Congratulations and thank you to Brian Smith & Valerie Reiser, of Plum Creek Alpacas, for their purchase of Patagonia's Chief! PATAGONIA'S CHIEF Patagonia’s Chief, a true black top-sire on our ranch. Not only is he a champion, Chief is a proven Champion producer as well. He adds lots of density and staple length to his progeny, not to mention fineness, handsome typey head, and substance of bone. Chief's crias so far have had beautiful structure and uniformity, retained fineness, and consistency within their fiber. Depending upon the color of the dam, he has produced true black, bay black, silver grey, rose grey, brown & fawn offspring. Patagonia’s Chief is the son of of the legendary Patagonia's Lennox, who has countless ribbons, and is a 14x Get of Sire winner, including 3 Get-of-Sire Blue Ribbons! (Not to mention, he’s also the sire of Ernesto, our 7-time champion and Judge’s Choice ACE stud!) Chief's paternal grandsire is Danko 532, a multiple award-winning Grey champion stud from Alpacas de la Patagonia who is well-known in the alpaca world for throwing champions of all colors, especially grey and black (including many AOBA Champions). His dam, Patagonia’s Allegra won the Brown Color Championship banner for fleece at the 2008 AOBA National Show. Allegra also received 12 other ribbons, including Produce of Dam, two first place ribbons at AOBA, first place at MAPACA, and a second place ribbon at The Futurity. On top of that, Chief's maternal grandsire, Nishio was the 2004 All-American Herdsire of the Year and the 2007 Reserve All-American Herdsire of the Year!

SA DIAMANTE'S BLACKROCK BlackRock is certainly eye-catching and is a wonderful addition to the herdsires at Alpaca Country Estates. In the showring, his gorgeous phenotype continually drew attention. He was just right to bring some new and championship genetics to the farm. BlackRock is a solid copy of his sire with a full head, short square muzzle, heavy bone coverage on a typey, balanced frame. BlackRock's fleece traits complement his show presence with a compressed dense fleece, high frequency crimp, softness of hand, and notable brightness. It feels like cool velvet. Samples of his fleece show very few primary fibers with a low micron and excellent uniformity in his secondary fibers. His excellent fiber combined with his studly appearance made him succeed in the showring. BlackRock was awarded the 2022 Reserve Black Championship at Futurity and Reserve Champion at CABA! He is a 4th generation champion. BlackRock’s genetics are superb and filled with Snowmass ancestry. His sire, Snowmass Midnight Diamante is a 7x Champion with a track record of being the #1 Black Herd Sire three years running with over 50 bannered offspring. He created champion after champion with the majority of his offspring being black. He also created stunning silver grey cria. Behind Black Rock Diamante are prestigious lines such Snowmass Matrix Midnight, Snowmass Matrix, Snowmass XXXtreme, Snowmass Conopa XXX, Snowmass Andean Night, Hemingway, and more. Rock solid genetic powerhouse, BlackRock, will accelerate your black breeding program to new highs. Breeders, take this opportunity to add BlackRock’s esteemed genetics and attributes to your herd!
