AOA# 31115674DOB: 8/28/200915 yrs
GLR Rastamon is the densest (Follicle Density 68, micron 20.9) blackest, true black that we have ever produced on the ranch. His sire is Shavano, our true black 1/2 Accoyo Black Color Champion. His mother, LCA Jaimica, is a 5Peruvian Silken daughter, one of Snowmass Alpacas very favorite dams, and one of the reasons that we bought Jaimica from Jack and Kelly Armstrong a few years back. This guy is jet black with no tipping, what so ever, and very impressive in comformation and in bone. He stands upright and proud, even as a juvenile and was awarded the Reserve Black Male Color Championship at his first show, at seven months old, at the 2010 AAA Futurity. His first crop of kids produced plenty of Color and Reserve Color Champions and the second crop followed suit. In theory, based on his fiber stats and pedigree, we hoped that he would step up the quality of his offspring to another level from his dad, AAA Futurity 2010 Herd Sire of the Year, Shavano. So far we are more than impressed with his kids and have him bred to more than half of our foundation females for cria in 2014! His offspring in 2015 earned him the title of AAA Futurity Reserve Dark Herd Sire of the Year. GLR Rastamon is closed to outside breedings.

GLR Rastamon is the the densest alpaca we have ever produced on this ranch of any color and had a follicle density of 68 when biopsied. Not bad for a true black. Santana has incredible luster, lock and density just like his dad, and he has a beautiful head with a beard and face that are just covered with fleece. He will be a fun member of our show string this spring. With his solid grey genetics on his mother's side, and the black genetics of his dad and grandfather, Rastamon and Shavano, this guy ought to be a fun addtition to any serious breeder of grey or color. Both Shavano and Rastamon have always been closed to outside breeding so this male represents a great opportunity to add some outcross genetics. His first show this year was the 2014 AOA Nationals where he was first in his class and Grey Male Color Champion. He was the AAA Futurity Grey Male Color Champion as well.He ought to be a welcome addition to any breeder interested in producing quality grey suris.
