Dam: |
Platinum's Zora
ARI#: 1284355
Heritage: Peruvian and Chilean
Color: Dark Silver Grey
Zora, who got her name thanks to the mustache-like marking on her
mouth area that reminds us a lot of Zoro, the movie character, has
beautifully dense fleece (Nearly 5% of body weight) incredible top-knot
strong body, and markings with tremendous character. She is one of our
most photogenic alpaca: she always seems to be wearing a smile!Her fleece character is consistent throughout, with a high-frequency crimp, and a nice level of luster.
She has a very lively personality too, one of the more social alpaca at the farm.
She has outstanding heritage from the Bueno/El Dorado line. If you are looking for a beautiful medium-grey, look no further!
Zora
gave us her first cria, Rosa Bella. Zora has been the most attentive
mom to Rosa, but not over-protective. Enough attention, but not too much
to allow Rosa her independence. Rosa Bella is very dense, fine with
tremendous coverage, with consistency throughout.

Sire: |
CT Estrada
ARI#: 30522619
Heritage: Full Peruvian
Color: Medium Fawn
Estrada is a well-balanced male from two top parents. His Sire, Evander does it again with this amazingly dense, fine fleece male with a great
handle and luster, extensive coverage and a great body. With his 2012
shearing, Estrada had over 12.6 pounds of fleece sheared off. Amazing!!
We are very excited to have Estrada in our breeding program. Alpaca judge, Wade Gease has said about Estrada, "He is the "complete package". Very nice fleece style and crimp formation throughout. He has kept his fineness/softness." Also, Judge David Barboza has said about Estrada: "His architecture and density is incredible! Spot on!" And Alpaca Fleece Judge, Cheryl Gehly has written: "Wow! Fine with great character! Quite uniform for micron.""Beautiful Fleece: fine, bright, well organized!". Awarding him first place in the competition, and again, after the fleeces third showing at
the 2009 Empire Symposium and Fleece Event, she commented again;"Beautiful Fleece: fine, bright, well organized!". Most recent fleece circuit, Estrada's fleece (its fourth showing) took yet another blue at PAOBA show, May, 2009.
To date, Estrada has eight multiple Champ/Reserve Championships, and 27 first-place, blue-ribbon awards. See the details of his show record below, most in very competitive classes!
In 2009, Estrada's Fleece won the reserve Championship, and took first place in his class over another amazing alpaca who won the 2008 Futurity Championship that had 54 entries in the class!
Both dam and sire have produced Championship winners so his future is extremely promising indeed.
Estrada

pregnancy, stud fee: $2,500. Mobile breedings: $2,000. Drive-by
