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.

Multi Champ Sire - Gorgeous Fleece!

Delphi's Risa

AOA# 35078418DOB: 6/25/20168 yrs

Shown twice this Spring, Risa was awarded a 6th place ribbon at the 2017 Nationals - the competition was extreme, as was her behavior, lol. Then, 7 weeks later, Peter Kennedy, (renowned breeder of blacks himself), awarded her the Blue in another tough class of 7 at GWAS, which included several of the girls that had placed above her at Nationals. We think her additional fleece growth, plus some additional halter training, (she is very sweet and smart) allowed her to show her true colors. Peter Loved her fleece, and you can see why. ;^) Risa went on to win 1st Place in a very competitive Juvie class of 7 and Reserve Champion Black Female, earning 78 points at the 2017 AOA National Fleece Show. Peter Kennedy's comments: "Beautifully soft fleece, bright and soft to hand". We're told the black classes were extremely competitive and that Peter Kennedy was heard to say he was blown away by the quality of the blacks. She is slick, dense and crimpy - fine - Handle Handle Handle! From 2 classic grey parents - (Check out her dad's page!) Almost full Peruvian - Yum! She'll fit into any color program you have - and she has the genetics to improve it. Her name is Risa (think Lisa with an "R"), which means laughter, and she sure puts a smile on our faces. We can't stop feeling her bright bright bright silky fleece. Yeah, I know bright and lustrous are redundant (unless you're a suri breeder, wink!) - but this little one just begs for more adjectives. Beautiful head, perfect bite. She is growing into an absolutely wonderful young lady - She will be a superb producer for a black or grey program.

Fineness & Uniformity!

Description

Leo had a very nice presence early on. He's hands down the most mellow cria we've birthed here. Just look at how comfortable he is in Layla's arms on Day 9! Layla received an adoption certificate for her birthday and she came that day to choose her "Adopted Alpaca for the Year". She chose Leo, and when I told her he didn't have a name yet, she asked if she could name him. And viola, we have Leo Carson! Both of Leo's parents are multi-Champions with excellent fleece stats including lingering fineness, nice uniformity and excellent density. So he has lots of potential! At birth, his fleece was very soft and curly. But after cria shearing, he left with his dam to head north for breeding. So unfortunately we had to wait till the following spring to see how it's growing out. The good news is that on arrival he almost immediately became best buds with one of their recently born cria. So we were sure he was in good hands! Fast forward to six months of age after returning from Washington with mom. I took a look at his fleece one day and WOWZA! The pix here don't do him justice: he's extremely bright and fine with excellent density. It's too bad COVID 19 prevented us from showing him this spring. But he'll definitely be in the ring come fall! We sent Leo's first fleece (just7 months growth) to the AOA National Fleece Show 2021. Judge Amanda Vandenbosch noted his even, well nourished fleece with developing staple, awarding him First Place (of 9)! At the Gold Country Gathering 2021, Leo's 2021 fleece earned Second Place, with Judge Cheryl Gehly noting the fleece's brightness and fine secondaries. In Halter, Judge Wade Gease noted his density and staple uniformity especially between secondary and primary fibers after awarding him Second Place. Later in Walking Fleece, Cheryl Gehly praised his beautiful hand, noting the fleece was very fine, and very uniform, with little guard hair, which earned him Second Place (of 8) and Reserve Champion. At the CA Classic 2022, Leo was awarded First Place for his density, organization and uniformity. Judge Laurel Shouvlin also noted how close the primary and secondary fiber microns were. In Walking Fleece, Judge David Barboza noted his soft hand, uniformity, dense bundling and brightness which earned him fourth place (of 8) in a very competitive class. In the Walking Fleece show at the 2022 Gold Country Gathering Judge Dianna Timmerman noted his fineness, uniformity across the blanket, staple length and character. She awarded him first place (72.5 points) and Color Champion.
