ESTATES LEGENDARY PICASSO
Meet our gorgeous light fawn 9x Champion & multi–Blue Ribbon Winner, Estates Legendary Picasso, a proven herdsire with his first offspring on the ground in 2019. Judge Amanda VandenBosch assessed Picasso in May 2019 as an A- stating, "Picasso in maintaining fineness, has high frequency style crimp, uniformity across the blanket, good length to staple, use over color, and good cross back over Pure Passion offspring. " He was biopsied at 4.5 years by Dr. Norm Evans, DVM who said, "True Genetic Density: 80.5 follicles SQ MM; AFD: 16.53. Picasso's 250X scan which magnifies at 1000 times amazes me. Picasso shows only 20% of his secondary fibers have a degree of medullation. This male shows many strong genetic traits that should pass to his offspring. He has retained his fineness of fiber"

Picasso is sired by our very Andean's Pegasus of Country Estates. Pegasus has genetics from PPeruvian Caligula, 4Peruvian Andean Gold, Snowmass Andean Bronze, and his sire, the stunning TB Snowmass Andean Midnight, a beautiful, compact, true black “silky soft” male with an outstanding pedigree for fineness. His ribbon winning dam is the daughter of Patagonia's Ernesto, our magnificent Judge's Choice, 7x Champion & 5x Get of Sire award winning light brown herdsire. Lindeza also gifts Picasso with the legendary genetics of her grandsires - Patagonia's Lennox and Nishio.

Picasso is currently a 9x Champion! He also took part of our Breeders Best Three to give you an idea how pleased we are with him, helping our ranch bring home a Blue Ribbon (2017 CABA Classic) At the 2017 CABO, Judge: Diana Timmerman had this to say - "He has extreme density, superior fineness, beautiful length & brightness & a well-built form.

This Stunning Multi-Champion has outstanding cria on the ground! His Champion and ribbon-winning progeny first hit the show ring in 2021. In 2022, three earned championship banners! Watch for them again at the 2023 shows!
