Estrada's Hot Shot, Medium Brown, 12.9 ~ Estrada's Bosco, Light Brown, 13.9 ~ Estrada's Pelegrina, Beige, 14.0 ~ Estrada's Marco, Beige, 14.1 ~ Estrada's Nicola, Medium Brown, 14.3 ~ Estrada's Summer Solstice, Dark Brown, 14.5 ~ Estrada's Lucca, Light Fawn, 14.6 ~ Estrada's IL Tesoro, Light Fawn, 14.6 ~ Estrada's Milo, Medium Fawn, 14.7 ~ Estrada's Marcella, Medium Brown, 14.9
Amazing results!! (Many of Estrada's off-spring listed are available for sale, so please inquire for details-SD, CV and %>30u figures can be provided on any animal.)
Estrada is a well-balanced male from two top parents. His Sire, Evander does it again with this amazingly dense, fine fleece male with a great handle and luster, extensive coverage and a great body. With his 2012 shearing, Estrada had over 12.6 pounds of fleece sheared off. Amazing!!!
We are very excited to have Estrada in our breeding program. Alpaca judge, Wade Gease has said about Estrada, "He is the "complete package". Very nice fleece style and crimp formation throughout. He has kept his fineness/softness." Also, Judge David Barboza has said about Estrada: "His architecture and density is incredible! Spot on!" And Alpaca Fleece Judge, Cheryl Gehly has written: "Wow! Fine with great character! Quite uniform for micron.""Beautiful Fleece: fine, bright, well organized!". Awarding him first place in the competition, and again, after the fleeces third showing at the 2009 Empire Symposium and Fleece Event, she commented again;"Beautiful Fleece: fine, bright, well organized!". Estrada's fleece (its fourth showing) took yet another blue at PAOBA show, May, 2009.
