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.

Fashionista is the last Durango daughter born in the US before her papa left the country. She is a wonderful little foundation female and we are thrilled to have her on the ranch. Her first cria was GLR Francista, a beautiful black female sired by GLR Bacchus, who sold in the winter of 2013. Fashionista's 2013 cria was yet another true black beautiful cria, this time a son, and sired by GLR Rastamon, GLR Falcon. Fashionista's 2014 cria is a true black little girl, GLR Fransisca,who even at a very young age looked promising enough for us to be thinking she is going to be another girl we take on the road with us in 2016. Also on the road with us in 2016 is Fashionista's 2015 true black female cria GLR Faberge who looks pretty promising and will be very competitive as a yearling in the show ring.. Fashionista is bred back for another Rastamon baby in 2016. So far she has been three for three in producing black cria.
