Sire: CCNF Archangel ARI#
845823 White The Arch abides. What can we say about the apple of our eye? We love Archangel so much that his likeness is mounted atop our house in the form of a weathervane! Breeders always talk of finding the alpaca that is the complete package and Archangel is the closest thing to that that we have ever had the privilege of laying our eyes on. His fiber is the equal of any white alpaca we have come across in 20 years of breeding alpacas, yet it grows on a frame that is nearly perfect in form and function. The comments from the judges throughout the spring 2004 show seasons when comparing Archangel to his competition were always to the effect of "this animal was not tip shorn as a cria, and is therefore starting to mat at the tips, yet the fleece is gorgeous once you open it." In fact Archangel was shorn to the skin at 30 days of age (removing 1.5" to 2" at the time), yet is so fine and grows such a staple length that even with that shearing he still had on average anywhere from 2" to 3" inches more staple length than the vast majority of the animals he was in the ring with. Show record aside he was and remains to this day, in 2017, the real deal.
We take great pride in the fact that our breeding program produced such an amazing Herdsire and the offspring that have resulted in the ensuing years have proven without any doubt that Archangel was and is no genetic fluke. His sons King of the Ladies (the 2010 White Futurity Champion) and Avenger along with a myriad of elite daughters here in the CCNF foundation herd are a continuing testimonial to the potency of his genetics. It is not by chance that some of the most important crias born here over the past several years were his grandchildren or even now great-grandchildren. Archangel is proudly co-owned with Stillmeadow Farm.

Description
TGF Freedom's Fury has an undeniable presence. Fury is a true head-turner, full fleeced from head to toe with a solid, square frame. This boy is definitely not all about looks, though, seeing as his fiber has set him apart on its own. With 10+ blue ribbons in his show career, along with multi championships and a judge's choice at the 2014 Southern Select the quality of his fiber has been proven. His fiber shows consistency in color, extreme fineness and architecture with a high degree of density throughout. And now with his first cria hitting the ground, he is proving himself to be a herdsire who produces top quality offspring. Fury truly represents the complete package. We proudly co own this boy with Bay Shore Alpacas and 7 Springs Alpaca Farm.
