Patagonia Celtic Rising Sun (ET) co-owned with Canchones

Rising Sun has continued his superior show winning performance on his third fleece. He has now won four national 1st placings in the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 AAA National Shows as well as winning Adult Champion Male at the 2008 Melbourne Royal show, Senior Champion male at the 2009 Sydney Royal Show, Reserve Senior Champion Male at the 2009 Melbourne Royal Show and Senior Champion Male at the 2010 AlpacaFest Show at Werribee. Rising Sun is an ultra-fine male. This is a significant genetic achievement as our property has improved pastures and all our animals are well grown out for age.
