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 Margaux ARI#
32511208 Medium Brown A mainstay in our production herd, Margaux is an award-winning daughter of CCNF Marguerite and Snowmass Matrix Majesty.
Description
Shocker: another award-winning member of one of the most potent maternal lines in our breeding program’s history. Juneaux also represents perhaps the finest colored Elixir daughter we have offered in some time. Juneaux’s dam is of course no slouch either: our beloved CCNF Margaux. That means Juneaux’s maternal grandam and family matriarch is our original reproductive metronome (and Futurity Reserve Champion), CCNF Marguerite. With a pedigree encompassing some of the best genetics from all sides of our program (Archangel, Elite Legend, Royal Ring of Fire, 5Peruvian Margarita, 5Peruvian Cangalli), Juneaux didn’t exactly come into being by chance and it is only the presence of a sizable contingent of her dam’s genetics elsewhere in our herd allow us to part with this superlative female.
Need further proof of her quality? Juneaux’s first cria, CCNF Jocelyn, was a member of our spring 2023 show team where she won the RC Fawn Female at the PAOBA Show, before then proudly representing us at the Parade of Champions sale. Since that time Juneaux has given birth to Jocelyn’s baby sister, Janelle, who was again part of our show team.
Juneaux is currently open but is offered for sale with a breeding to any Herdsire we own, including those that are otherwise closed!
