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

WOW… just WOW! We were over the moon when given the opportunity to add this handsomely spotted harlequin boy, Howling Hill’s Conspicuous, aka Spike, to our herd sire line up. No doubt, Spike is striking in color, but take a look at his fleece traits and genetic potential for reproducing, because truly, that is what a breeding pairing is all about! Spike’s Harlequin Appaloosa gene can be traced back to Legend Maker and Black Epic, two of the most prolific Harlequin Appaloosa producers in the US. His sire is none other than Red Granite’s Man of Mystery (formerly known as Pinktus), who now resides at Willow Wind Alpaca Farm in Westcliffe, CO. Man of Mystery is a beautiful representation of a harlequin, and at 127.2 follicles/ square mm in density, he is the densest alpaca biopsied by Ian Watt in the US…and to quote Ian Watt, “Overall, this is the best alpaca I have tested in the US.” To add more to the table, Spike’s dam, ELK Matrix Haley is a Snowmass Matrix daughter, adding more powerhouse genetics and uniformity. Here’s what the judges have had to say about Spike: - Very strong and well balanced - Impressive from his head style throughout his body balance - Incredible amount of fiber across his frame - Fleece opens up cleanly - Good solidity in his fleece - Striking color - Maintaining good softness throughout - Spectacular coloring - I actually heard myself say WOW when the alpaca came in Spike truly has ALL you are looking for in a harlequin appaloosa program- Color and conformation without sacrificing fleece traits!
