PATAGONIA'S ERNESTO: Patagonia’s Ernesto is a magnificent light brown compact herdsire that improves every dam to her fullest potential. Before I purchased Ernesto, I bred numerous females to this dynamic male just to see what he could do. I discovered that I could take an average dam, breed her to Ernesto, and voila, he would produce a stunning offspring. This feat was proven when we had hundreds of the females assessed with their juvenile crias. Time and time again, the cria scored better than the dam so I knew I had something special going on with this male and one way to obtain improvement in the production of our breeding program. In many ways, Patagonia’s Ernesto has surpassed his one of a kind sire, Patagonia’s Lennox, and what Lennox has been able to achieve in his life-time. Ernesto’s dam, R&RR Irishea, is a light fawn from Ruth and Rodney Elvestad’s Canadian breeding program whose goal was to have lasting fine fleece, yet have the fleece to be the ultimate in density as well. Ruth operates Olds College in Canada working with fiber. Irishea is out of one of my very favorite males, CAVA Guivar Zorro, a true black import. He has many good breeding years left and would love to have the opportunity to prove it!

CRESCENT MOON'S CARLESSA Carlessa is packed with prominent Crescent Moon DNA. In fact, she is so packed with it that she reveals a Crescent Moon on the top of her head. Follow me: Poppy is the dam of Rayo del Sol and is also the dam of Morning Glory. Morning Glory is the dam of Carlessa, but she is also a daughter of Kryptonite, who is a son of Legacy. Carlessa's sire is 10x Champion Greener Pastures Copenhagen, a son of the great Legacy daughter, Crescent Moon's Chocolate Decadence, and Crescent Moon's Valentino whose blood runs deep throughout the Crescent Moon herd. Clear as mud? Think of it this way...Carlessa is the product of very calculated breeding and phenomenal genetics. Another notable sires on her paternal line include Danko 532 (a phenomenal grey herdsire from Alpacas de la Patagonia) and 4Peruvian Legacy (a 29x Get of Sire ribbon winner. Legacy was the 2002 Futurity Herdsire of the Year; and the Reserve Light Herdsire of the Year in both 2005 and 2007.).
