RR ROSE CARMEN -SOLD - MAKER OF CHAMPIONS!

Huacaya, Female, Proven | Medium Brown

AOA# 31331982   D.O.B. 7/26/2008, 1/4 Peruvian, 1/2 Bolivian, 1/4 Chilean
Sire:
Aussie Guns-n-Roses  
| AOA# 30036107  | Medium Rose Grey  |
GnR is now owned by Fun in the Country Alpacas in Michigan. He remains on our "Hall of Fame" as herdsire emeritus, for all that he has contributed!

Deciding which herdsire to use in your breeding program? Here's what we do..

Pedigree: An excellent indicator of a male's EBV (estimated breeding value). We want lines with established pre-potency that have demonstrated sustained fineness through at least 4-5 years. Click on GnR's ARI cert icon above.

Conformation: It has to be a given, if it's not, the search stops here. We like a male that is well proportioned, but compact. We want good bite and head. Solid bone and strong fore and hindquarters. We prefer good sized testicles and want to see him breeding before age 2 and maintaining a vigorous libido thereafter...but an even non aggressive temperament. GnR is our poster boy for all of the above.

Fiber: Hand and uniformity: That's easy! Just put it against your cheek.A grid sample can be found by going to our website...he's consistant across a broad blanket top to belly, brisket to tail.

Fineness: It's not about 1st shear micron. What's the 4th shear like? Don't hide the SD and % over 30 micron...that's what the industry is crying for. And while your at it, check out the difference between the micron in primary and secondary fibers and their respective SDs (on skin biopsy stats).

Brightness: GnR's fiber glows...a quality not lost on every one of his offspring.

Density: Fiber doesn't have to "feel" dense...more often than not that's a sign of coarseness. Quite simply, GnR is the densest grey biopsied through Jim Watt's lab in Australia, and they've been doing it for over 20 years.If you click on the histogram icon, you will see his biopsy results. An explanation of those numbers can be found on our website.

Length: His fiber is ridiculously long. His 4th shear (at right) is only 315 days.

Dam:
Catamaya 
| AOA# 809524  | Medium Brown  |
Full Bolivian - Catamaya is a dependable, proven producer of impressive cria and has great conformation, perfect proportions, nice frame size, excellent balance, a pretty face and stately presence. She has a perfect bite. Her deep maroon fibre is exceptionally fine for a dark colored female. Look at the histograms at age 9 and 11!

She's a marvelous mother with good milk and unassisted births.

She comes with a breeding to Guns n Roses our multichampion rose grey herdsire who has had skin density studies by Jim Watt in Australia that are outstanding. His show record acknowledges that he is one of top greys in the country. His production record is now proving that the show accolades were no fluke and he is hold his fineness. His antecedent's histories going back 3 generations and show an ability to sustain outstanding, very fine fleeces well into maturity.

We will repeat this breeding. We could not be happier with the results of this last cria.

Huacaya, Herdsire (Male), Proven, Dark Silver Grey, 7/8 Peruvian
ARI# 31620031 | DOB: 9/12/2011
Currently breeding in WA state...

Legato Grigio is the assimilation of the 2 most important lines that we wanted to bring to our grey breeding program. He comes by his elite fleece not unexpectedly.

Dad is RR Gun's A'Blazin' who has now shown by both histograms, and follicle skin testing that he is consistantly producing fineness, density and uniformity and was a 15 time banner winner.

Mom, Snowmass Golden Dreams, has been one of our best producers. We have amassed countless banners ...

Description

Carmen is a stunning rich brown, compact, beautifully proportioned GnR daughter who boasts very uniform, bright, well defined, lengthy fiber.

The judges sure liked her and they sure love her daughters too who have taken championships in the ring. She has been one of the Guns n Roses daughters that we have come to cherish in our program as a foundation female with outstanding production and excellent color genetics including production of a black herdsire.

Skin biopsy through Ian Watt:

Density: 50.3/mm2
S/P: 10.3:1

In-skin primary fiber diameter:
19.7 micron, SD 2.7
In-skin secondary fiber diameter:
14.1 micron, SD 2.2

Comments: "Very good density well supported by an excellent fiber population differential with excellent SDs and a very good S:P ratio make this a breeding female of significant potential."

We were thrilled with the 2014 offering of RR Billie Holiday out of Legato Grigio which we repeated for 2015 and look at the bottom picture to see what we got!!! needless to say, we are going for a three-fer... Carmen is being sold with her STUNNING female cria RR Hera if sold before weaning! An amazing opportunity!!!
