Sire: Snowmass Matrix Majesty ARI#
31139731 Light Brown Snowmass Matrix Majesty was the Reserve Dark Herdsire of the Year award at the 2011 Futurity as well as the Fawn Champion at the 2010 Futurity and with good reason too. Since that time he has had several crops of crias born here at Cas-Cad-Nac and to say that he has been impactful in our breeding program, would be a gross understatement. In addition to multiple Championships and Judges' Choice awards (at both the 2014 AOA National Show and 2014 Futurity) his offspring have also combined to win multiple Get-of-sire classes for their all-world sire. Majesty has also the winner of the Futurity Herdsire of the Year awards again in both 2013 and 2014.
Matrix Majesty is the genetic amalgam of some of the greatest names to ever grace the North American alpaca herd. Herdsires such as Chaccu, Legacy, Hemingway, Quechua, Matrix, Elite, Augusto, Accoyocusani, and Bueno are all present. Also present in his pedigree are the famous rock star dams PPP Prestige, 4P Isabella, PP Jesusa, and Snowmass Maree Love, the first three of whom we also had the great privilege of having here in our foundation herd late in their lives. Needless to say, the genetics in this guy are stacked and it shows.
Snowmass Matrix Majesty displays the amazing fleece characteristics that the Quechua line has become known for: the combination of elite fineness and uniformity throughout while sacrificing nothing in density. Now fully owned by CCNF and used almost exclusively within our own herd where we play him off of the CCNF Elixir and CCNF Royal Ring of Fire lines, as of January 2017 Majesty is closed for outside stud service.
Dam: CCNF Charming ARI#
31700634 Medium Brown Multi Champion daughter of CCNF Royal Ring of Fire and our black Futurity Champion dam, CCNF Opal.
Description
It was a great privilege at the 2016 Parade of Champions sale to offer our young Champion male, CCNF Leviathan, one of the first Elixir/Matrix Majesty crosses to have ever come out of our breeding program. Already the owner of multiple banners when he got up on stage at the POC, Leviathan kept winning Championships for his new owners – our friends at Stillmeadow Farm – last fall as well. Now we are pleased to introduce Leviathan’s maternal aunt! A regular member of our 2016/2017 show strings, CCNF Charmaine builds on last year’s narrative, as she is the full sister of CCNF Capuchin, Leviathan’s dam! Though lighter in color (beige vs, DB), than her older sibling, the goods are all there. With dense, bright, and uniform fleece on a beautifully conformed frame, we have little doubt that she will make an excellent foundation female. On the off-chance that no one understands what is being offered here, we will of course gladly bring her back to VT and use her in our breeding program. Either way, we will begin breeding this young female with Elixir as soon as he arrives home for the season around July 1st.
Update: Charmaine won 2 more blue ribbons in April 2017 as a member of our show string! Meanwhile Charmaine's nephew, CCNF Leviathan (whose dam is Charmaine's full sibling) also won two more Color Championships as well, including Champion Brown Male at the 2017 Futurity, where his sire (and Charmaine's future Service Sire), CCNF Elixir, was also the winner of the Light Get of Sire class at North America's toughest alpaca show! There just *might* be something to the package we are offering here...
