Red Granite Ranch, Ltd.

Description

Sold! Congratulations to Highland Park Ranch, Brittany Alexander and Corey Glasscock on purchasing Enticing! She is being bred to Red Granites Aragon for a sensational 2026 cria!

Red Granites Enticing lives up to her name - she is an exciting female and intriguing genetic lineage cross. She has a stunning combination of elite COLOR and elite WHITE with LONGEVITY beyond compare...

Her dam is a highly-revered Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose daughter out of an Accoyo America Apocalypse daughter named Red Granites Sizlin Elegance.

Her sire, Red Granites Bad Boy, is a powerful Herdsire with longevity (<22 microns). His first histogram test reported an AFD of 14.7. At 5 years he tested AFD 17.1 and at 9 years he tested 19.7. Now testing at 10 years of age, his fineness has not diminished and his AFD holding at 21.5 microns with 2.9 %<30 and curve of 47.9. Bad Boy is packed full of color genetics and crosses the Snowmass Sub-Zero line with Snowmass Matrix and Snowmass XXXtreme. We have only released one female and one male from Bad Boy, and we think this is one of his best daughters yet...

Enticing carries through with a well balanced frame with correct proportions and great bone substance to her. Her bite is perfect. Additionally, she has great capacity in her front and rear, perfect for her future as a foundation dam. She has a short muzzle with a full-coverage head, and an over all very favorable show-winning phenotype. She does have a quarter sized fawn spot on her front right shoulder.

Her 2023 EPDs reveal she has 5 traits in the Top 5%, but they are actually between 1.83% and 2.52%. They reveal her primary strength is her uniformity of micron, fineness following behind, reduction of primary fibers, and then fleece archetecture.

Her fleece is so dreamy! She grows a very buttery, cool, soft handling fleece which is a key indicator of her uniformity and fineness levels. When you pull a sample from her you see extreme uniformity of micron, with little primary fibers. She has a very bright fleece as well. She seems to also be taking after her sire with her trait data carryig a 2-year old test that reads: AFD 16.8, SD 3.6, CV 21.5, %30 0.5, MEAN CURV 56.3, SPIN FINENESS 16.4. Not only did she get finer but she also improved on all of her other traits!

Enticing can come home from the auction with us and immediately be bred to a Red Granite sire. Our top choice's would our 2-time AOA National Champion, Red Granites Aragon, who at 8 years holds a 20.8 micron and 52.6 curve with 2.1 %<30 or 2023 AOA National White Male Color Champion, Red Granites Colo Lsere, who has just begun breeding for us and currently holds a 18.9 micron fleece with 55.8 curve and 0.5 %<30.

We did not take this decision lightly, and it was especially difficult knowing she is one of Bad Boy's best daughters yet. We know that breeders love very special genetic packages and that is the motivation behind our offering in Enticing.
