GLR Rastamon is the densest (Follicle Density 68, micron 20.9) blackest, true black that Brad and Jandy have ever produced on the ranch. His sire is Shavano, is a 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 they 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 conformation 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, however, for the right farm we may consider 1/2 interest.

Elsa is a daughter of Ben's Boy who is a AAA Futurity White Male Color Champion and has Uribe, NGG Cortez, and 4P Black Gold in her pedigree. Elsa was first bred to Young Felipe, our 5 time White Color Champion and produced a high luster, 17.8 micron count beautiful male, GLR Apatche, who was a member of our 2009 show string. Elsa had a beautiful little girl, GLR Etta James, another Young Felipe kid who was sold at the 2010 AAA Futurity. Elsa was bred next to our mulitple winning grey color champion, GLR Kolaqua and had an adorable, wooly rose grey female, GLR Eliza who was member of our 2011 show string and sold the same year. Elsa had a very nice 2013 Rastamon daughter, GLR Ella, sired by GLR Pablo, a Shavano son, who showed at the 2014 MAPACA Jubilee and was 1st in her class. Elsa's 2014 cria was GLR Eldorado, a bay black Rastamon son who was the 2015 AAA Futurity Black Male Color Champion and was purchased by The Midnight Moon Alpaca Farm at the AAA Futurity Sale in 2016.Her 2015 male cria, GLR Equator, is a beautiful brown Picasso son who ought to be competitive in the show ring in 2017 as a yearling. With her colored pedigree and excellent fiber genetics, no matter who we breed Elsa to, she gives us beautiful babies! And with no MacGyver in her blood she is a perfect outcross. We love her!
