**DESCRIPTION BY PREVIOUS CO-OWNER**
GLR Joaquin is a full brother to the two-time 2015 Judges Choice True Black Female GLR Jamiyah. He is a gorgeous dark brown like his mother LCA Jaimica, who is also the mother of GLR Rastamon, the 2015 Dark Reserve Herdsire of the Year at the AAA Futurity. Jaimica has produced nothing but champions no matter who she's bred to and this Picasso son looks to be in the running to follow in his siblings footsteps. His luster, lock, coverage and conformation are right up to par and his micron is 17.7.
His show record as a young juvenile is impressive and at just six months he was the Reserve Brown Color Champion at the AOA and 2016 MAPACA Jubilee. Not bad for a youngster! As a yearling, he won Color Champion at AOA and Reserve Color Champion at CABA and All Suri Network Fleece Show.
Judges' Comments:
2017 Suri Network Fleece Show- Good solidity of lock along with luster and handle. Amanda VandenBosch.
2018 CABA/Palooza- Secondaries are quite fine with excellent luster.
Proudly Co-Owned with Halo Ranch.

We have searched far and wide for a Picasso son to add to our herd, and now we have found him!!! We are very excited to announce the addition of 5X Champion GLR Joaquin to ICONIC Suri Alpacas!! This lovely, DARK, colored male will bring some much wanted COLOR to our herd, that is mostly white and black at this point. He will also bring lovely fleece characteristics with lasting fineness (which he still possesses at 11 years of age.) Joaquin is a solidly build male, with a correct frame and pleasing head-style, as well.
With several offspring to date, we were able to evaluate that data and determine that he will fit nicely into our plans for our herd going forward. We are looking forward to some nice offspring from him in the near future!!
Stay tuned!!
