Sire:

GLR Nico 

| AOA# 32138535  | True Black  |

GLR Nico has produced a Futurity Champion every year he has been in Production!
He is now standing stud in Oregon! Many people who have purchased breedings to Nico over the years have put Champion offspring on the ground as a result. We are proud of his longevity of fleece traits in this color and his continuing success in his breeding career.
Come and close up your open girls with a breeding to this True Black boy! His progeny needs no introduction, they continue to blow away the competition in the show ring and it is easy to understand why! With his genetics and pedigree, he continues to stamp LUSTER and LOCK on everything! Nico has blown us away with his ablity to pair extremly well with Macgyver lines! Our best pairings with Nico have been from Macgyver lineage girls! Between confimation, lock and luster, Nico has not let us down.

DERWYDD-GVA CREAMERY'S DAIRY MAID 

Beautiful black female!

DERWYDD-GVA CREAMERY'S DAIRY MAID

Suri, Female, Proven, Bay Black, 7/8 Peruvian, 1/8 Bolivian

ARI# 35072317 | DOB: 3/5/2014

This beautiful bay black female is a show stopper. Stunning black fleece with an incredibly soft handle and great suri luster. Dairy Maid's bloodlines are the tops for black genetics.

Her sire is multi-champion Bluegrass Peruvian Rhythm & Blues who has an outstanding show record and produces champion color offspring. Her dam, Merchant's Creamery is a Captain Morgan daughter, who is one of the most famous dark herdsires. Merchant Creamery won many first places and a reserve champion in her...

Service Sire:

GLR Rastamon 

| AOA# 31115674  | True Black  |

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.

Description

Wow! This girl has it all--fineness, density and full of luster in one beautiful black-as-midnight package. Awesome champion black genetics from Rythm & Blues, Nico, Shavano, Captain Morgan combined with the fineness and luster of the champion Merchant Creamery stud female line.

Cherry has strong conformation on a feminine frame. Her jet black fleece is super fine with beautiful lock structure and luster. She has a very soft, cool handle to her fleece.

Black Cherry was S.H.I.P. classified in 2018 by Cheryl Gehly. For conformation, she scored a top 5 in 7 of the 8 conformation traits. For fleece, she scored a 4 for fleece phenotype, 3.5s for uniformity of micron and lock structure and 3s for luster and handle.

We plan to keep this girl in our stud female row, unless some discerning breeder wants to snatch her up.
