SOLD Quality breeds quality, at least most of the time! A quick look at RRoyal Stars ARI certificate will illustrate just how painstakingly the Skinners, at Snowmass Alpacas, constructed their breeding decisions to arrive at this offspring. We purchased mom as the second highest selling female at their 2007 auction. Roy has quietly ascended to the top of our breeding program and undeniably will be a major contributor. He is out of 2 outstanding Snowmass fawns. We believe that he is a "switch hitter" and expect that he will produce both great whites and more importantly color. Mom is one of our strongest foundation females and has produced champions repeatedly. Dad is one of the best Hemingway sons with an outstanding production record, including Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass XXXtreme (brown). He is incredibly dense, very fine, and his fleece "glows". It is extremely uniform with a baby soft hand. It breaks into long,silky, draping, opalescent locks belying his incredible fineness/density. 2009 was a breakout season for Roy. He brought raves from every judge who saw him and acquitted himself well against some of the best in the country. Follicle density testing (Ian Watt) Follicle density: 79.51 /mm2 S/P: 13.0:1 Dp:Ds ratio 1.42 " This is the 4th densest alpaca that we have tested in the US and the 5th in the world" (as of 6/30/09) (For comparison, El Nino was higher at 89.5 in follicle density, but had an S/P 12.5 compared to Roy's 13.0/1.) We have used RRoy across our herd now for three years with remarkable results in increased density and fineness. We are now using his best son RR Arturo (see his biopsy results) to replace his father in our colored program. RRoy's light fawn son, RR Bacchus just won FIRST PLACE and COLOR CHAMPION at his first show under Diana Timmerman. This is an opportunity to have one of the densest alpacas in this country working for you and improving your entire herd. Please feel free to call us to ask any questions or to discuss!

If you have a roan male, this is the female for you. She is a proven dam, sweet disposition and experienced mom who we think is the perfect match with a roan male. There's Gold in this pedigree. Legacy Gold that is. He is a magnificent sire out of Legacy. Encantada's mom is one of 2 of his daughters that we purchased to bring those incredible lines to our herd. Golden Dreams, Encantada's mom, has Drambuie's Kaluha as her dam. If the name Drambuie's Kaluha sounds familiar, it might be because she is also dam to Snowmass Nova, Snowmass Drambuie's Braveheart and Snowmass Magic Midnight. She's clearly proven her worth. Encantada's dad is our own Guns n'Roses. He too, should be no stranger. He is an olympian rose grey who has proven, without a doubt, one of the most most prepotent greys in the country having sired offspring who have taken over 50 banners before his 5th birthday. More to the point, their analytics have been outstanding with Encantada being a perfect example. Apart from her histograms, she has been follicle density tested by Ian Watt and as of Dec 11 is the densest female that he has tested in any color! Her Watt skin biopsy showed: Density: .......................................66.2 Secondary: Primary fiber ratio:.....11.2:1 In-skin primary fiber diameter: 20.5 micron (SD 2.9) In-skin secondary fiber diameter: 14.6 micron (SD 2.2) Comments: This is an exceptional female alpaca with the highest density figure we have tested in a female of any color and also a very good S:P ratio. The fiber population differential is slightly higher than one would expect for such a dense animal but this is skewed by a couple of very low secondary fiber micron counts which create a wider gap than would otherwise be evident. Nevertheless, this is an exceptional animal. Exceptional indeed; we stopped doing histograms on Encantada at age 7 in 2016 at which time she was 22.1/ 4.2/ 19.1/ Comfort factor 95.9%! Her offspring have held their micron and championed in brown and black. For fall 2020 Rose Encantada presented us with a gorgeous male cria by Rr Dizzy Gillespie, RR Jupiter who is being offered with mom and should be taken to the show ring. This breeding has been repeated,
