Description from the Menagerie Hill Ranch:

Kit Carson has once again returned to CA for the winter/spring and can't wait to meet your girls!
We're so excited to have him back and are looking forward to showing his youngsters at the Gold Country Gathering this fall!

Recently at the 2021 Gold Country Gathering, our first show in two years, son MHAR Aurelio Carson won RC in Walking Fleece! Judge Cheryl Gehly comment on his fineness, uniformity across primaries/secondaries and lack of guard hair! Check out his 2020 cria fleece (6 months). The photo doesn't do it justice as it rivals dad's for brightness and character!

2019 saw daughter Ebonni Carson win CC in walking fleece (TB) at the Gold Country Gathering under Wini Labrecque! We're so in love with all his cria, but this one is truly special:)

The first thing we noticed about his cria is the outstanding vigor, and once dry the brightness of the fleece! And the fleece character is no slouch either. As the cria have grown, we're seeing excellent early density and crimp, glowing brightness, and yummy softness/hand. Oh and the depth of color! Check out the pix of some of our first cria in all their dusty glory. Oh and let's not forget personality... these cria are among the most laid back and easiest to train that we have produced!

KC took his first championship at 8 months of age. Since then, his fleece has maintained its length and fineness and he remains one of the best grey males in the country. His production has not disappointed with multiple championships among his offspring. To date we've counted at least 18 of his offspring have won RCC or Color Championships! Among the most recent are RR Crawford, RR Lancelot, 4-Sight's Centerfold, MHAR's Ebonni Carson and MHAR Aurelio Carson.

If you have a look at his Watt follicle testing results, the reasons will be obvious. The mix of black and white fibers in his grey is homogeneous in micron. He is the only alpaca, male or female, that carries the best characteristics of the Snowmass Peruvian Casanova and Guns n Roses lines.

His follicle density testing by Ian Watt is outstanding at 2 years of age:
Density: 57.9/mm2
Secondary: Primary fiber ratio: 9.8:1
In-skin primary fiber diameter: 22.3 micron SD 3.2
In-skin secondary fiber diameter: 13.7 micron SD 2.5

Comments:
"High density coupled with an excellent set of numbers for the secondary fiber population give this male potential as a significant sire in .... a group not known for its uniformity within each fiber population.
This is a significant animal for silver grey alpacas, where the black fibers tend to be very strong in micron and vary across the staple in most alpacas of this colour.

Description

Delphinium, AOA 35586227, is a beautiful black alpaca with outstanding genetics on both sides. She is the product of two gray parents, giving her strong color genetics and versatility for breeding programs.

Her dam, Starshire’s Steel Skye, AOA 35074281, is a daughter of the 3X Herdsire of the Year Neversummer’s US Steel, a line well known for producing consistent, high-quality offspring. Her sire is RR Guns’ Kit Carson, AOA 30669109, a 17X Champion with an impressive show record and proven production of elite alpacas.

To date, Delphinium has successfully produced three excellent offspring. Her second and third, Talen Ranch’s Chancellor Noir and Talen Ranch’s Edge Rush, will enter the show ring in 2026.

Delphinium displays a lovely head, balanced conformation, and a fleece noted for its brightness, softness, and excellent staple length. She carries a beautiful phenotype and has proven herself as a valuable foundation female for any breeding program. After having Chancellor Noir and Edge Rush, we feel lucky to have this female and look forward to more of her offspring.
