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 three national 1st placings in the 2006, 2007 and 2008 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 and Reserve Senior Champion Male at the 2009 Melbourne Royal Show. 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.

Rising Sun has extreme crimp definition (high amplitude crimp which adds length, softness and high brightness to the fleece). Rising Sun is available for a limited number of on-farm matings. He is out of our top donor female Patagonia Sunline and by our seven time supreme champion sire Patagonia Celtic Triumph. See Celtic Rising Sun's Skin Follicle Results. He is the sire of Patagonia Celtic Rising Star, Lot 8 in the forthcoming 2009 AAA National Auction.
