Royal Flush has headed east to Briar Run Alpacas in WV. Congrats to Rita and Ray on purchasing this elite boy. He will also stand at Highland alpacas this winter so check Briar Run's site for details. We have him bred to a couple of our very best dams in hopes for a boy to help replace his valuable genetics in a future herdsire. Our Royal Flush girls are cherished here and drumroll...his last cria here is a stunning dark rose grey boy...hope he grows up just like dad! RF's full brother just sold for $78,000! His progeny are winning big and commanding good prices (including one of the top sellers at Futurity). Genetically it appears that he is 100% Pure Alpaca with no DNA markers for Llama. Perhaps that explains his ability to throw vicuna fineness. His offspring are consistently in the 15 & 16 micron range. Breed him to grey; you get grey! Snowmass describes him and his full brother as "our 2 most influential fine fiber production studs". We feel so fortunate to have been able to obtain him; thank you Skinner family! We were looking for unique lineage and ultimate top quality. He is sire to Snowmass Silver Signature, (featured in Making of Champions II), whose breedings are sold out. Royal Flush was on Snowmass Alpacas Private Reserve herdsire list until he came to Texas. His production is phenomenal. Snowmass thinks so highly of this male that they reserved future breedings to him. Snowmass repeated the breeding of his sire and dam 3 times. Royal Bronze is full brother to Royal Flush "both these studs represent our finest producing line of Grey Black and Brown. Royal Flush is strong boned, has supreme fineness, amazing extension of character, great staple length, and bountiful luster...producing exactly what we are looking for in a colored alpaca. Vicuna fineness with added staple length and intense brightness.." - Snowmass Alpacas. Royal Flush's dam Peruvian Rosa Royal is as valuable in his genetics as his sire. She's thought to be PURE alpaca and at 7 years old had a histogram of 20.5, 3.7, 17.9, 1.9, the CV and % over 30 is what is so outstanding! His sire Andean Bronze is that exceptional dark colored alpaca whose fiber is like velvet. 2001 All-American Alpaca Futurity: 1st Place & Color Champion 2001 AOBA National Fleece Show: 1st Place 2002. Royal Flush has no spots, even distribution of color, and a black face. He can be bred to any color and has thrown beautiful blacks and browns.

We have always felt that Snowmass Legacy Gold is one of the most fantastic herdsires we have ever seen. When Tom and Judy Kania agreed to purchase this beautiful Legacy Gold Daughter with us...it was a "no brainer" and we are pleased to co-own her with them. One glance at the micron counts of her crias will tell you what sold us: Son, Royal Accent 1st yr 15.4, 2.8, 18.2, 0.6. 2nd yr 17.9, 3.4, 19.1, 0.8. CURV 55.3 (can you say VICUNA). Daughter, Royal Asset 14.0, 3.7, 26.3, 0.5 CURV 55.4! Her sire Legacy Gold holds the distinction of being the genetic improvement upon his sire, 4Peruvian Legacy, that enabled Snowmass to sell Legacy in the Spring of 2000. LG has won major awards at every level and at every stage of his development including back to back Breed and Color Championships at the 1999 & 2000 Futurity. A proven Herdsire whose cria have likewise excelled on the show circuit (Invincible, Arc Angel to name just two). He truly took our breath away when we saw him...the most show-stopping male we've ever seen. Her dam remains one of the finest and densest production dams in Snowmass' world famous herd. At 6 years old she keeps an AFD of 17.9. No matter whom Velvet Accent has bred to, the fineness and consistency of color and fleece is remarkably ROYAL. Her previous son was exported to Peru's top elite herd with the specific task of helping them bring back the vicuna fineness and characteristics that have been lost due to focus on volume. She is vicuna in her quality of fleece but even better as she adds staple length, brightness, and lack of medulation. She is the epitome of ROYAL ALPACA. Velvet gave us a fantastic son from Snowmass Royal Rose who has already won 4 banners and is breeding! She had an ultrafine brown boy from Snowmass Royal Flush! Bred to Snowmass Porteus, she gave us a fawn girl who looks to be one of Porteus' best yet and one of her best as well! Well she did it again, Velvet gave us a black beauty from Bright Horizon. We could never part with her with these fabulous genetics that she has given us.
