Update: Putting Greystoke up for sale is very difficult for us, but we now have less females and several are his daughters. We hope to find him a wonderful herd to keep making babies because his cria are amazing!
We have always been enamored with black, harlequin, and appaloosa suris. We would love a whole herd of them! When the opportunity to acquire Greystroke, we were excited to work with Halo to bring a stud male with Shavano, Cinders, and Koloqua all rolled into one stellar herdsire. Thank you Halo for producing this fantastic male who not only has the unique color and genetics we love, but also has impressive fleece and phenotype to go with it.
Information about Greystoke's sire:
GLR Taj was the last cria born on the GLR ranch in 2013. And what a way for him to end up our birthing season. This little guy, at the time they thought to be one of their very best cria born on the ranch that year. He is an absolute clone of his sire, GLR Kolaqua, who was a two time AOBA Grey Color Champion. He has the tell tale wrinkled skin that comes with density which doesn't surprise us, as his dad's first shearing weight was almost 12 pounds. He had more wrinkles in fact than any other grey they have ever produced on their ranch. His mother GLR Tashi, is the daughter of GLR Tica who was a Color Champion and one of the very first colored Judges Choices. He has a pedigree packed with colored genetics, excellent fiber characteristics and conformation and we have high hopes that this young boy will be as successful as his papa both in the show ring and as a breeder of champion offspring. His full sister, GLR Tashina was the Reserve Grey Female Color Champion as a juvenile at the 2013 AAA Futurity and MAPACA and Grey Color Champion at the 2014 AOA Nationals. GLR Tashina ended her show careers by being named the very first grey Judges Choice, male or female.
Information about Greystoke's dam:
Alta, a beautiful black female, is out of GLR Alia, who was the 2014 AOA Nationals Black Female Color Champion, the 2014 AAA Futurity Female Black Color Champion, the 2014 MAPACA Jubilee Reserve Black Female Color Champion and the 2014 Suri Network Black Color Champion. Alia's mother GLR Allelujah has produced multiple Futurity Champions.
