Gibraltar’s Gold Sweetheart is your chance to add new genetics to your herd! Gibraltar of FJA and Estates Satin Cloud are backing up this female. She’s not just a pedigree, she is a robust female with dreamy fleece. Sweetheart is also as exactly as her name implies, a sweet and calm female. Perfect ingredients for creating an indispensable foundation female.
It’s clear when you see her sire, Sweetheart gets her thick bone, wide chest, great capacity, straight back, and muscle from Gibraltar. Gibraltar of FJA is a powerhouse- both genetics and phenotype. Gibraltar descends from generations of elite Snowmass genetics! He is out of 5X champion Snowmass Best in Velvet (whose offspring have earned a judge's choice awards and amassed numerous color championships.) His lineage also boasts of: Snowmass Velvet Touche, Snowmass Best in Velvet, Snowmass Best Man, CSAF Peruvian Grand Gigi, AML El Duro’s Principio Victor’s Vaccoyo, PPeruvian Victor, Accoyo PPPeruvian Royal Fawn, Accoyo PPeruvian Camillo, and 4P Legacy. His well aligned pedigree gave him phenomenal fleece! Incredible density, superior fineness, uniformity, and long staple are the hallmarks of his fleece. It also has moderately high frequency & high amplitude to the crimp style. The Gibraltar offspring have just started appearing in the showring and they are impressive. Gibraltar himself received the coveted Judge's Choice trophy at the 2018 Buckeye Fall Fest. He has also been recognized with 3X Color Championships during his stellar show career. Gibraltar passed on his density, excellent fineness, and fleece character to Sweetheart.
Gibraltar’s Sweetheart is also named after her dam, Satin Sweetheart, a beautiful true black champion female sired by Estates Satin Cloud. Satin Cloud is an outstanding 8x Champion true black herdsire residing in Europe, making these genetics very limited. Satin Sweetheart is also a 1/2 sister to 26x Champion, Estates Stradivarius and our champion herdsire Estates Satin Sebastian. Satin Sweetheart has a pedigree loaded with black genetics, including Snowmass Satin Reserve XX, Nisho, The Reverend Mr. Black, and Premier’s Adriana.
Gibraltar’s Sweetheart really does have all the traits lined up! Her fleece displays amazing fineness and uniformity. Micro staples and zippered high-frequency crimp are very appealing along with great brightness and long staple. The handle is sublime. Sweetheart showed with cria tips in Spring of 2024, but we are excited to show her off for the beauty that she is this fall. It’s hard to part with such a beautiful female. She comes with full farm warranties and her maiden breeding to any solely owned herdsire at ACE. We would choose Amber Autumn Ringmaster or Patagonia Estates Sakima, who is closed. Watch for her at the ACE’s Loaded Auction in February of 2025.

He has straight legs, great bone, & a correct bite. His fleece is just as impressive. A stated, his fleece is DENSE! It is also very bright. His secondary fibers are very fine with a few primary fibers & very consistent micron & color. His handle once inside his fiber is Divine…He has great staples with some micro bundling as well.

Feeling the fleece, the crimp stands out as little ridges that you can feel. All those Snowmass genetics lined up to create this suburb herdsire.
Divine Inspiration had not been shown by his previous owners, at five years old, we took this breeding male on the road. We were thrilled at his calm temperament & ease to handle in a new environment. He was even hugged by multiple children at one time with no withdraw reflex. When it came time to show, he wowed us by receiving 9 banners, 7 Color Champions, in his show season as a five year old! We were ecstatic as he earned 3 Judge’s Choice awards. The judges consistently commented on his extreme density, fineness for his age, strong & correct frame, great head, & the style his fleece was maintaining.

We proudly present Sakima’s Enrica for your consideration. She comes from the elite genetics of Patagonia Estate’s Sakima and Satin Cloud!
Enrica catches your eye with her stocky frame and beautiful jet-black fleece. She has thick, straight legs with coverage all the way to her toes. She is well muscled but still has a true-to-type and feminine look. Her bite and all conformation traits are correct. Her head is wedge shaped with a short muzzle and full coverage. She moves fluidly, is easy to handle, and an easy keeper. All ideal for a foundation dam. Her fleece is another fantastic example of the softness present in the Sakima offspring. Enrica has a very fine and long stapling fleece with good density and crimp style. She carries a uniform crimp style across her blanket with little variation. Her fleece is very bright and nourished at the skin, feeling silky and luscious.
Enrica’s sire is our outstanding 6x champion, and multiple champion producer Sakima. Sakima is known for not only the softness he adds to his cria but the density, superior fineness, beautiful brightness, independent bundling, and extending of the prime fiber. On the conformation side Sakima has good substance of bone, correct conformation, a square frame, and coverage from his head to his toes! . Genetics for Sakima include Snowmass Andean Midnight and Patagonia's Lennox, a magical combination for success! Sakima's progenies have been recognized in the USA and Internationally. His offspring were awarded BOTH Male & Female 2021 AOA National Invited Champion Banners! In 2024 his offspring are still taking banners!
Enrica’s dam is a gorgeous true-black foundation dam at Alpaca Country Estates. Elaina is sired by Estates Satin Cloud, an outstanding 8x Champion true black herdsire out of Snowmass Satin Reserve XX and Premier's Adriana. On her bottom side, we have taken the best Patagonia lines including Patagonia’s Lennox and crossed it with R&RR Oliver Twist and Topgun, both from Canada, to create exceptional fleece. The pairing with Sakima to create Enrica was a match made in heaven.
For her maiden breeding we chose Amber Autumn Ameretto, another top black line, for an exquisite cria! Amber Autumn Ameretto has sired many blue-ribbon Futurity and National show winners. Ameretto has produced 80% black offspring. He stamps his outstanding coverage, correct frame, thick bone, consistent crimp style, and fine fleece on his offspring. This line is our go-to for improving phenotype in black, he is that consistent! His lineage includes his sire Snowmass XXXtreme Legacy XXX, Snowmass Conopa XXX, Snowmass XXXtreme, Peruvian Bueno and more! A perfect match for Enrica.
Sakima is now closed, and Satin Cloud resides in Europe. Enrica is a fantastic opportunity to add ACE’s best to your herd. Enrica comes with full farm warranties. We are very excited for her Ameretto cria in 2025!

Franchesca will steal your gaze and your heart! This lovely light silver grey female is exactly what grey breeders seek out. Franchesca is impressive with a stunning super-model frame, gorgeous head, and shining fleece sporting an aluminum color. The name Silver Thread’s Franchesca suits her perfectly. We wanted to consign our best and a grey female by our champion producer Sakima was perfect.
Franchesca comes by her beauty easily as her sire and dam are both amazing producers with fantastic lineage. Her sire, Patagonia Estates Sakima is a gorgeous jet-black male who passes on his fine, bright, and amazingly dense bundling fleece with a superb luxurious handle. He has great substance of bone and magnificent head and leg coverage. Genetics for Sakima include Snowmass Andean Midnight and Patagonia's Lennox, a magical combination for success! Sakima is a six-time champion, consistently produces champion offspring, and is a cornerstone of the breeding program at Alpaca Country Estates.
Franchesca’s dam, Estate Leonie has produced us two stunning grey females and has cemented herself as part of our foundation herd. Leonie is a beautiful fine-fleeced female who passes on her suburb density and uniform fiber. Her sire is Estates Grey Beard, a stunning classic grey male. She carries the sought-after genetics of Aussie .38 special and more. Franchesca is destined to be a fantastic production female just like her dam.
Franchesca is tall and well-grown for her age. She maintains straight legs, proper bite, a correct topline, and appropriate proportions. She has a beautiful wedge-shaped head with good coverage from top to toenails. Her demeanor is very sweet. Her fleece is the most beautiful light metallic silver. She has very few minimal black spots near her extremities. The fleece shows great organization and consistent high frequency crimp through her blanket area that extends far into her hip and shoulder areas. The individual fibers are very fine with a very similar micron between the black and white secondary fibers. Her regrowth is showing good staple length and superior brightness. Most notably, Franchesca has an extremely soft handling fleece reminiscent of silk.
Franchesca is a rare opportunity to purchase a grey Sakima daughter. His genetics are limited as he is closed to outside breedings. Finish up her show career and bring her back to us for her maiden breeding. You can choose from any of our solely owned herdsires including SA Diamante’s Black Rock or 8x Champion Irish Meadow’s Peruvian Showtime.
