Snowmass Conopa's Kahuna was one of two incredible Herdsires we were able to acquire a half interest in from our friends at Tripping Gnome Farm late in 2012. Because we have shared so many genetics with the Snowmass herd over the years, he is at least distantly related to many of the females in our breeding program. No matter though. There are names in his pedigree that frankly we can never really get enough of. The fact that Kahuna is one powerhouse distillation of them all is really just a bonus as far as we are concerned! Quality begets quality, it's really not rocket science after all. Though we will most likely shy away from crossing Kahuna too much with the Matrix Majesty daughters (Majesty's mom and Kahuna's paternal granddam are one and the same), that still leaves a load of Cameron and Ring of Fire kids and their descendants for him to pivot off of to say nothing of the amazing crop of Elixir girls when they come of age. We now have our first significant birth class of Kahuna's crias on the ground here at CCNF, all born in 2014, and have little doubt as to the prepotency of this spectacular Herdsire. CCNF is proud to co own Kahuna with Stillmeadow Farm of Stonington, CT.

Champion Dam out of Snowmass Matrix Majesty!!!!

Well, after a few misses, we were able to get arguably our top black female bred to Snowmass Midnight Diamonte', and boy was it worth the wait!! The result is our KCF Phenom Noir, a true black macho male that we feel has a tremendous head start toward a fabulous career at KCF. Not since Diamonte' himself have we seen the combination of fleece structure and handle on a true black fleece. It simply feels like a plush berber carpet of alpaca. And at his first trip away from the ranch in Ohio, the judges apparently agreed, Phenom won both his yearling male classes as the youngest in both, and with a large number of entries in each. Then it was on to Virginia for their dual show and the results were similar - but even better; a first and second with both being followed by Reserve Championships!! Now we're talking! Bummer Update: Phenom has come up with a tender break in his fleece for the spring show season. Even with this minor setback, he was able to stay in the top half of all his classes so far. We are pulling him for the remainder of the 21' Spring season, but you can bet your ass he will make a triumphant return!! 2022 Update: Heeeee's back. So far, three banners in four shows in the spring of 2022. Phenom is off to a great start and, we are happy to say that he has a new co-owner. Thank you to Phil and Vickie of Outstanding Dreams Alpacas in Maryland for your acquisition of 1/2 interest in this macho black! This boy is going to do great things for both farms!! Introductory breeding now available and on a limited basis!!
