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 was 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 Pristine ARI# 30987852 White
Description
Priam is one of several offspring here born to CCNF Pristine, the top white Archangel daughter in our breeding program. It was not by chance that at the 2019 Futurity Show Priam and his kid brother, Perceus (Pristine's latest), were the White Champion and Reserve Champion respectively. It is a line we value highly, with multiple maternal female siblings and nieces and grand nieces already working alongside their matriarch in our herd. Priam's older full brother, CCNF Primus, is actually headed to Germany!
Though Priam was a bit too young to work last summer, we are confident that he will begin to actively breed this coming breeding season of 2019. Combining the lasting fineness of his maternal grandsire Archangel -- and let's also give some much earned respect to his maternal graddam, PPPeruvian Prestige -- with the uniformity and density of the Quechua/Matrix Majesty lines, he will have a limited but important role to play within our program. Priam will also be available for limited outside stud service.
