Sire: CCNF Bataclan ARI#
35370475 White If breeders do their job right, eventually there is always a next-generation advancement that will bring something new to the table. CCNF Bataclan represents the amalgam of some of the most exciting and prepotent lines that we have ever worked with here, going back over 18 years in some cases.
Bataclan's sire, 2017 Futurity Herdsire of the Year CCNF Elixir, really needs very little introduction at this point. Though Elixir has given us several excellent sons, when Bataclan first started working, he represented Elixir's first white son that had the mojo to regularly steal females off of his sire's breeding list. Consider what Elixir has meant to us over the past few years and then let the statement above sink in. Yes, Bataclan is that special.
Maternally, Bataclan combines the genetics of Snowmass Sub-Zero (a Champion 6P Monarch son) and our Futurity Champion, MFI Peruvian Precocious, who is of course himself a son of the mighty Jeremiah. Just on paper alone, the pedigree is fairly drool-inducing but the specimen in person also happens to walk the walk as well. With a more compact size and build, that most closely resembles that of his Champion dam, CCNF Daliance (Snowmass Sub-Zero x CCNF Flirtatious), and a fleece that is both dense, bright, and very well organized, Bataclan is absolutely poised to be the next big thing here at his birth farm.
Update - Spring of 2022: After 2+ pandemic-laden years where his offspring primarily competed only via the AOA National Fleece Show (albeit winning several banners, including the Female Judges' Choice in 2020 for his daughter, CCNF Electra) the Bataclan kids stormed into their first-ever Futurity winning the Light Get of Sire Class, 6 individual blue ribbons, 1 Reserve Championship (White Huacaya Male), 2 Championships (Light Huacaya Male & White Huacaya Female), and the Judges' Choice Female Huacaya! All of which led Bataclan to ultimately lay claim to the prestigious 2022 Light Herdsire of the Year, an honor his sire, Elixir, had previously claimed on three prior occasions.
Dam: CCNF Lyanna ARI#
35476603 Dark Fawn Futurity Champion daughter of CCNF Dorianna and Snowmass Matrix Majesty.
Description
We entered 2024 fully expecting to absorb this iconic young female back into our breeding program when she came of age. However circumstances changed when we had a problem with the colored female we had originally consigned as our Lot #10 at the upcoming POC, and so we made the difficult choice to slot Alarra into the auction in her place. Not that we are without an insurance plan: both Alarra's dam, Lyanna, and her full older sister, Rhaeynera, remain with us.
In any case, Alarra's genetic story on her maternal side goes back all the way to the early 2000s and CCNF herd matriarch, PPeruvian Jesusa, and her famous daughter, CCNF Magdalena, Alarra's maternal Great-Granddam. Alarra's sire is none other than 2022 Futurity Herdsire of the Year, CCNF Bataclan, who had started by the time of that accolade to steadily steal females from the clutches of his famous and highly decorated sire, CCNF Elixir.
Alarra will be offered for sale at the Parade of Champions with a full reproductive guarantee and future breeding to any CCNF Herdsire. Were we making the decision, I might bide my time and see what we here at CCNF decide to do with her full older sister for a breeding match, whom I think we are likely inclined to match up with our rising Herdsire, CCNF Amador. There is time. For now, this lovely female has at least a potential fall and spring show career ahead of her, if that is something her new owners wish to do!
