Description

To quote Julie Skinner "Royal Legend is one of their all time key Royal Challenger sons" He has extreme fineness and has continued to keep it". His AFD at age 7 (in 2013) is 20.8 microns....at age 7! His lineage is a who's who of famous alpacas featuring Hemingway, Bueno, and Augusto and there is a non Peruvian Way Back...but there isn't a ratio to claim it...so Full Peruvian is what we chose. His Dam is a Snowmass "All Time" favorite Royal white female from their key import 4Peruvian Isabella, who has since passed away. She was from a remote region known for fineness production and density- in line with Merino Sheep. Snowmass holds on to whatever genetics they can from her line, as it has been a great influence with lasting fineness and density of fleece across the board and her daughter, Queen Isabella, is living proof...couple this with Royal Challenger and a true Legend (Royal) is born. Royal Legend was on their lead show list however was injured just before show season and did not go on the tour. He recovered and they held on to him for their own breeding program. Julie chose his fleece over 50 other Fawns to enter into Nationals in 2008 and he took a respectable 3rd place in the largest class under Accoyo America Marathon. Because he was related to all Fawn and Dark through Royal Rose and Royal Reserve and many of their whites through Queen Isabella, they put Legend up for sale in the 2010 Pucara Premium Auction. He has Magnificent Fleece with extensive fineness over his entire frame, impeccable density and one of the brightest fawn fleeces in the Snowmass Herd! Because of his previously mentioned injury (aggravated at the 2010 Pucara Premium auction) Royal Legend will be selectively bred to Heaven's Hill Dark herd and those of our clients. He has 2 TB females in our herd to date... that are retained for our program! He is our secret weapon!
