Sire: Snowmass Nova's Nuance ARI#
840847 Bay Black Nuance is an "incredible Incan Black Male from a Royal Line of Elite Fibered Alpacas in Color" from the Snowmass breeding program. Incan Magic, one of Nuance's Grandsires, has a strong history of holding fineness even with age. Incan Magic's dam remains an amazing 16 microns at 9 years of age. Nuance’s Dam, Incan Surprise, has exhibited the same fiber attributes. His sire, Snowmass Nova, has been a multiple champion and is an excellent producer. Nova sold at the Snowmass “The Making of Champions” auction in Feb. '06 for $335,000. Nuance’s pedigree of predicable fiber characteristics and award winning genetics are what we have been striving for in our breeding program. We have bred him to a number of our award-winning females and excitedly look forward to his offspring each year. Nova's Nuance is co-owned with ALPACAS of Tualatin Valley. Visit our
website for the most up-to-date information and to view his cria.
Dam: HDF Francy ARI#
1216035 Medium Silver Grey Half-Accoyo and Silver Grey, Francy's fleece has fineness, luster and density that so many greys can lack. Look at Francy's 6-year-old histogram with an AFD of 19.5. We can thank Francy’s sire, Accoyo Felix, for passing his fleece density and luster onto our pretty Medium Silver Grey girl while Francy's Dam gave her the beautiful color and fineness. Francy has consistently produced excellent cria for us, including a Silver Grey boy who’s yearling fleece just earned a 1st Place at the 2011 CABA Show.
Francy is rebred to Nuance as we keep getting awesome greys from this combination. You won't be disappointed with a purchase of Francy as she and Nuance both have outstanding genetics and production histories. You can expect another stellar cria in 2012 from Francy.
Description
Skyline’s Francisco is one of our special grey herdsires. He has an amazing Med. Silver Grey fleece that is both fine and dense – we just love his handle. No surprise given his genetics. His Sire is Snowmass Nova’s Nuance who comes from the Nova, Casanova and Bueno line as well as the Incan Magic Line. His Dam is HDF Francy who is a Med. Silver Grey out of PPeruvian Felix. Really, this is quite an impressive line-up.
Francisco has produced a number of special cria for us –his latest is a gorgeous fawn girl out of a fawn. Francisco tends to throw the color of the Dam and his cria have inherited his fine soft fleece. We are putting Francisco on our sales list, as we need to downsize both our female and our male alpacas. We will be sad to see him go as he has a gentle personality and a beautiful fleece. You won’t be disappointed with this purchase.
