To quote Julie Skinner "Royal Legend is one of their all time key Royal Challenger sons" He has extreme fineness and has continued to keep it". His AFD at age 7 (in 2013) is 20.8 microns....at age 7! His lineage is a who's who of famous alpacas featuring Hemingway, Bueno, and Augusto and there is a non Peruvian Way Back...but there isn't a ratio to claim it...so Full Peruvian is what we chose. His Dam is a Snowmass "All Time" favorite Royal white female from their key import 4Peruvian Isabella, who has since passed away. She was from a remote region known for fineness production and density- in line with Merino Sheep. Snowmass holds on to whatever genetics they can from her line, as it has been a great influence with lasting fineness and density of fleece across the board and her daughter, Queen Isabella, is living proof...couple this with Royal Challenger and a true Legend (Royal) is born. Royal Legend was on their lead show list however was injured just before show season and did not go on the tour. He recovered and they held on to him for their own breeding program. Julie chose his fleece over 50 other Fawns to enter into Nationals in 2008 and he took a respectable 3rd place in the largest class under Accoyo America Marathon. Because he was related to all Fawn and Dark through Royal Rose and Royal Reserve and many of their whites through Queen Isabella, they put Legend up for sale in the 2010 Pucara Premium Auction. He has Magnificent Fleece with extensive fineness over his entire frame, impeccable density and one of the brightest fawn fleeces in the Snowmass Herd! Because of his previously mentioned injury (aggravated at the 2010 Pucara Premium auction) Royal Legend will be selectively bred to Heaven's Hill Dark herd and those of our clients. He has 2 TB females in our herd to date... that are retained for our program! He is our secret weapon!

What can we say about the amazing Miss M? She is comformationally correct with wonderful bone structure. Her fleece is stunning. Her 2009 yearling fleece clean annualized weight was 4.2 lbs after skirting! That fleece went on to win the 2009 AOBA World Fleece Show Fawn Female Championship. Is is bright, fine and has the bundles of zipper crimp that judges love. Mapiya's skin biopsy from Dr. Norm Evans revealed she had four fiber clusters with an S/P ratio of 14.25 to 1 and twenty five fiber clusters with an average S/P of 13.7 to 1. The density study results was 70 follicles per SQ MM of skin. The average density that Dr. Evans evaluates is 39 to 40 follicles per SQ MM and the average S/P ratio is about 9 to 1. Dr. Evans states "Mapiya rates in the top 3% of females that I have evaluated when considering all points." Dr. Evans also referred to Mapiya as "Seed Stock!" Mapiya is truly a champion female and will produce champions for us. Mapiya easily birthed her first cria that hit the ground at 23.5 lbs. She had no problems birthing this big boy and his brightness was stunning even before he was dry. She passes on her brightness, density and solid frame. She is an excellent mother with an easy going nature which makes her a joy to own and manage!
