Snowmass Elite Legend is everything one could hope for in an elite huacaya Herdsire! A son of the legendary Snowmass Quechua, EL combines those qualities so often found in several alpacas all into one superb package: density, fineness, and uniformity the likes of which are rarely seen together, combined with a high propensity to pass those traits on to his progeny. He breeds as "true" as any Herdsire that we have seen here in 16 years of breeding alpacas and the results are really impossible to dispute. It is no coincidence that his offspring won both the male and female white championships at the 2011 Futurity, nor that one of his sons, CCNF Elixir, was both the Light Champion and as well as the Judges' Choice Huacaya Male at the 2012 Futurity. In fact 2012 marked the third year in a row that Elite Legend was awarded Futurity Light Herdsire of the Year, putting him in some very exclusive company! Elite Legend's offspring at CCNF have been nothing short of phenomenal and we anticipate his sons Elixir, CCNF Defiance, and CCNF Hyperion taking their places in our Herdsire stable. After several years away from CCNF, we now co own EL again, though this time with the Deschner family of Tierra Prometida Alpacas in Texas. He generally spends his summers here in Vermont and then winters down there, not a bad gig really!

“For Heaven’s Sake!” Named after the Greek God, H2R Atlas is a masculine powerhouse, built from a roadmap of carefully chosen strong foundation genetics. In simple terms, he is built like a shit brickhouse. Not only is he impressive to look at, his fleece does not disappoint. He carries brightness and uniformity, that lends itself to a high frequency crimp structure creating solidity of the staples across his entire frame. His sire, Snow Diamond Absinthe, has not disappointed. Absinthe’s production includes the 2023 National Supreme Champion Dark Huacaya Female, H2R Queen’s Jubilee (Lot# 12). Both Atlas and Jubilee share the same maternal grandsire, Snowmass Velvet Touché, who has award-winning production across the globe. Atlas has the attributes to make him a future industry pacesetter. These qualities were noted by judges after taking a 1st place in his halter class at the 2023 AOA National Show, his very first time off the ranch.
