Starshire's Equinox Charm

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...
