PATAGONIA'S EL GALAN Patagonia’s El Galan has an elegant, soft handle, buttery fleece, and is a strong-boned pure white herdsire that has recently had drop dead crias hit the ground. It is nice to finally select the right breedings for this magnificent male to see his full potential as a sire of champions. El Galan’s progeny truly remind me of what his sire, Patagonia’s Cayo, looked like when he was a juvenile. El Galan’s dam, Patagonia’s Fantasma, has a show record of her own, and is on our foundation herd. El Galan has a nice stature, very crimpy fleece that is remaining soft, bright, and silky. This sire is definitely passing on these wonderful characteristics to his progeny with bundling, beautiful structure, uniformity of micron count and color in their fleece, adding dense, dense fleece and staple length. During the 2017 show season, his stunning juvenile crias have received Color Champion, Reserve Champion, and Blue and Red ribbons. In addition, his daughter Estates Wedding Tapistry was selected as the 2017 ABI Judge's Choice Winner! We couldn't be more pleased!

Congratulations and thank you to Dianna Herschend of Olympic Ranch for her purchase of Estates Gretel! ESTATES GRETEL Gretel's ancestors are some of the most illustrious Canadian and Australian bloodlines. Her paternal grandsire, R&RR Oliver Twist has consistently produced outstanding offspring in Canada and the United States, that exhibit fine, uniform micron in their fleeces, along with crimp and correct, solid conformation. He is out of Canadian Judge Ruth Elvestad’s dynamic breeding program with emphasis on fineness, and density. Her dam Genie also comes from Ruth Evelstad's breeding program. Genie's paternal grandsire Tell Vivace is a black champion and producer of many champions. Her maternal grandsire is the famous black Canadian herdsire Cava Guivir Zorro. Offspring: On 3/9/17, Gretel gave birth to a good-looking fawn male sired by Snowmass Pure Passion. On 7/9/2018, Gretel gave us a lovely medium fawn female sired by Patagonia’s El Galan. On 7/28/19, Gretel gave birth to a beautiful light fawn female sired by Snowmass Pure Passion. In 2020, Gretel presented us with a handsome light fawn male cria.
