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.

31332200 True Black Incredible melange of genetics is this gorgeous non fading black young lady out of our Snowmass Silver Fox, with Bueno and Snowmass Peruvian Casanova on mom's sire's side but you have to go to mom's dam, 6 Peruvian Incan Eclipse to find the true black color. 6P Incan Eclipse was one of 3 outstandining black females picked up in the last Peruvian importation,all of whom have contributed to one of the most important black breeding programs in the world.
Dad is the renowned Snowmass Royal Bronze who is notable for his incredible fineness. Mom is production dam for Snowmass Hakuna Matata, a front row black stud in the Snowmass program.
No surprise that Tempest has one of the finest fleeces we've seen. We expect that she will do very well bred to our own Snowmass Midnight Sun.
This pedigree proudly carries the flagships of the Snowmass black lines and we're proud to have Tempest "at port" at Renaissance Ridge.
Follicle testing (Ian Watt):
Density: 49.5/ mm2
Secondary: Primarty Ratio: 10.3:1
In skin primary diam: 24.2 micron
In skin secondary diam: 15.8 micron
Description
There is a lot to look for in this pedigree, especially for anyone looking to breed for black. We adopted a strategy of breeding our black females to Virtuoso's dad, Snowmass Midnight Sun, a fawn carrying the recessive black "E" allele.
It's simple...our first breeding priority was increasing fiber density, the major shortcoming in most blacks that we saw, by bringing the fiber characteristics of the lighter colors into our black and grey breeding designs.
Sunny has delivered the goods and improved our color breeding across the board, bringing Snowmass Legacy Gold's genetics into our gene pool with a vengeance.
It comes as no surprise when one reviews Sunny's show record, serial histograms and especially skin follicle testing (follicle density 63.2/mm2 and S/P 11.2 ) , which would be "off the charts" were he black instead of a black carrier. Keep in mind, that his show record was in the very competitive light fawn class, and against some of the best in the country.
Virtuoso, obviously is his dad's clone, and likewise carries the recessive black E allele from mom, an exceptional black. One only needs to look at the toes, black eye liner and black gums:
Mom, RR Tempest is a half sister to our reknowned grey herdsire, RR Gun's Kit Carson. She is one of the very few blacks to come out of Snowmass Royal Bronze, a very longstanding fixture on the Skinner's herdsire row, who is known for his lingering super-fine fleece.
It's no "fluke" that Tempest has the serial histograms that she does. What is surprising is the length that she is sporting in a brilliant non fading black fleece.
There is little to compromise in density. She has a follicle density of 49.5/mm2, an S/P 10.3, and a differential between "in skin" follicle density of less than 10 micron between her primaries and secondaries...very nice indeed, and especially in black. These are numbers to rival some of the best known whites.
This boy has a lot to offer for the discerning breeder.
