Congratulations and thank you to Karlene Macedo (of Macedo Family Alpacas, LLC) for her purchase of Estates Shinso! With our outstanding new herdsires from Amber Autumn and upcoming junior herdsires, we made more room in herdsire row. Shinso is a fantastic Sakima son with velvety, dense fleece. With lots of Sakima offspring in our foundation herd, it was best to let him move to a new family. That does not indicate that Shinso was of less quality than what is desired in a herdsire. He is very fine, uniform in micron, plus has amazing density. Shinso has good bone, soft handle and an excellent bite! Being out of our true black stud, Patagonia Estates Sakima and Estates Andean Krizia, Shinso has ACE’s top black genetics. Sakima is a 6x Banner winner and won the AOA Black Reserve Championship at close to five years of age. Genetics from Sakima include Snowmass Andean Midnight and Patagonia's Lennox, a magical combination for success! Sakima has produced champion after champion. 85% of his offspring are black or grey. He always passes on his outstanding fleece and phenotype, known for great fineness, handle, and uniformity. From his first cria we can see that Shinso is doing the same. Shinso’s dam, Estates Andean Krizia, is a beautiful true black foundation female at ACE. She produces beautiful true-black cria with very soft handling fleece. His maternal grandsire is Snowmass Andean Midnight, the stunning, compact, jet black, silky-soft male with an outstanding pedigree for fineness. Sire of 26x champion - Estates Stradivarius, 2014 Judge's Choice & Color Champion - Estates Andean Daissann, as well as numerous other champions, Snowmass Andean Midnight is an elite male who offers proven genetics of brightness and handle! Shinso is a fantatic package from fleece, phenotype, to amazing ancestry.We are pleased to announce that Shinso brought home a second-place ribbon from his first show, the 2022 TXOLAN Sweetheart Spectacular! Shinso also won second place at the 2022 TXOLAN Blue Bonnet Stakes (**The first-place winner went on to win Color Championship). Shinso had his first cria at Alpaca Country Estates. She is stunning! True back with DENSE fleece, fantastic handle, organized crimp, perfect conformation, and bite.His first cria, Estates Satin Princess, is consigned to the 2023 Amber Autumn Auction. We picked some of our best and she is defiantly included in the top of that list.

ESTATES SATIN MARIJA Marija is sired by Estates Satin Cloud, an outstanding 8x Champion true black herdsire out of Snowmass Satin Reserve XX and Premier's Adriana. Satin is a well-structured, proud male with a very handsome head. He is fine with beautiful curvature, consistent fleece, dense, and bright. Satin Cloud's progeny won the Black Male Color Championship, Black Female Color Championship, and Black Male Reserve Color Championship banners at the 2019 Carolina Alpaca Showcase! Satin Cloud now resides in Sweden, making his genetics much more valuable. Marija'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. Estates Satin Marija ranked in the Top 25% EPD's for 2021. Offspring: On 6/24/22, Marija presented us with a lovely medium fawn female sired by 5x champion, Red Granites Lapu. On 7/30/23, Marija gave us a beautiful true black female sired by Estates Shinso (ribbon winning TB male out of Patagonia Estates Sakima). We are excited to announce that her daughter, Estates Satin Princess, just brought home a Color Championship banner at the 2024 MAPACA Mid-Atlantic Gala show!
