We knew that Arturo was going to be extraordinary as soon as his fleece was dry. His namesake, Ken's father (Arthur), would have been 100 years old the day Arturo was born. We also knew that dad, our own Snowmass RRoyal Stars was a "dilution" white, with fleece density in the top 1% of alpacas biopsied by Ian Watt, as was his mom RR Rose Encantada and waited with confident expectations until the results came in. Skin biopsy report: (Ian Watt) Density: 76.7/mm2 S/P ratio: 14.2:1 In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 21.7 SD 2.9 In-skin mean secondary fiber diameter: 18.5 SD 2.4 Comments: " An elite alpaca in all fleece respects! There is nothing to add to what the numbers clearly say..." Want fineness...look at his histograms. His histogram at 36 months--> AFD 17.5/ SD 3.6/ CV 20.8/ CF 100% and curve 55.0 Dg/mm is one that would make any cria proud! He is a stunning male and of all the ribbons and banners that he has racked up, the one that we're most proud of is "Best Hand" at MAPACA, under Jude Anderson...that says it all! PLUS...HE MAKES SOLID GREY... Arturo has established his genetics indelibly in our herd and made many Champions and banners. He can do the same for yours...

Legato Grigio couldn't pull grey out of this breeding...but when you get a fawn of this quality, out of RR Valentina, the densest biopsied female yet through Ian Watt (oct, 2015)...it's difficult to be disappointed. Her biopsy results, as performed by Ian Watt at 24 months at Alpaca Consulting USA, are as would be expected superb" Density: 72.7 /mm Secondary:Primary fiber ratio: 11.4:1 In-skin mean primary fiber diameter: 24.7 µ Standard Deviation: 2.8 µ Range: 20.1 µ to 29.6 µ In-skin mean secondary fiber diameter: 21.0 µ Standard Deviation: 2.9 µ Range: 14.2 µ to 30.7 µ Comments: Beautiful numbers across the board for this elite female alpaca! RR Cleopatra, female cria by RR Tutankhamun is outstanding with bright, dense, fine fleece. She has a great personality as well! Nina is confirmed pregnant by RR Cezanne...going to be amazing!
