We knew that Arturo was going to be extraordinary as soon as his fleece was dry. His namesake, Ken's father (Arthur), would have been 100 years old the day Arturo was born. We also knew that dad, our own Snowmass RRoyal Stars was a "dilution" white, with fleece density in the top 1% of alpacas biopsied by Ian Watt, as was his mom RR Rose Encantada and waited with confident expectations until the results came in. Skin biopsy report: (Ian Watt) Density: 76.7/mm2 S/P ratio: 14.2:1 In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 21.7 SD 2.9 In-skin mean secondary fiber diameter: 18.5 SD 2.4 Comments: " An elite alpaca in all fleece respects! There is nothing to add to what the numbers clearly say..." Want fineness...look at his histograms. His histogram at 36 months--> AFD 17.5/ SD 3.6/ CV 20.8/ CF 100% and curve 55.0 Dg/mm is one that would make any cria proud! He is a stunning male and of all the ribbons and banners that he has racked up, the one that we're most proud of is "Best Hand" at MAPACA, under Jude Anderson...that says it all! PLUS...HE MAKES SOLID GREY... Arturo has established his genetics indelibly in our herd and made many Champions and banners. He can do the same for yours...

Description

If you are serious about breeding for grey, it is likely that you are familiar with both Snowmass Drambuie's Braveheart and Incan Magic, both of whom spent quality time on the Skinner's stud row. Charms has not only the pedigree, but superfine, super bright with excellent uniformity across her blanket. Her first cria, RR El Greco is a magnificent true black out of our own Snowmass Midnight Sun. For 2012, we took her in a grey direction with RR Gun's Kit Carson, with RR Belladonna a champion grey daughter only to be followed by RR Jasmine, a gorgeous true black full sister. We followed up 2015 with a breeding to RR Arturo. He is off the charts in his analytics both by serial histograms and follicle skin testing and has impressed in the ring and fleece shows. His is a fleece, that even as he matures, invites your hand and won't let it escape. That cria, RR Georgia O'Keefe was all that we could ask for. She is a stunning rose grey with fleece that belies the outstanding metrics of her dad. Charms has had 5 cria 3 true black, 2 tux grey. They have all been quality alpacas with an excellent record of banner acquisitions in competitive shows...and she is expecting another Arturo cria in September. These are lines that you will not find elsewhere in grey breeding programs...
