US STEEL SON and PROVEN GREY PRODUCER! We are proud to include Estates Silver Titan in our grey breeding program and start creating our next generation of awesome greys… Titan is a handsome medium silver-grey male with gorgeous, buttery fleece and amazing genetics! His 2018 daughter won a Blue Ribbon at the 2019 Gold Country Gathering, showing he is passing down those wonderful traits! When you look at this pedigree, tell us that is not what you would expect! Titan's sire, Neversummer's US Steel, is a 3x Futurity Herdsire of the Year, known for his extreme fineness and soft handle, and his paternal grandsire is none other than 17x Color Champion & 2x Judge's Choice Winner, Aussie .38 Special! Titan's paternal line is composed of generation after generation of champion-producing legends! NEVERSUMMER'S US STEEL, AUSSIE .38 SPECIAL, VICTOR'S HEMIACCOYO CASANOVA, PPERUVIAN VICTOR G4563, CRESCENT MOON'S RAYO DEL SOL, DANKO, and SHOW ME THE MONEY. What more could you ask for with proven genetics like these? His dam, KCAF Rroyal Silver Truffles, is the best producing grey on our entire ranch! Her sire, Snowmass RRoyal Fox (2010 AOBA Gray Composite Champion), is from Snowmass' Royal Bronze and Casanova bloodlines. RRoyal Fox is a full Peruvian with '98 imported true black and maroon granddams, so he's unrelated to all other gray bloodlines! TITAN'S SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Silver Titan played a key role on our 2014 and 2015 show strings. Judge Sharon Loner awarded him Color Champion (out of a class of 10) at the 2015 California Classic. In addition, he brought home Blue Ribbons from the 2014 Northwest Alpaca Showcase, 2014 AlpacaMania, 2015 California Classic halter Shows, and a Blue Ribbon from the 2015 West Coast Alpaca Show for Walking Fleece. Amanda VandenBosch awarded Titan 2nd Place at the 2015 TxOLAN Alpaca Spectacular (out of a class of 6). At the 2014 Caba Classic, Judge Kristin Buhrmann remarked, “He has fineness and density; and is a good size for his age. The youngest in class, at 6 months of age, yet he has fullness in his chest.” BLUE-RIBBON WINNING PROGENY!

Description

Congratulations and thank you to Kathy McConnell (Peterborough, Ontario, Canada) for her purchase of Patagonia’s Calafate. PATAGONIA'S CALAFATE Calafate was named after the purple berries found in the Patagonia. She has soft fleece and is nicely balanced on a strong frame. Patagonia’s Calafate was assessed by Amanda VandenBosch as an A- female with a soft hand, good length for staple, even uniformity of light & dark grey, lack of medullation, uniformity of micron, and good overall appearance. We selected the Champion Estates Silver Titan with magnificent fine, bright crimp along with a long staple length plus density to rebreed Calafate with a due date of late September, 2018. Silver Titan’s micron count is AFD: 20.5; SD: 5.0; CV: 24.1; %>30 3.3. The percentage of grey offspring when breeding tuxedo to tuxedo is 85%. Start thinking of grey cria names! Offspring: On 9/1/2016, Calafate gave us a lovely TB female cria sired by our Chief Grey Feather. Chief Grey Feather has "Royal Lineage" and is a light silver grey, with great conformation including a straight front and rear, correct bite, and a large solid frame. His fleece has ideal fineness, a silky hand which is uniform throughout with high frequency and well-defined crimp which extends down to the lower belly. There are virtually no guard hairs. He is known for his brightness and density. Grey Feather has received many awards at GWAS, The Futurity, IAO, Gold Country Gathering, and Dixon shows. Grey Feather has passed along brightness, fineness and density to each cria that has hit the ground so far! On 9/7/2017, Calafate presented us with a beautiful MSG female sired by Estates Gray Beard. Looking at her female cria shows you what she can produce. Estate Silver Calliope is stunning just to look at with no spots in the blanket, and she has her dam’s sweet disposition. The cria has beautiful, bright crimp into the underbelly & great coverage on her legs. Yocom testing: AFD:19.2; SD: 3.9; CV: 20.3; %>30: 1.8. Calliope’s sire is Estates Gray Beard, a beautiful fleece male with the sought-after Aussie .38 Special genetics.
