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

Magellan, grandson of Aussie Guns & Roses on one side and Danko on the other, boasts quite the grey pedigree, hidden behind his luxurious brown fleece. His sire, Gun's A'Blazin', is a 13-time Champ and is the densest colored alpaca in the world when he was tested in 2010. He's passed on glorious bright brown, very tightly bound ropey bundles to this boy that are just beginning to untangle as his secondaries are growing in…and we think we might be able to get into the skin. Magellan’s mom is considered the “sleeper” in the phenomenal breeding program at Renaissance Ridge. Make no mistake…Melani has taken 2 Blues and a Reserve Championship 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, likely herdsire ’12 RR Magellan…future Epic herdsire And this is unquestionably her best in 2012. Gun’s A’Blazin’ has put a fleece on this lad, who stood on a sturdy 60 pound frame at 4 months of age. We look forward to adding his fantastic genetics to the herd when he’s of age.
