Sire: CCNF Elixir ARI#
32314304 Beige 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 got from his sire are virtually unmatched here at Cas-Cad-Nac Farm.
The 2015 AOA National Fleece Show essentially turned into Elixir's official coming out party as a proven Herdsire. He not only won the Champion Light Male and Judges' Choice Huacaya Male himself but more importantly, four of his offspring (CCNF Spittfire, CCNF Dropshot, CCNF Antares, and CCNF True Adoration) won Championship banners as well, leading to a championship sweep of both the Light and White Male color groups. Not too shabby for his first batch of kids. Since that time of course, the Elixir kids have been front and center in our show strings producing among other accolades, back to back Futurity Herdsire of the Year awards in both 2017 and 2018.
Of course one of the things we love about our boy, is that he can be bred to both light and dark females with equally exciting outcomes (Elixir is a classic dorsal beige). He continues to throw everything from whites to browns, all extremely bright and fine. If you have any doubts as to the prowess of this world-class Herdsire, you need only spend 10 minutes or so walking down the line of our show pens any spring or fall. The proof is most definitely in the progeny...
Elixir stands at stud here at CCNF from July 1st through October 1st before moving back to our partners' farm in Maryland for the fall season. As of July 1st, 2016 CCNF Elixir was closed for all future outside stud service. You can both look for his offspring in our sales listings though as well as a select number of females who are offered for sale already bred to him.
Dam: CCNF Eternal Rose ARI#
32655612 Light Brown Daughter of Futurity Champions Snowmass Matrix Majesty and CCNF Johanna, she was the Best B&O Female at the 2014 Futurity in her own right.
Description
Rise Up is an enticing Elixir/Matrix Majesty cross out of the ever-potent Magdalena line by way of his dam, CCNF Eternal Rose, and his maternal grand dam (and Magdalena’s first daughter), our beloved Jeremiah daughter and Futurity Champion, CCNF Johanna.
Already built like a tank, as we have seen elsewhere when these lines have been crossed with each other – CCNF Legionnaire and CCNF Delilah being the best examples – the resulting fleece on Rise Up is not only extremely dense but gives up very little on handle or brightness. CCNF Rise Up is now co owned with our friend Bari Padgett at Paragon Alpacas and is spending most of his time in Maryland at A Paca Fun Farm where he and his markings are being put to use in Bari's grey breeding program! Please inquire with either farm of you are interested in a breeding to this exciting young Herdsire!
