Currently breeding in WA state... Legato Grigio is the assimilation of the 2 most important lines that we wanted to bring to our grey breeding program. He comes by his elite fleece not unexpectedly. Dad is RR Gun's A'Blazin' who has now shown by both histograms, and follicle skin testing that he is consistantly producing fineness, density and uniformity and was a 15 time banner winner. Mom, Snowmass Golden Dreams, has been one of our best producers. We have amassed countless banners from her offspring, among whom is our pre=potent herdsire Snowmass Midnight Sun. LG has demonstrated his pepotency repeatedly in his production. AS we had hoped, he is able to transmit solid grey as a dominant, in many shades. His progeny, as tested by histograms and biopsies (to date) attest to his prepotency...take a minute to check the stats on his offspring. There is but one to date that is not still in our herd...we have retained them all. His non grey production has championed in solid colors, fawn and black in particular. His pattern appears to be a spotting, not tuxedo , pattern and we have used him on solid colors with excellent success. We have not bred him to tuxedo patterns. He has not produced any blue eyed whites. The numbers don"t lie: Histograms: 2012 16.0/ 3.9/ 23/ CF 100%/ length 90mm 2013 18.3/ 4.1/ 23/ CF99%/ length 105mm 2014 17.3/ 3.85/ 22.24/ CF 100 length 90.0 2015: 19.3/ 4.3/ 22.3/ CF 97.3 length 90mm Biopsy (Alpaca Consulting/ Ian Watt): Density 64.6/mm2 S/P ratio 11.8:1 In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 25.9 SD 2.8 In-skin mean secondary fibre diameter: 20.6 SD 2.8 Comments: Excellent density well supported by an above average S:P ratio and very uniform fiber populations, among the best recorded for this color to date. There is simply no way that we would be offering Legato Grigio, if we didn't have sons Brubeck, Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie now standing on our stud row...

Look out the pedigree and check out mom, her biopsy and serial historams, show record, and fleece and conformation pictures. She is one of our very best. Alas, I unfortunately do not have any fiber stats or biopsy on Snowmass Conopa... I'm not sure that it will be easy to make grey out of her, but she's as good as any female you'll find if you're breeding for fawn. There is just no other way we would let her go. Like her mom, and dad, she will be a female around which you can build a herd. FOLLICLE BIOPSY (Watt) Density 89.3!!! THE DENSEST FEMALE TESTED TO DATE (7/1/2014) S:P 11.9:1 In skin mean P 25.5 SD 3.8 In skin mean S 20.0 SD 2.8 2024 cria RR Kamala born 10/6/24 is a stunner by RR Starz Magnum Opus!

Full brother to RR Contessa and RR Tutankhamun...and Magnum is the best. He has it all. We will be retaining him but he is available for breeding. He is magnificent! His first offspring will be arriving late this summer 2024
