Red Granites Luna

Red Granites Luna has both an extremely fine colored Dam and Sire who have consistently thrown superior dark fleeces, and despite being lighter in color than we wanted she is nothing short but exceptional, and any smart breeder would take note of this opportunity.

She is one of two current females sired by our favorite dark-colored Legionnaire son, Red Granites Tammerlane, who brings in BMF Taos' Zeppelin, an AOBA National Black Fleece Champion, matched with HERDSIRE OF THE YEAR WINNER, Snowmass Matrix Majesty. A simply divine genetic crossing. A champion in his own right, Tammerlane, has maintained an exceptionally fine fleece into maturity. At 6-years-old he had a 22.3 micron fleece with a 4.4 SD. We love to see maintained fiber traits in our Herdsires, and love it even more when they pass it onto their offspring.

An endearing Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose (enough said) daughter is the mother of this fine female. Her name is Red Granites Sizlin Lakota. A Reserve Color Champion winner at her first show, Lakota, comes from a remarkable maternal line that has never failed us, which starts with Irish Meadows' My Lacy, the 2015 AOA National Fawn Female Color Champion winner. At 8-years-old My Lacy held a 22.5 micron fleece with a 3.9 SD and a MEAN CURV of 53. Incredible. She is our favorite production female who is our "outcross" as she is a direct daughter of Sistina's Accoyo Destinati. All of her offspring thus far have bannered, and they range in colors from Black, Roan, Brown, and Light Fawn. In fact, her sons, Red Granites Lapu (Owned by Alpaca Country Estates) & Red Granites Legit By Val D Lsere have 4 AOA National Black Championship banners combined. My Lacy's offspring in total have over 25 Championship banners, and there are only 5 of them.

Red Granites Luna has a first year histogram of: 17.8, 3.9, 21.8, 0.8, MEAN CURV 51.0, SPIN FINENESS 17.5 and her most recent histogram at 3-years-old reads: 19.9, 4.2, 20.8, 2.0, MEAN CURV 54.1, SPIN FINENESS 19.4. Maintained fineness, uniformity, and frequency of the fleece that is proven on both sides of her pedigree, so it is no mistake that she has it. We can expect that Luna's future offspring will have this trait too, which makes her a must have in our eyes.
