Patagonia’s Estates Sunrise Serenade is like a breath of fresh air. Serenade has an incredible light brown, bright silky fiber, a gorgeous head, and is well-grown for her age. Amanada VandenBosch evaluated her as an A- when viewing our herd.
Her sire, Patagonia’s Ernesto is “the pretty boy” fixer upper. He improves on fleece crimp and uniformity, producing dynamite “best head” for all of his cria, and adding density to the amount of fleece per square inch. He can make anyone’s cria look remarkable! When I first started raising alpacas eleven years ago, it was easy to recognize Ernesto’s cria and I would say, “Oh, that has to be Ernesto’s head,” etc. Ernesto really stamps all of his positive traits onto each of his offspring.
Sunrise Serenade’s dam, Patagonia’s Sonrisa is a beautiful looking alpaca who showed as a medium fawn at GWAS, taking 3rd Place. She has traits as a good strong female, making her a “B” female, but bred “right” she can produce an “A” cria. That is what our goal is when selecting who is bred to whom.
Serenade’s testing: AFD: 19.0; SD: 4.3; CV: 22.6; %>30: 1.8 (while nursing at 3 ½ years old)
