We purchased the beautiful award-winning, multi-COLOR CHAMPION Patagonia's Manuelo at the 2008 Parade of Champions auction. We are very happy to have Manuelo in our herd and very interested to see his progeny as more and more are produced. Our first Manuelo crias have been born (2010 & 2011.) One cria is owned by Val Starr, Starr Alpaca Farm, another was sold at auction and the first female cria born we own. Named Roxce, once again a beautiful animal. Fine, crimpy fleece and this time Bay Black from white dam X medium brown (Manuelo) sire. This female, "Roxce", is bay black, and her dam is white.
Manuelo is a well-balanced alpaca, compact with excellent proportions, and a stunning head. His fleece is very dense and fine. When you touch his fleece you can't believe how soft he feels. Manuelo's 2008 fleece was graded by an apprentice 'certified sorter' which resulted in Grade 1 fleece. This male has buttery soft, consistent, very fine fleece.
Manuelo is sired by Dawson, a fawn Kaspa son with rose-grey genetics from both his dam and sire. Manuelo's dam, Venus produced Tyna, who has won numerous produce of dam awards and who produced some of Alpacas de la Patagonia's top alpacas such as Lennox and White Rose.
As a bonus, Manuelo is one of the most well-mannered, easy to handle alpacas in the known universe. Please visit soon so we can introduce you to Manuelo.
