Snowmass Royal Knight

 

Description

Snowmass Royal Knight is a spitting image of his sire, Snowmass Royal Bronze but in a True Black. How could we ask for more? This male like his sire has fine fiber on every part of his body. If you could mutate a vicuna to have a fine fleece over its entire body add staple length and the color black you would have Snowmass Royal Knight.
He is unrelated to our other black lines so we could not have asked for a more perfect male to breed our blacks to. His first cria are due this fall. We will wait for them to hit the ground before we open him up for breedings.
We are extremely excited to have such a fine true black stud in our herd!

Fiber and Fleece Description

A vicuna in Black; If you could mutate a vicuna to have a fine fleece over its entire body add staple length and the color black you would have Snowmass Royal Knight. He has a bit of a deeper crimp than a vicuna type but the handle and fineness are right there!
