Sire: GLR MOAB ARI#
32533910 True Black GLR Moab is the son of Great Lakes Ranch's true black Rockstar granddaughter, Midnight Rock. Brad & Jandy Sprouse specifically bought Midnight Rock, thinking and hoping that when bred to their Shavano pedigreed males that she would make a cria like Moab. His lock, density and luster were impressive to Brad and Jandy even as a little guy. Both parents, Midnight Rock and GLR Rastamon are about as true black as they come with no tipping at all and that great blue black color.
With a pedigree of deep black genetics and the excellent fiber characteristics that come from both parents, His first show was the 2014 AOA Nationals where he was first in his class of juveniles and Reserve Black Male Color Champion at only ninth months old and went on to do it again at the largest Suri show of 2014 at the MAPACA Jubilee. He continued to do well in 2015 with a 3rd place at the 2015 AOA Nationals and First and Reserve Black Male Color Champion at the 2015 AAA Futurity. Moab went on to win the Black Male Color Championship at the 2015 MAPACA Jubilee, the biggest Suri show of the year. We partnered with Over Home Alpacas to purchase GLR Moab.
Having processed His Dam - Midnight Rock's fleece and having already purchased her 2014 cria GLR Phoebe, who was awarded a championship in her first show and first place at MAPACA 2015 we had a very good feeling about Moab.
Moab has many successful cria's on the ground. He is true to his genetics and is passing his fiber genetics and luster.
