5x Champion (including 2x AOA Reserve Champ)
Huacaya, Male, Proven | True Black
AOA# 35168522 D.O.B. 6/25/2017
RED GRANITES LAPU: Top 10% EPDs in 2021
With his fineness, long staple, blanket consistency, and beautifully balanced conformation, Red Granites Lapu is an ebony showcase of the refined elements we cherish in all our Elite Herdsires. His sire, Kirwin (13X Champion including AOBA), and his dam, Irish Meadows' My Lacy (4X Champion including AOA), are both brimming with supreme champion-colored genetics.
Red Granites Lapu is one of the most exquisite fleeced Kirwin sons born to date and has a very unique combination of genetics. It's not just about the Dam and Sire for us in our breeding program, it's the background of specific lineages to reach the top-quality fleeced animals. Like his champion line suggests, Lapu carries an extremely FINE fleece all over his body. If you can imagine an extremely dense sheep with fine black bright fleece covering its whole body, and having a medium to long staple length, you can envision Red Granites Lapu...
In his showing days, Lapu was Red Granite Ranch's #1 Black show string male. He, along with all his siblings from his pedigree line, shined brilliantly in the showing.
FINENESS & BRIGHTNESS + DENSITY is key when breeding for color, especially black. We will definitely be fusing him into our dark colored lines.
We Have Some Dynamite News to Share... Lapu's first crias are on the ground! Watch for them on our 2023 show string!
