ESTATES ZEPHYRUS OF TROY
Zephyrus was named in honor of his famous grandsire, 382 Peruvian Zephyrus, a 10x Color Champion and 2005 Futurity Reserve Herdsire of the Year. His sire is 4x champion, Amber Autumn Troy, the product of a pairing between the legendary Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose & Zephyrus daughter, Amber Autumn Tehya. Troy's prestigious awards include 2019 AOA National Show Color Champion & 2019 The Futurity Reserve Champion. Troy has also produced numerous champions, including 2x Judge's Choice and 5x Champion, AA Royal Ruby. His son, Amber Autumn Ringmaster, is also a multiple champion producer in our stud row. Zephyrus' paternal grandsire is 22x champion, Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose who won the 2016 Huacaya Herdsire of The Year, large breeder Division, as well as the 2017 Reserve Herdsire of The Year Dark-colored offspring, large breeder Division!
Zephyrus' dam is Estates Cremona Challenge, a banner winner with soft, fine and dense fleece. She is out of two true black Champions, Patagonia’s Baccus and Estates Cassidy. Her sire, Patagonia’s Baccus brings legendary sires, Patagonia's Ernesto, Patagonia's Lennox, Danko 532, El Mito 574, Venus 417, R&RR Irishea 017N, Cava Guivir Zorro 09H8, Cava Isalia Valentino 507, Nishio, and El Padre, while her dam adds the magnificent genetics of Snowmass Andean Midnight, Snowmass Andean Night, Kirwin, Snowmass Andean Bronze, Crescent Moon's Rayo Del Sol and Crescent Moon's Kryptonite.
With such elite genetics, this handsome guy was destined to be on our show string. We are excited to announce that Judge Wade Gease awarded Estates Zephyrus of Troy a second place ribbon at the 2025 AOA National show! His comments were, "First & second place weren’t that far apart from each other overall. From top to bottom they had a very similar range. Second place – I do give you credit for just even a denser fleece (than 1st), and it's stamped out and it’s actually quite bright so very complimentary. Great job, I love seeing that excitement and general density overall throughout that young guy’s fleece." Watch for Estates Zephyrus of Troy again at the 2025 Buckeye Alpaca Show!
