Co-owned by Renaissance Ridge Alpacas and UINTA ALPACAS and residing in Utah right off of I-80 for easy transport access! Gun's A'Blazin' did in fact come into our herd in a "blaze" and took us through an incredible ride as a youngster. He was without question the best fleeced alpaca that we had seen in our herd. He went on to have a brilliant show career and start his breeding career at only 23 months of age. He was biopsied and follicle tested by Ian Watt and as of July 2010, is the densest non white alpaca ever tested by or either through him or Jim Watt's lab in Australia, of any in the world. Although we rely heavily on biopsies for density, we put equal importance on histograms and especially "hand and eye", none of which Blaze has disappointed us with. More importantly, his production has been nothing less than outstanding having produced champions in grey, black, brown and fawn. We have our own "in house" EPD system and unfortunately are unable to demonstrate the analytics on Blaze's offspring. All of the ones in our herd have been done to date (9/2015): Have a look at the data on the his page on the Renaissance Ridge website...the remarkable thing in our breeding scheme is not only that he has consistently and dramatically improved fiber density over the dams, many of whose data can be linked to, but that density has been accompanied by an across the board improvement the differential in micron between primary and secondary fiber, and an excellent SD in each fiber population. Likewise the progeny histograms support the improvement in fineness, and uniformity. Blaze has been a powerful influence in our breeding program. Density: 78.3/mm2 S:P ratio 11.2:1 in skin P 27.5 SD 3.6 in skin S 19.6 SD 3.3

Description

If you had to pick a female in your herd who is the most unlikely "sleeper", it has got to be Magellan's mom, Melani. Make no mistake...she has taken 2 blues and a reserve in brown at a tough fleece show, has excellent analytics by histogram and follicle skin testing, especially in brown, but...she produces far better increment improvement in her offspring, over her phenotype and analytics, than just about any foundation female...not undesirable when you are now 4 for 4 boys: '08 RR Gun's Gold Panner...herdsire rose grey '09 RR Gun's Next of Kin...silver grey herdsire '11 RR Lorenzo di Medici...true black , gotta be a herdsire And this is unquestionably her best in 2012. Gun's A'Blazin' has put a fleece on this lad, who stands on a sturdy 60 pound frame at 4 months of age, that is reminiscent of a Persian lamb coat my mother prided in the '50s. Glorious bright brown, very tightly bound ropey bundles that are just beginning to untangle as his secondaries are growing in...and we think we might be able to get into the skin. We don't participate in an EPD program, because we don't believe that it will help our specific breeding plan, but we can show from our "in house" data that Melani would be the "goose that laid the golden egg" in an EPD user's program.
