Cinders was just the male we had been looking for the quite a few years, to breed to our Shavano and Rastamon daughters. We purchased this beautiful male from Beth Roy of Suri Peak. Cinders had his first offspring on the ground in the spring of 2012 and his kids showed at the 2013 GWAS in Denver coming out of the ring with blue ribbons and much acclaim. Of the four entered all four won blue ribbons with Mystique going on the win the Reserve Color Championship. With a biopsy density of 67.5 at four years old, this guy has some impressive fiber stats. His first Great Lakes Ranch offspring certainly did not disappoint in 2015 nor in 2016. Cinders is the 2016 AAA Futurity Dark Herd Sire of the Year! Needless to say Cinders is a welcome addition to our herd sire line up. Cinders is closed to outside breedings.

We purchased Jaimica from Jack and Kelly Armstrong of Latah Creek. A three time Color Champion, Jaimica is a beautiful mahogany brown, dense, and super lustrous with a gorgeous head and a calm and wonderful disposition. Her sire is two time AAA Futurity Grey Champion, Prince Greystone. Her dam is Snowmass Foxy Lady, who Don and Julie Skinner consider one of the top two dams of their Snowmass suri herd. Jaimica's first cria born was a super lustrous and greasy fawn Rico daughter. In 2009, she had a killer true black Shavano son who made his debut in the show ring at the AAA Futurity in Oklahoma City, and won Reserve Black Male Color Champion, then on to GWAS and AOBA Nationals. In 2015 his offspring earned Rastamon the AAA Dark Reserve Herdsire of the Year. He is unquestionably the most dense, greasy and lustrous black we have ever produced on the farm. Jaimica's 2011 cria, also sired by Shavano was another jet black, dense and lustrous cria...but a girl this time, GLR Jamaica. Jamiaca was a multiple Color Champion over her two year show career, ending it at AOBA Nationals with her last Color Championship and the coveted Judges Choice Award. She was purchased by Linda Kondris of Pines Edge Suri Ranch in CO. In 2012 Jaimica was bred to GLR Picasso and gave birth to yet another true black female GLR Jamiyah who won Black Female Color Champion at the 2015 AOA Nationals, and Black Female Color Champion and Female Judges Choice at both the AAA Futurity and the MAPACA Jubilee .Her 2014 Cinders son, is mahogany brown just like her named GLR Justice. This young guy was probably the nicest male cria we had in our crop of kids from 2014. He was purchased by Linda Kondris and Mike and Janet Wilkins. Jaimica's 2015 male cria, sired by Picasso, GLR Joaquin ended his first year on the show circuit winning Reserve Brown Male Color Champion at AOA Nationals, the 2016 MAPACA Jubilee and 3rd place at the AAA Futurity starting his first show at just a few days over 6 months old. Jaimica just keeps pumping them out! Jaimica is bred back to Cinders the 2016 Dark Herd Sire of the Year ( closed to outside breedings) and expecting a late fall 2016 cria.
