Prada is one of our farm's most reliable dams with a substantial frame and strong, straight bone structures. She is protective and watchful and is both patient and generous with her nursing cria; she is certainly a consistent milk producer. Prada is one of those dams who has "set and forget" crias: She sets them on the ground and it's like you can almost forget about them because she gets them off to such a strong start. Prada is bred to our own dark rose grey stud, Barneby (due date 6/8/2016). Noteworthy in Prada's pedigree is Top of the Hill Trouble, 4Peruvian Legacy and Peruvian Spirit of Hemingway.

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. 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. He had not been bred to tuxedo patterns in the past (at his birth farm), but we have bred him to several of our tux girls who have produced tux cria. 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.
