Kit Carson has once again returned to CA for the winter/spring and can't wait to meet your girls! We're so excited to have him back and are looking forward to showing his youngsters at the Gold Country Gathering this fall! Recently at the 2021 Gold Country Gathering, our first show in two years, son MHAR Aurelio Carson won RC in Walking Fleece! Judge Cheryl Gehly comment on his fineness, uniformity across primaries/secondaries and lack of guard hair! Check out his 2020 cria fleece (6 months). The photo doesn't do it justice as it rivals dad's for brightness and character! 2019 saw daughter Ebonni Carson win CC in walking fleece (TB) at the Gold Country Gathering under Wini Labrecque! We're so in love with all his cria, but this one is truly special:) The first thing we noticed about his cria is the outstanding vigor, and once dry the brightness of the fleece! And the fleece character is no slouch either. As the cria have grown, we're seeing excellent early density and crimp, glowing brightness, and yummy softness/hand. Oh and the depth of color! Check out the pix of some of our first cria in all their dusty glory. Oh and let's not forget personality... these cria are among the most laid back and easiest to train that we have produced! KC took his first championship at 8 months of age. Since then, his fleece has maintained its length and fineness and he remains one of the best grey males in the country. His production has not disappointed with multiple championships among his offspring. To date we've counted at least 18 of his offspring have won RCC or Color Championships! Among the most recent are RR Crawford, RR Lancelot, 4-Sight's Centerfold, MHAR's Ebonni Carson and MHAR Aurelio Carson. If you have a look at his Watt follicle testing results, the reasons will be obvious. The mix of black and white fibers in his grey is homogeneous in micron. He is the only alpaca, male or female, that carries the best characteristics of the Snowmass Peruvian Casanova and Guns n Roses lines. His follicle density testing by Ian Watt is outstanding at 2 years of age: Density: 57.9/mm2 Secondary: Primary fiber ratio: 9.8:1 In-skin primary fiber diameter: 22.3 micron SD 3.2 In-skin secondary fiber diameter: 13.7 micron SD 2.5 Comments: "High density coupled with an excellent set of numbers for the secondary fiber population give this male potential as a significant sire in .... a group not known for its uniformity within each fiber population. This is a significant animal for silver grey alpacas, where the black fibers tend to be very strong in micron and vary across the staple in most alpacas of this colour.

Calypso's fleece is a bright peachy color with nice crimp and handle! Unfortunately, she was sold (as a cria) as part of a purchase package that defaulted (and eventually came back to us) and so wasn't shown. But she has a nice square frame with excellent bite and conformation! Her parents have nice fleece stats... Dad is out of the Snowmass gray/black line and has shown retained fineness with nice uniformity. Mom also has shown nice retained fineness. So we think her fleece will follow suit as she ages. We bred her to 17 X Campion RR Guns' Kit Carson for her 2018 cria. Both of her parents have black in their background and her sire has lots of gray. So we hoped that, bred to Kit, she'd produce a black or gray cria. But we got a gorgeous brown boy with such bright fleece, he glows in the sun! She was an easy breeder that took easily at the second try, birthed easily and quickly took to nursing her cria like a pro. For her 2019 cria, we bred her to our Judges Choice winner Blizzard. The result was a bright golden fawn boy with really nice architecture and amazing hand! We were so thrilled with this boy that we repeated the reading. We can't wait to see what they produce. We had planned to keep Calypso in our foundation herd. But we've purchased some girls with new genetics for our herd and need to reduce our numbers. Calypso will be a very nice production girl for any herd. Our loss is your gain. She sells with her breeding to Judges Choice winner MHAR Blizzard by Justice and a free rebreed to any unrestricted Menagerie Hill Ranch owned herdsire.
