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!

Judge Jude Anderson's comments, "The clear winner; Conformationally beautiful, good substance of bone, & coverage, when you open the fleece, the positive traits just keep on stacking up. She’s fine, dense, really soft, great indicator of that overall uniformity of micron that she’s carrying in her fleece from front to back.
