A beautifully fleeced .38 Special son from a Mr. Roosevelt daughter and coincidentally the full brother to Crescent Moon’s Tennyson (also on our Hersire row). GPL has it all. His bone substance is second to none around here and his thick frame is just what we like to see on studs. Crescent Moon's Gun Powder & Lead is a proven gray-producing Herdsire you would be sorry to miss with breedings. He is an extraordinary Fleece Champion, Aussie .38 Special son who carries the impeccable, grey lineage of his dam, the one-and-only ATV Rose Pearl. The production quality of these two crossing lines is gray excellence incarnate. Crescent Moon's Gun Powder & Lead's production history is proof of his limitless gray/black potential. His first eight offspring all came from dams of these following colors: Medium Rose Grey, Bay Black, Medium Silver Grey, Medium Fawn, and Light Rose Grey. The offspring were all Medium Silver Grey, Medium Rose Grey and True Black. Prepotency for Black an Gray production is in his genes!! He himself was the 2013 Great Western Alpaca Show Fleece Grey Color Champion, thats at one of the largest shows in the U.S. Three years later (2016) with a 5-year-old fleece he took home the National Western Stock Show Grey Reserve Champion, lasting fineness proven. In 2021 his EPDs reveal he is in the Top 5% for Mean Staple Length and Fleece Weight!

Crescent Moon's Ticklish is one of those grey females that was truly a generation above her time, and we were fortunate enough to purchase her back in 2013. Her progeny have been show winners and have gone onto produce some of the finest animals in BLACK, BROWN, and GREY.

Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose (Sizzy) is a simply divine light brown, male with extremely bright fleece, full of high-frequency high amplitude Mirco bundles, as well as carrying a very dense fleece with an amazing handle. Several of the top Judges have called him "The Total Package." With him being an exceptional twelve-time champion, including the 2012 AOBA National Alpaca Show Halter Color Champion & 2012 The Futurity Halter Color Champion. Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose has been breeding for us for several years now and we couldn't be more pleased with the amount of improvement he has made to our herd. In 2014, we consigned Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose to the 2014 Amber Autumn Auction (AAA) and he ended up selling for $90,000, making him the highest-selling Snowmass Matrix Rose offspring to date. He was sold to Daryl and Shirley Krause of Amber Autumn Alpacas in Oregon. A year later we ended up acquiring half ownership of Sizzy with both of us, Amber Autumn Alpacas and Red Granite Ranch, closing Sizzy to all outside breedings. Though his offspring will be offered at both ranches and depending on the year, some outside breedings may be offered. We, Red Granite Ranch and Amber Autumn Alpacas are very happy to announce that Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose won the 2016 Huacaya Herdsire Of The Year, large breeder Division, as well as the 2017 Reserve Herdsire Of The Year Dark-colored offspring, large breeder Division. Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose was mentioned in The American Alpaca Journal, Issue 2, January 2020 in the “Black Ring Demographics” where Sizzy appeared in the top five genetic contributors to the winning black groups in the 2018-19 black ring. Impressive indeed. His ~150 Registered offspring have won around 134 championship banners and 4 AOA National Dark Male Supreme Championships as of 2020. Sizzy is the sire to RED GRANITES VAL D LSERE the 2016, 2017, and 2018 AOA National Dark Male Supreme Championship winner & LIBERTY'S MANIFEST-DESTINY the 2020 AOA National Dark Male Supreme Championship winner. 4/6 Dark Male Supreme Championship trophys have been sired by Sizzy, no other sire has accoplished this!! Breeders hoping to produce high-class winners by Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose should consider sending him females from the CONOPA, LEGIONNAIRE, JERICHO, KIRWIN, or .38 SPECIAL line.
