PATAGONIA'S CHARMED - SOLD

PATAGONIA'S STERLING Sterling is a beautiful alpaca with excellent bloodlines. Two of Alpaca de la Patagonia's top herdsires are in her genetic makeup - Patagonia's Neruda (sire) and Shackleton (paternal grandsire). If you are not familiar with Neruda, he sold in April 2007 for $205,000 in the All-American Futurity when he was 8 years old. At 2.5 years of age, Neruda's histogram was: afd=17.4m, sd=3.6m, cv=20.5%, >30=0.7%. Neruda's crias are easily identifiable by their extremely fine fleeces, beautiful heads, substantially thick bone and extensive fiber coverage Sterling's maternal grandsire, Sinopsis Nocturna, is jet black and fine. His outstanding fleece was recognized at the 1999 AOBA conference, where it was awarded the blue ribbon. His crias have beautiful heads, and elegant presence. In 2024, Sterling has Top 15% EPDs! Offspring: In 2012, Sterling had a beautiful true black female sired by 10x champion Patagonia's Amancio. Amancio's first crias are on the ground, and they are spectacular! In 2014, Sterling gave birth to a lovely bay black female sired by Patagonia's Antonio. Antonio is passing on his outstanding tributes. His offspring are hitting the show ring and winning! In 2015, Sterling gave us a handsome medium silver-grey male sired by Chief Grey Feather. Chief Grey Feather has passed along brightness, fineness and density to each cria that has hit the ground so far! In 2017, Sterling had a cute true black male sired by Estates Gray Beard, a beautiful-fleeced male with the sought-after Aussie .38 Special genetics. In 2018, Sterling presented us with a beautiful MRG female sired by our Estates Avignon. Avignon is the son of NeverSummer’s US Steel. US Steel is no secret to grey breeders & his son just keeps getting better with age. In 2019, Sterling had an adorable white male who weighed in at 18.8 lbs. In 2020, Sterling presented us with a wonderful true black male out of Snowmass Pure Passion, our 2x blue-ribbon Get of Sire winner who has sired numerous champions. In 2021, Sterling gave us a pretty white female sired by our multi-champion, KVR's Peruvian True Eye Candy "Ike".
