as a herdsire in our breeding program. He has brought the fleece characteristics one would expect in a light fawn multi champion and he has consistantly put those charactistics into clors from fawn through black...producing banners in his offspring.
Sure he can produce at least 505 black when bred to black (he has exceeded that), but look at the fiber analytics on our webpage, in both micron and density...especially in black.
He not only has improved micron all the dams that he has been bred to but has consistantly produced densities over 50, even in balck and his offspring are all in the top percentages of all blacks sampled through Alpaca Consulting USA, Ian Watt and includes RR Belleza Nera, the densest female alpaca in ANY color that he has biopsied as of 9/17/13..a striking blue black female.
Sunny's density is not too shabby:
Follicle testing (Ian Watt)(6/30/09)
Follicle density:63.17/mm2
S/P 11.2:1
Dp:Ds ratio: 1.51
He is a utility breeder who will fit into any color breeding program and raise across herd statistics across the color spectrum.
We are trying to keep a relatively small herdire row and Sunny's genetics have been well represented in our herd, so he is also being offered for sale.
He's young and has a strong libido. He settled his first female at 17 months.
Dam: RR ROSE CARMEN -SOLD - MAKER OF CHAMPIONS! ARI#
31331982 Medium Brown Carmen is a stunning rich brown, compact, beautifully proportioned GnR daughter who boasts very uniform, bright, well defined, lengthy fiber.
The judges sure liked her and they sure love her daughters too who have taken championships in the ring. She has been one of the Guns n Roses daughters that we have come to cherish in our program as a foundation female with outstanding production and excellent color genetics including production of a black herdsire.
Skin biopsy through Ian Watt:
Density: 50.3/mm2
S/P: 10.3:1
In-skin primary fiber diameter:
19.7 micron, SD 2.7
In-skin secondary fiber diameter:
14.1 micron, SD 2.2
Comments: "Very good density well supported by an excellent fiber population differential with excellent SDs and a very good S:P ratio make this a breeding female of significant potential."
We were thrilled with the 2014 offering of RR Billie Holiday out of Legato Grigio which we repeated for 2015 and look at the bottom picture to see what we got!!! needless to say, we are going for a three-fer... Carmen is being sold with her STUNNING female cria RR Hera if sold before weaning! An amazing opportunity!!!
Service Sire: RR ADAGIO ARI#
32661910 True Black Due Date: 7/1/2016 Adagio is taking on an important role in our program. He's a true black out of 2 greys and 1 of 2 Kit Carson's son that we are keeping on our herdsire row.
He is conformastionally strong with a very fine fleece that is beautifully structured and organized.
Mom's no slouch either.
She has dense, uniform fiber and the sustained fineness that made her sire Snowmass Drambuie's Braveheart a major contributor on Snowmass Alpacas stud row.
The pedigree is all there, as are the analytics. The boy is setting his sights to work his way into a grey breeding program. He just might be the guy for the astute breeder who stands on the side of grey x grey breeding being associated with "lethal grey".
6/7/2014 Micron Count: 18.87/ 3.92/ 20.79/ 99.17
Adagio was too young to show as a juvie and unfortunately had a tender fleece as a yearling but will show as a 2 year old with a superb handle and uniformity in a long well organized staple.
It's easily explained when looking at his follicle testing;
Follicle Biopsy:
Density: 58.2
S:P 11.6:1
In skin mean P: 26.8. SD 2.9
In skin mean S 22.1 SD 2.8
Are you kidding me? He not only has superior density, especially in black, but both his primary and secondary fiber populations have SD less than 3.0 and an incredible P-S differential of 3.3 microns!!
Description
Carmen is one of our favorite GnR daughters and had a brilliant show career. What a thrill it is to see her first offspring out of Midnight Sun. Carmen is a champion in brown and has had excellent serial histograms and a follicle skin testing by Ian Watt not only for follicle density and S/P ratio but a differntial between her primary and secondary fibers of just 5.6 microns...very impressive and quite obvious in a very soft handling fleece...like butter!
Mona Lisa is all that we would expect out of Snowmass Midnight Sun. "Sunny" has had a brilliant show career, excellent analytics (including Watt biopsy of 63.17/mm2 and S/P of 11.2:1) and consistant excellence of production in our herd, producing two of the densest female alpacas in the US to date (RR BELLEZA NERA and RR Abigail Adams) (watt).
We bred her to our RR Arturo, whose biopsy stats are outstanding for density, S/P ratio and P-S differential an got this stunning little boy RR Warhol who will be a nice addition to your show team. He is not only adorable but has stunning fleece at shearing.
Mona has been bred to our RR Adagio for what we expect will be another beautiful cria. Both Mona's mom and dad are carriers of a black allele and produced outstanding blacks, and we will try to pull black with this breeding.
Mona is also a sweet girl who is easy to work with. She has produced Allesandra who is excellent and on our showstring and has many productive years ahead of her.
