Whoa, do the genetic math on this female as those waters run super-deep, going all the way back up to her great-great-maternal grand dam, PPeruvian Jesusa. Of course the more crib-notey version is that Sunstarlight is a member of what has to be considered the top pound-for-pound producing maternal line in our entire breeding program’s history. Her maternal sister, CCNF Oriflamme (sired by Elixir), finished a spring show season last year that ended with yet another Futurity banner after already being awarded the Light Championship and Judges’ Choice Female at the 2017 edition of that show! In addition to her kid sister, 5 (count 'em!) other members of her maternal family were part of our ...

Meet the reigning crown prince of CCNF. Show record aside, at the time he was born, Elixir was probably the best male alpaca our breeding program had produced in 16 years. Good thing too, as he and his paternal siblings had some mighty big shoes that we were asking them to fill in the years ahead. The son of three time Futurity Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass Elite Legend, and our multi-Champion Archangel daughter, CCNF Ascension, Elixir when conceived as a concept on paper was supposed to be good. We just had no idea that the stars were going to align quite as nicely as they did. The fleece fineness and phenotype of his maternal line combined with the other-worldly density and uniformity he ...

Can one really have too much of a good thing? We suppose it is a philosophical quandary we must all wrestle with at times. In this particular case, we are hedging a bit. The daughter of Truly Scrumptious, a female we had picked up from our friends at Tripping Gnome Farm when they sold their herd, True Dalliance is one of four (!) adult daughters that Mama Scrum – as the grandest of grand dames is known nowadays – has blessed us with. Though we have made the decision to let Mama Scrum retire from the breeding herd, her daughters (and at least a couple of granddaughters so far) are stepping into more than taking the torch. We are offering True Dalliance with her young son at her side, s...

It actually occurred to us multiple times as we were campaigning CCNF Snow King in the spring of 2019 on the halter show circuit, that the very fleece traits that make him so attractive to us as a Herdsire, were the same ones causing him by the month of March to look like a red-hot mess. In short: a dense, fine, long-stapled fleece, which when combined with several days on a trailer and a touch of heating vent at the show facility…and voila! Even after putting him under show fans set to high for three days before going into the ring, the eye didn’t always agree with what the hand was feeling this spring, so huge credit to the judges for understanding what it was that was in front of them. T...

Look at this lovely young lady! The daughter of our beloved Mayfair -- whom we acquired from our friends at Arrow Acres Farm and Emelise Alpacas – and sired by Futurity Champion and Judges’ Choice winner, CCNF Sovereign-Legacy, we are proud to offer here for sale as a representation of the next phase of our breeding program. As a Sov-Leg daughter, she is not only a card-carrying member of the famous PP Jesusa/Golden Sovereign/Magdalena maternal line but also has the uber-potent Elixir/Matrix Majesty genetics of her sire locked in as well. The depth of her family lines elsewhere in our herd and breeding program allows us to offer her for sale and we had bred Mayday to our up-and-comin...

Can we just say up front that has to be one of the worst show photos ever? The young fella is nobody's fool but we love him nonetheless! Privateer was one of the first crias born here ever sired by Spirit Wind’s Maestro, our fawn 2014 Futurity Champion Herdsire and his arrival did nothing to dampen our enthusiasm for his dad. Of course Privateer’s depth of quality comes in equal measure from his dam, CCNF Nutmeg of Consolation, the most decorated alpaca in our program’s history (halter and fleece), she being a daughter of SHRA Virtual’s Reality and the mighty Snowmass Legacy Gold himself, both of them original CCNF foundational animals whose lines still play key roles throughout our herd. ...
