Quality breeds quality, at least most of the time! A quick look at RRoyal Stars ARI certificate will illustrate just how painstakingly the Skinners, at Snowmass Alpacas, constructed their breeding decisions to arrive at this offspring. We purchased mom as the second highest selling female at their 2007 auction.
Roy has quietly ascended to the top of our breeding program and undeniably will be a major contributor. He is out of 2 outstanding Snowmass fawns. We believe that he is a "switch hitter" and expect that he will produce both great whites and more importantly color. Mom is one of our strongest foundation females and has produced champions repeatedly. Dad is one of the best Hemingway sons with an outstanding production record, including Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass XXXtreme (brown).
He is incredibly dense, very fine, and his fleece "glows". It is extremely uniform with a baby soft hand. It breaks into long,silky, draping, opalescent locks belying his incredible fineness/density.
2009 was a breakout season for Roy. He brought raves from every judge who saw him and acquitted himself well against some of the best in the country.
Follicle density testing (Ian Watt)
Follicle density: 79.51 /mm2
S/P: 13.0:1
Dp:Ds ratio 1.42
" This is the 4th densest alpaca that we have tested in the US and the 5th in the world" (as of 6/30/09)
(For comparison, El Nino was higher at 89.5 in follicle density, but had an S/P 12.5 compared to Roy's 13.0/1.)
We have used RRoy across our herd now for three years with remarkable results in increased density and fineness. We are now using his best son RR Arturo (see his biopsy results) to replace his father in our colored program. RRoy's light fawn son, RR Bacchus just won FIRST PLACE and COLOR CHAMPION at his first show under Diana Timmerman. This is an opportunity to have one of the densest alpacas in this country working for you and improving your entire herd. Please feel free to call us to ask any questions or to discuss!
Dam: RR Rose Delilah ARI#
31332002 Medium Fawn Delilah brings Hemiaccoyo lines from both sides. It has turned out to be an excellent breeding combination, and Clementine, Delilah's mom keeps getting the job done.
Delilah is a beautifully proportioned, sturdy hembra, who has provided us with a stellar female cria for 2011. Is is conformationally flawless. She has a beautifully expressive fleece which is holding length, brightness and definition even as she matures as a breeder.
Her histograms are confirmation of her fiber excellence. What it doesn't illustrate is the extent of her prime fiber coverage over a very extensive blanket.
She was follicle density tested by Ian Watt in 2011 at age 33 months:
Density: 56.6/mm2
S/P ratio: 12.8:1
In-skin primary fiber diameter: 19.0 micron, S.D. 2.8
In-skin seconadry fiber diameter: 12.8 micron, S.D. 2.5
Comment: Excellent density well supported by low SD individual fiber population numbers and a well above average S:P ration.
These are numbers that a much better than most breeding males in this country. (KMR)
2014 Micron Count: 22.67/ 4.16/ 18.36/ 96.33
