Meet our gorgeous light fawn 9x Champion, Estates Legendary Picasso. Senior AOA fleece judge, Diana Timmerman had this to say about him, "He has extreme density, superior fineness, beautiful length & brightness, & a well-built form." Judge Amanda VandenBosch assessed Picasso in May 2019 as an A- stating, "Picasso is maintaining fineness, has high frequency style crimp, uniformity across the blanket, good length to staple, use over color, and good cross back over Pure Passion offspring. " He was biopsied at 4.5 years by Dr. Norm Evans, DVM who said, "True Genetic Density: 80.5 follicles SQ MM; AFD: 16.53. Picasso's 250X scan which magnifies at 1000 times amazes me. Picasso shows only 20% of his secondary fibers have a degree of medullation. This male shows many strong genetic traits that should pass to his offspring. He has retained his fineness of fiber." Picasso is sired by our Andean's Pegasus of Country Estates, bringing genetics from PPeruvian Caligula, 4Peruvian Andean Gold, Snowmass Andean Bronze, & his sire, Snowmass Andean Midnight, a stunning, compact, true black “silky soft” male with an outstanding pedigree for fineness. His ribbon-winning dam is the daughter of Patagonia's Ernesto, our magnificent Judge's Choice, 7x Champion with 5x Get of Sire awards. Lindeza also gifts Picasso with the legendary genetics of her grandsires - Patagonia's Lennox & Nishio. We are thrilled to announce that son Estates Picasso’s Duke Malaga won Judge's Choice at 2023 FUTURITY & BOTH 2023 TxOlan shows! Judge Nasemann's comments: "A clear class winner. He's very correct, but the more exciting thing about him is the quality of fineness, the density & that amount of fiber. This male is packed in it! I was so impressed with that uniform micron, I took a second sample, & the belly is practically the same." Picasso's offspring first hit the show ring in 2021. To give you an idea of just how pleased we are with him, his daughter, Picasso's Charisma, represented our ranch (with Spirit Dancer & Passionate Fever), helping our ranch bring home a Blue-Ribbon for Breeder's Best Three at the 2021 Buckeye show! Of the Eight Picasso offspring that Competed in the show ring through March 2023, they won: 3 coveted Judge's Choice Banners; 9 Color Championship Banners; 6 Reserve Championship Banners; 24 Blue-Ribbons; 17 Second Place Ribbons; & 70/74 awards were for Third Place or Higher Placements! This Stunning Multi-Champion now has many Champion and Internationally Recognized Progenies. Here are just a few: ESTATES PICASSO'S DUKE MALAGA - 3X Judge's Choice Awards, 14X Champion, Numerous Blues (Poland) ESTATES PICASSO'S FAMOUS PAINTING - 2X Champion & Numerous Blues ESTATES PICASSO'S LEAH ROSE XXX - 2x BEST BRED & OWNED, Numerous Blues ESTATES GOLDEN MIRAGE - Color Champion & Multiple Blues ESTATES WHITE BUFFALO - Res.

Congratulations and thank you to Dianna Herschend of Olympic Ranch for her purchase of Aleutian Eagle Patagonia's Arctica and her 2021 male! ALEUTIAN EAGLE PATAGONIA'S ARCTICA Arctica is out of our multiple award-winning Juneau and Amancio. This combination also produced 12x champion, Arctic Rose, and Arctica is the only full sibling to Arctic Rose. Arctica was assessed by Judge Amanda Vandenbosch as an A- quality with "excellent fineness and soft handle" along with "uniformity of micron. Arctica's sire, Amancio is closely related to Nishio, one of Patagonia's top herdsire. Nishio was the 2004 All-American Herdsire of the Year, and the 2007 Reserve Herdsire of the Year. Amancio's sire, Kaspa, is a 6-time grey champion and one of Patagonia's restricted herdsires. Amancio's fleece is bright, extremely dense, and exhibits a consistent high frequency crimp. 5x Champion and 8x Produce of Dam Winner, Patagonia Juneau (Arctica's dam) is one of the true matriarchs of the Patagonia genetics line and provides a firm foundation for the herd for lovely fineness. Juneau's crias always make our show string. This is one girl we are very excited about! Her fineness and density are a repeat of her dam. Offspring: In 2016, Arctica gave us a beautiful white female sired by R&R Trojan. Trojan, an Oliver Twist son, comes from Canadian Judge Ruth Elvestad’s dynamic breeding program with emphasis on not only fineness, but density as well! Her daughter, Estates Aleutian Amoretto brought home 2nd Place ribbons from the AOA National Show & California Classic Shows in 2017. In 2017, Arctica had a handsome bay black male sired by our magnificent champion producer, Snowmass Pure Passion. Her son recently won Reserve Champion and 1st Place at the 2019 Houston Livestock Show! In 2018, Arctica gave birth to a good-looking white male. In 2020, Arctica presented us with a lovely light fawn female sired by our gorgeous light fawn 8x Champion & multi–Blue Ribbon Winner, Estates Legendary Picasso. In 2021, Arctica gave us a good-looking white male sired by our outstanding, Snowmass Pure Passion.
