GLR Taj was the last cria born on the GLR ranch in 2013. And what a way for him to end up our birthing season. This little guy, at the time they thought to be one of their very best cria born on the ranch that year. He is an absolute clone of his sire, GLR Kolaqua, who was a two time AOBA Grey Color Champion. He has the tell tale wrinkled skin that comes with density which doesn't surprise us, as his dad's first shearing weight was almost 12 pounds. He had more wrinkles in fact than any other grey they have ever produced on their ranch. His mother GLR Tashi, is the daughter of GLR Tica who was a Color Champion and one of the very first colored Judges Choices.He has a pedigree packed with colored genetics, excellent fiber characteristics and conformation and we have high hopes that this young boy will be as successful as his papa both in the show ring and as a breeder of champion offspring. His full sister, GLR Tashina was the Reserve Grey Female Color Champion as a juvenile at the 2013 AAA Futurity and MAPACA and Grey Color Champion at the 2014 AOA Nationals. GLR Tashina ended her show careers by being named the very first grey Judges Choice, male or female. Taj at 25 months old, had a micron of 19.3. His regrowth is impressive and he has matured superbly. He has taken his place in our stud row and we are actively using him in our breeding program this year. We look forward to seeing what he produces in 2017.

Alta, a beautiful black female, is out of GLR Alia, who was the 2014 AOA Nationals Black Female Color Champion, the 2014 AAA Futurity Female Black Color Champion, the 2014 MAPACA Jubilee Reserve Black Female Color Champion and the 2014 Suri Network Black Color Champion. Alia's mother GLR Allelujah has produced multiple Futurity Champions. Alta's sire, Cinders, is closed to outside breedings. This little girl has an impressive pedigree of black champions on both sides of her lineage and ought to be an outstanding addition to anyone's foundation female line up now that she has retired from the show ring. At her first two shows she was 3rd at the 2015 AOA Nationals and the 2015 AAA Futurity as just a young juvenile. She is bred to GLR Taj, a beautiful grey herd sire that we have high hopes for in terms of production results. Alta has produced 3 beautiful, fine fleeced and lustrous males sired by GLR Taj, Lima (Fawn)2017, Lorde Greystoke (Modern Grey)2018 and Tarzan (Modern Grey)2019. Alta's 2021 Joaquin male, Atlas, is a stunning brown male with black tipping and amazing density and lock already. He has potential for Herdsire material.
