Since then, his fleece has maintained its length and fineness and he remains one of the best grey males in the country. 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 production has not disappointed with multiple championships among his offspring. His follicle density testing by Ian Watt is outstanding at his sampling at 2 years of age: Density: 57.9mm/mm2 Seconday: Primary fiber ratio: 9.8:1 In-skin primary fiber diameter: 22.3 micron SD 3.2 In-skin secondary fiber micron: 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 his color group. 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" 2010: 17.6/ 3.28/ 18.6/ CF 99.8%/ 90mm 2011: 19.2/ 3.31/ 17.3/ CF 99.3% / 100mm 2012: 21.74/ 4.03/ CF 97.18 / 100mm 2013: 23.02/ 4.07/ 17.66/ CF 95.66 / 100mm 2014: 21.34 / 3.79 /17.77/ CF 98.07/ 90mm 2015: 22.5 /3.96 /17.6/ CF 96.1/ 90mm

If you are serious about breeding for grey, it is likely that you are familiar with both Snowmass Drambuie's Braveheart and Incan Magic, both of whom spent quality time on the Skinner's stud row. Charms has not only the pedigree, but superfine, super bright with excellent uniformity across her blanket. Her first cria, RR El Greco is a magnificent true black out of our own Snowmass Midnight Sun. For 2012, we took her in a grey direction with RR Gun's Kit Carson, with RR Belladonna a champion grey daughter only to be followed by RR Jasmine, a gorgeous true black full sister. We followed up 2015 with a breeding to RR Arturo. He is off the charts in his analytics both by serial histograms and follicle skin testing and has impressed in the ring and fleece shows. His is a fleece, that even as he matures, invites your hand and won't let it escape. That cria, RR Georgia O'Keefe was all that we could ask for. She is a stunning rose grey with fleece that belies the outstanding metrics of her dad. Charms has had 5 cria 3 true black, 2 tux grey. They have all been quality alpacas with an excellent record of banner acquisitions in competitive shows...and she is expecting another Arturo cria in September. These are lines that you will not find elsewhere in grey breeding programs...

Nox is a handsome male, with beautiful fleece and POWERHOUSE GENETICS on both sides. Equinox is stacked on both sides with “superstars”. CCNF Elixir, Matrix, Jeremiah, Snowmass Enlightenment are just to name a few… Nox’s sire CCNF Rise Up has a nice show record and interesting color potential. Truly one of Cas Cad Nac’s best. Nox’s dam, KBA Enlightened, is a 10x champion! He is a full brother to 8 x champion and 2023 CABO judges choice winner, Paragon’s Rocketman. Rocketman’s first two offspring have been a solid blue black. Nox looks so much like his full brother, but finer. Take a look at his fleece shot- Amazing! He looks like he could roan out. His genetic color testing came back at EeAa1! This guy is therefore extremely versatile, able to cover everything from white to black to gray!! Exciting! And if he produces anything like his brother, which we expect, he will do great things for our breeding program. Stay tuned…
