SNOWMASS ROYAL KNIGHT Snowmass Royal Knight is the spitting image of his sire, Snowmass Royal Bronze, only he is a True Black! PERFECT! Like his sire he has extremely FINE fiber over his entire body. If you can imagine a vicuna, with fine black fleece covering its whole body and having a long staple length, you can envision Snowmass Royal Knight. His Dam is a COLOR CHAMPION purchased from Bruce Bar, a dedicated alpaca importer who brought some of the world's finest alpacas from South America to the US. Panam's Chilean Rose produced 2 color Champions then one TRUE BLACK gift from ROYAL BRONZE. Snowmass Royal Knight was one of the highly select black alpacas in the Snowmass Elite Black breeding program. Royal Knight's son's are now servicing colored SM Matrix offspring at Snowmass. That's referral enough for most of us! Royal Knight has proven to be extremely valuable in infusing FINENESS into our breeding program. We truly need many more Blacks like Royal Knight in the National Breeding program to ensure the alpaca world can bring black to the same quality in fiber as white. If you are breeding for extreme fineness, density, rock solid-macho conformation in color...don't let the opportunity to breed to this male pass you by. His breeding fee is extremely reasonable for his quality. 7 year fiber stats - 16.5 M; SD 3.5; CV 21.1; %> 30m=0.4!!! Nope, there's no typos! Snowmass Royal Knight is the real deal. He exemplifies the fiber of the future on an alpaca that's here and ready for your girls today!!

Congratulations and thank you to Kat Bouzos for her purchase of R&RR Oli's Sister! R&RR OLI'S SISTER 050R Oli's Sister is a beautiful brown female. She is gentle and an excellent mother. Oli's Sister comes to us from Ruth Elvestad's prestigious fiber farm in Alberta, Canada. She is the daughter of R&RR Alder 097L, who was one of the main herdsires at R & R Alpacas for many years. R&RR Alder is grandson of Jolimont Peruvian Pauco, considered to be one of the top 5 Australian herdsires. Oli's Sister won a Color Championship banner and Blue Ribbon at the 2006 Pacific Coast Show. With bloodlines like these, it is no wonder Oli's Sister was successful in the show ring. Offspring: On 10/21/2012, Oli's Sister had a wonderful TB female, sired by our Snowmass Rockstar XX. ESTATES ROCK STAR OCTAVIA took 1st place at the 2014 A-OK Alpaca Blast Off as well as 2nd Place at the 2014 TxOLAN Spectacular show. On 5/31/2014, Oli's Sister had a lovely Bay Black female sired by Snowmass Royal Knight. On 8/22/2015, Oli's Sister had a handsome MB male cria, sired by Patagonia's Ernesto our magnificent Judge's Choice, 7x Champion & 5x Get of Sire award winning light brown compact herdsire that improves every dam to her fullest potential. Ernesto improves on fleece crimp and uniformity; producing dynamite “best head” for all of his cria, and adding density to the amount of fleece per square inch.
