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.

What a great way to start or enhance your herd. This girls grand daddies are Snowbelt Hot Scot (MB)(BB) and Conan the Great (TB). Throw in her true black mother and dark rose gray dad and the possibilities are great for this foundation female. Elektra's first cria by our MSG herdsire LV Silver Samovar by Vantaggio is so feisty, we named him Black Thunder for the way he charged around the pasture and bothered the other moms! He has his sire's trademark fine, bright and uniform fleece, with great crimp style and staple length. Look for him at the 2018 CA Classic! We've rebred Elektra to our amazing Multi Champ herdsire RR Guns Kit Carson for a fall 2018 cria. We cant wait to see what they produce!

Description

This is the boy born while we were at the 2018 Gold Country Gathering. We all thought he was going to be "lavender", but if you look close the new fleece is actually a gorgeous light silver grey! And it's already showing some really nice organization and bundling... we can't wait to see how it grows out:) I've been calling this boy "stud muffin" for a couple of reasons. First he's a nice bulky boy with a wide stance and early genital development. Then there is his behavior... from an early age he's clearly the alpha male investigating everything that goes on and has high interest in the open girls. Unlike most young males who climb on the cushed girls anywhere (back, neck, head, tail), this boy knows where he needs to be... the back end. And he's persistent... attempting to mount the standing girls. And notably, he leaves the bred girls alone! Unfortunately, we didn't get pre/post shearing pix but his bright light silver fleece just glows in the sun:) Fast forward to the Gold Country Gathering Alpaca Show and bothe halter and fleece judges were wowed by his fleece! At just a year of age, his secondary follicles are still coming in, but his extreme fineness and uniformity took him to first place in halter and had Walking Judge Wini Lebrecque happily fondling it! Judge Amanda VandenBosch commented on his very fine and uniform fleece and beautiful wide, square, upright, balanced frame.
