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.

GLR Black Pearls is a true black daughter of a Midnight Rock and Shavano, the 2010 Dark Herdsire of the Year. Her mother is dense and heavily covered with superior lock and luster and why we added her to our foundation female line up. She has no MacGyver genetics so she is a great candidate for outcross breeding to the MacGyver pedigree. Her regrowth since her first shearing is impressive. She was bred to Cinders and has a beautiful true black 2015 daughter, GLR Black Jewel at her side who was a member of our 2016 show string and ought to be a serious contender to be shown as a yearling. Black Pearls is bred to Cinders, the 2016 Dark Herd Sire of the Year (closed to outside breedings) and expecting a 2016 cria.
