Congratulations to Mahesh and Susan Mallikarjun, of Natures Melodies LLC, for their purchase of Estates Matterhorn! It is with a lot of pride, that we offer you this top-notch male for your breeding program!! ESTATES MATTERHORN Multi-champion with a sweet, gentle disposition! You will fall in love with his fleece and with him! Estates Matterhorn has been a Champion since his juvenile days. There are not too many animals that go to a show as a juvenile, get a blue ribbon in a large class, and then go on to win the Championship for their color! This is what happened to this unique male. Matterhorn has magnificent fine, silky crimp, yet has enormous density. He is uniform in micron and staple length. I had to practically stand on my head to see his crimp structure still present in the middle of his belly! Matterhorn's fleece has beautifully bright, zipper crimp and is consistent on shoulder, hind end, and into his legs. You can see a beautiful lock structure in his head. In our book, Matterhorn has one more attribute that is essential with our herdsires at ACE; a sweet, gentle disposition! Matterhorn has multi-champion genetics! His sire is our dark brown herdsire Andean's Pegasus of Country Estates, a 3x Color Championship winner at IAO. His paternal grandsire is Snowmass Andean Midnight, our beautiful, compact, "silky soft" male with an outstanding pedigree for fineness. Matterhorn's dam, Patagonia's Marinella was the Brown Color Champion at Alpacapalooza in 2013, and was assessed by Judge Amanda VandenBosch as an A- with strong points in all areas of conformation; as well as areas of fiber including fineness and handle, uniformity of micron, density, brightness, lack of medullation and coverage. Fiber Stats (at 2 yrs. old): AFD: 22.5; SD: 4.7; CV: 20.8; %>30: 6.0 News Flash: Matterhorn has cria on the ground and we can't believe our eyes! They are STUNNING!
