The results came back from the skin biopsy which are very favourable: Below is a write up from Jim Watts, MV. Sc, Ph.D: He is a rather special male!!! Jim Watts analysis: The 14 month old alpaca, FDA Rembrandt, has high levels of fiber density and fiber length. The density reading of 67.7 follicles per square millimeter will be lower when the animal reaches mature body size, but not sufficient to alter the fact that it is a high density animal. This view is supported by the high level of secondary follicle development that has occurred - a secondary follicle to primary follicle ratio of 13.5 to 1 is exceptional for an alpaca. The primary fibers and secondary fibers are fine in diameter (means of 24.5 microns and 17.6 microns respectively) and very uniform in diameter (standard deviations of fiber diameter of 2.9 microns respectively). Note the low level of medullation (13%) in the secondary fiber population - a feature that is sought and only accompanies alpacas with a very fine and uniform fleeces. The fibers are growing in length at the fast rate of 0.55 millimeters per day.

Alpaca Coat Colour Test Result: ee AA Update 2024: At the 2024 Alpaca Quebec Spring Show, the following offsprings of Loro Piana were awarded the following: Select Loro Piana's Cristo: Color Champion White Male, Supreme Intermediate male. CONGRATULATIONS ALPAGASELECT! Ariya Loro Piana's Sacred Spirit: Supreme Junior Male Select Loro Piana's Denver: Reserve Champion White Male, Reserve Supreme Junior Male UPDATE NOVEMBER 2023; Congratulations FOREST COVE ALPACAS with your Supreme Champion FOREST COVE LORO'S CASANOVA at the Royal Alpaca Show in Toronto. Casanova is an offsprings of Snowmass Loro Piana and Ariya Pure Reserve's Cait. Snowmass Loro Piana, so much can be said about this male. Loro Piana is a recipe of elite genetics who brought on a revolutionary crop of offsprings with their extreme density and finest, outstanding brightness and uniformity. Snowmass Loro Piana first histogram showed an extreme finest at 10.8 of microns, SD of 2.8, 0.3%>30 with a curvature of 67. Snowmass Loro Piana was also biopsied as a 21 month old white male showing a density of 115.25 follicles square meter. Snowmass Loro Piana, named after the famous luxury textile designer, Loro Piana, was the first in the Snowmass program to produce a fleece finer than Vicuna! The Snowmass longtime goal of producing a high curvature fleece with fineness, brightness, and staple length was realized in this remarkable stud. He is quite literally the embodiment of everything the Snowmass program desired in White Huacaya, and is celebrated among their highest achievements in breeding for Ultra Royal Alpaca. Here at Ariya Alpacas, we are honoured to introduce this male to our breeding program to continue persuing the Snowmass vision and look forward to the magic that Snowmass Loro Piana will bring. FÉLICITATIONS ALPAGASELECT! Snowmass Loro Piana, tant de choses peuvent être dites sur ce mâle. Loro Piana est une recette de génétique d'élite qui a produit une récolte révolutionnaire de progénitures avec leur densité extrême et leur luminosité et uniformité exceptionnelles. Le premier histogramme de Snowmass Loro Piana a montré une finesse à 10,8 microns, SD de 2,8, 0,3%> 30 avec une courbure de 67. Snowmass Loro Piana a également été biopsié en tant que mâle blanc de 21 mois montrant une densité de 115,25 follicules mètre carré. Snowmass Loro Piana, du nom du célèbre designer textile de luxe, Loro Piana, a été le premier du programme Snowmass à produire une toison plus fine que Vicuna ! L'objectif de longue date de Snowmass de produire une toison à haute courbure avec finesse, brillance et longueur d'agrafe a été réalisé dans ce goujon remarquable. Il est littéralement l'incarnation de tout ce que le programme Snowmass souhaitait produire dans le huacaya blanc, et est célébré parmi leurs plus hautes réalisations dans l'élevage d'Ultra Royal Alpaca
