Estates Royal Midnight Mishelle is a striking true black female combining bright, uniform fleece, sound conformation & exceptional championship-winning black and grey genetics. A daughter of 9x Champion Granite Bay Royal Steel and Reserve Champion NPA Truly Midnight, she offers outstanding pedigree depth and an exciting first cria anticipated in September 2027!
Mishelle displays beautiful fleece brightness, uniformity & good staple length. Her compact, balanced frame, broad chest & correct bite complement her striking true black color, making her an appealing young foundation female.
Her sire, Granite Bay Royal Steel, is a medium silver grey 9x Champion known for fine, soft, dense fleece and extensive coverage. Norm Evans measured his fleece density at an impressive 65 follicles/mm². A son of Neversummer's US Steel, Royal Steel is a grandson of legendary 17x Champion, 2x Judge's Choice Aussie .38 Special, adding influential grey genetics to Mishelle's pedigree.
Her dam, NPA Truly Midnight, earned the 2021 CABA Classic Walking Fleece Reserve Color Championship and blue ribbons at the 2023 Futurity, 2021 Alpaca Western Extravaganza, 2021 CABA Classic & 2021 TXOLAN Bluebonnet Stakes. This accomplished true black female is admired for substantial bone, excellent conformation, abundant coverage & long-stapled, soft fleece.
Truly Midnight is by R Creek's Legendary Eclipse, a true black herdsire who earned the 2016 MAPACA Jubilee Color Championship and 2016 Futurity Reserve Color Championship. At 48 months, Eclipse's fleece biopsy recorded 74.5 follicles/mm², a 13.4:1 secondary-to-primary follicle ratio & an average fiber diameter of 18.63 microns, a remarkable combination of density and fineness. Mishelle also carries distinguished Snowmass genetics through Snowmass Truly Graceful.
Mishelle was bred in September 2026 to 6x Champion Patagonia Estates Sakima, with her first cria anticipated in September 2027. This celebrated true black herdsire combines fine, bright, dense fleece with strong conformation and extensive coverage. His pedigree includes Patagonia's Lennox & Snowmass Andean Midnight.
Sakima has sired 12x Champion Estates Sakima's Braxton, 5x Champion Estates Zorro the Magnificent and Estates Wind Beneath My Wings, the 2025 AOA National Dark Supreme Champion, 3x Judge's Choice winner & 7x Champion. His silver grey Color Champion son, Estates Silver Stratus, now stands in Belgium.
Most exciting, Sakima has already produced a true black daughter, Estates Sakima's Midnight Ingenue, with Mishelle's dam, NPA Truly Midnight! That proven family pairing adds particular interest to Mishelle's anticipated cria and the potential for exceptional black offspring.
With her attractive true black fleece, balanced conformation, remarkable density and fineness in her ancestry, and anticipated September 2027 cria by Sakima, Estates Royal Midnight Mishelle offers both immediate breeding value & long-term potential.
