Meet our gorgeous light fawn 9x Champion, Estates Legendary Picasso. Senior AOA fleece judge, Diana Timmerman had this to say about him, "He has extreme density, superior fineness, beautiful length & brightness, & a well-built form." Judge Amanda VandenBosch assessed Picasso in May 2019 as an A- stating, "Picasso is maintaining fineness, has high frequency style crimp, uniformity across the blanket, good length to staple, use over color, and good cross back over Pure Passion offspring. " He was biopsied at 4.5 years by Dr. Norm Evans, DVM who said, "True Genetic Density: 80.5 follicles SQ MM; AFD: 16.53. Picasso's 250X scan which magnifies at 1000 times amazes me. Picasso shows only 20% of his secondary fibers have a degree of medullation. This male shows many strong genetic traits that should pass to his offspring. He has retained his fineness of fiber." Picasso is sired by our Andean's Pegasus of Country Estates, bringing genetics from PPeruvian Caligula, 4Peruvian Andean Gold, Snowmass Andean Bronze, & his sire, Snowmass Andean Midnight, a stunning, compact, true black “silky soft” male with an outstanding pedigree for fineness. His ribbon-winning dam is the daughter of Patagonia's Ernesto, our magnificent Judge's Choice, 7x Champion with 5x Get of Sire awards. Lindeza also gifts Picasso with the legendary genetics of her grandsires - Patagonia's Lennox & Nishio. We are thrilled to announce that son Estates Picasso’s Duke Malaga won Judge's Choice at 2023 FUTURITY & BOTH 2023 TxOlan shows! Judge Nasemann's comments: "A clear class winner. He's very correct, but the more exciting thing about him is the quality of fineness, the density & that amount of fiber. This male is packed in it! I was so impressed with that uniform micron, I took a second sample, & the belly is practically the same." Picasso's offspring first hit the show ring in 2021. To give you an idea of just how pleased we are with him, his daughter, Picasso's Charisma, represented our ranch (with Spirit Dancer & Passionate Fever), helping our ranch bring home a Blue-Ribbon for Breeder's Best Three at the 2021 Buckeye show!

Pick yourself one of our best! Estates Harmonic Passion has it all! Amazing phenotype, great lineage, beautiful fleece, and already a proven dam of gorgeous cria! She also has FOUR traits ranking in the Top 15% EPDs! Harmonic Passion’s sire, Snowmass Pure Passion is an enigmatic male who still turns heads at 16 years of age. Pure Passion’s 15.5-year-old histogram results are impressive: 21.8 AFD 4.0 SD 20.7 SF 18.2% CVD 8.0microns CEM 0.8%<15 96.6 CF 51.7 CRV 37.6 SDC. With his fantastic pedigree, fleece, and phenotype it’s not surprising that he is a cornerstone of Alpaca Country Estate’s breeding program. The proof of his excellence is in his progeny. He has sired many multiple champions and Judges Choice winners in an array of colors. Some of his most notable progenies are Estates Legacy Rose 2021 Dark Supreme female recipient, Estates Passionate Fever a 3 x Judges Choice winner and 14 x Champion, and Estates Pure Reflection a silver grey 9x champion. Harmonic Passion carries that gorgeously fine fleece and phenotype from her sire, just like her notable siblings. Harmonic Passion's maternal grandsire is our champion producer, Patagonia's Vittorio. Vittorio has a stunning head, and his fleece has incredible density and a uniform, high-frequency crimp. Harmonic Passion’s 2024 fleece displays a great degree of style, extreme fineness for her age, great uniformity of micron, superb density and brightness. Even with carrying crias she maintains a softness and good staple length to her fleece. Harmonic Passion received a Blue Ribbon and Reserve Championship banner during her show string debut at the 2020 A-OK Alpaca Blast-Off! Judge Wade Gease awarded Harmonic Passion the 2nd Place ribbon at the 2021 TXOLAN Bluebonnet Stakes (1st place winner was the color champion), she also won 2nd place at the 2021 TXOLAN Sweetheart Spectacular show. Her next cria will be sired by our co-owned male Alpaca Palace's Jay-Z. He is closed to outside breedings and we can’t wait to see what this pairing will produce. Even though she is medium fawn, she already had a black cria. Her sire carries true black as evident from her half siblings Estates Black Gold Passion, Estates Pure Reflection, and Estates Passionate Fever’s genotype. Harmonic Passion’s histograms and color genotyping are arriving soon. This cria will be a stunner! Will it be on your show string?
