Sire: CCNF Archangel ARI#
845823 White Multi Champion and sire of Champions...
Dam: PPeruvian Jesusa ARI#
123094 White Originally imported by Don and Julie Skinner of Snowmass Alpacas she is present in many of the most important lineages in the world famous breeding program, not the least of which is that of Snowmass Quechua and his descendants. Jesusa joined us here at CCNF in 2003 with a male cria at side we named Golden Sovereign. Sovereign's sister, Magdalena, would be born a year later and combined those two siblings have been a big part of our success in the show ring in the years since. Jesusa herself passed away in January 2010.
Service Sire: Snowmass Matrix Majesty ARI#
31139731 Light Brown Due Date: 8/11/2014 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.
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. We had Majesty's first crop of crias born here in 2012 and if you have any doubt as to his quality or more importantly his ability to replicate that in his progeny, you need only visit CCNF's pens throughout the spring 2013 show season.
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 primarily used within our own herd where we play him off of the Ring of Fire line, we have also now opened Majesty up for limited outside stud service in 2013. Please email or call with any inquiries.
Description
Chalice is that rarest of the rare: a daughter of the legendary imported Peruvian female, PPeruvian Jesusa! Her sire is some slouch named Archangel, but more on him in a minute. Jesusa's genetics can be found in some of the most prepotent alpacas in the world. From here alone there are most notably Golden Sovereign and his full sister, Magdalena, who between them have produced more Champions for CCNF than any other sibling pair in our program's history. At Snowmass Alpacas, where they originally imported Jesusa, she can be found in many of their most important lines but most notably in that of Snowmass Quechua and all that he has meant to the North American herd.
All of which brings us to the question of Chalice's breeding for her 2013 cria. We elected to breed her in 2010, albeit very distantly, with Snowmass Elite Legend. Anyone that has touched that spectacular male or seen his offspring understands the potential of that cross. To combine Elite Legend's outrageous density, stapling, and uniformity with the fineness (18.9 AFD at 7 years of age), uniformity, and phenotype of Archangel is or as the case is now, was, an invitation for lightning to strike and strike it did. The resulting little female cria, named CCNF Jesusa after her grandmother, was everything we had hoped for. As a debutante member of our spring show string MJ (mini Jesusa) won blue ribbons at the NAAS and Futurity as well as the AOBA National Fleece Show! Not too shabby. She is also among the core group of Elite Legend daughters that we are absorbing into our foundation herd in hopes of furthering our program's breeding goals long term/
Chalice gave birth in late August to a gorgeous white male sired by Snowmass Elite Legend, meaning that this latest cria is CCNF Jesusa's full sibling. For the time being, Chalice will sell with her new EL boy at her side. She has now been bred back and is conformed pregnant to our 2013 Futurity Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass Matrix Majesty, who sired her blue ribbon winning 2012 daughter, CCNF Mariella!
