Huacaya, Herdsire (Male), Unproven | True Black
ARI# 31620567, D.O.B. 11/12/2011, 7/8 Peruvian
Sire: Snowmass Midnight Sun ARI#
30820425 Light Fawn Sunny has been very effective as a herdsire in our breeding program. He has brought the fleece characteristics one would expect in a light fawn multi champion and he has consistantly put those charactistics into clors from fawn through black...producing banners in his offspring.
Sure he can produce at least 505 black when bred to black (he has exceeded that), but look at the fiber analytics on our webpage, in both micron and density...especially in black.
He not only has improved micron all the dams that he has been bred to but has consistantly produced densities over 50, even in balck and his offspring are all in the top percentages of all blacks sampled through Alpaca Consulting USA, Ian Watt and includes RR Belleza Nera, the densest female alpaca in ANY color that he has biopsied as of 9/17/13..a striking blue black female.
Sunny's density is not too shabby:
Follicle testing (Ian Watt)(6/30/09)
Follicle density:63.17/mm2
S/P 11.2:1
Dp:Ds ratio: 1.51
He is a utility breeder who will fit into any color breeding program and raise across herd statistics across the color spectrum.
We are trying to keep a relatively small herdire row and Sunny's genetics have been well represented in our herd, so he is also being offered for sale.
He's young and has a strong libido. He settled his first female at 17 months.
Dam: MKC's Absolute Black-Berry ARI#
30611108 True Black Black as night!. Outstanding coverage. Terrific head with full face coverage. Boxey conformation with big bone. Proud stance and motion. And of course there's the fiber that only a rpeated champion can produce. Black-berry is a charmer and as typey as they come. She is a compact, well proportioned hembra who has established herself as a very competent matron. She has brought outstanding Premier's Absolute lines to our breeding program.
She has accumulated some impressive banners, but we're especially proud of the judges comments in taking a blue in "Produce of Dam".
In a short show career she has established herself as a true champion!
We have had outstanding production out of Blackberry. Her most recent cria, RR Nuovo Mondo (out of our own Midnight Sun) is a stellar true black, who even as a cria is showing very dense, beautifully defined and very bright fleece that breaks into well organized bundles.
Despite that, we have chosen to take her to grey for 2014 and are breeding her to our rising star, RR Gun's Kit Carson. This is one that we wish we could keep!
We've reduced Blackberry's price...certainly not a relection of quality, but in order to manage our herd density.
Description
There are some very nice lines at work in Nuovo Mondo's pedigree and it came together quite nicely in the finished product.
He's a compact male with excellent proportions, strong conformation, excellent jaw alignment and bite.
He has a true non-fading black, with excellent length and brightness. He has good uniformity and a relatively consistent bold, high amplitute crimp style
We were fortunate enough to get a good number of black cria out of Snowmass Midnight Sun, one of our most consistent studs (now working in Idaho), a light/fawn recessive black, who consistently produced high density blacks.
Our website shows not only Midnight Sun's excellent biopsy stats, but shows those of his offspring. Across the board the results are superior, and he is responsible for siring RR Belleza Nera, the densest female alpaca, in any color, biopsied by Alpaca Consulting USA (Ian Watt).
Nuovo Mondo is not yet biopsied but his full brother, Midnight Maestro had very good density and stats with a follicle density 58.7 S/P 10.8:1 and and differential between primaries and secondaries of less than 8microns, and both primary and secondary populations with SDs under 3.5. If you're into numbers, those are very nice numbers for a black.
We think that Nuovo Mondo can bring superior genetics as a contributor to a black breeding program and would be an excellent candidate to start a program in black.
