Sire: CCNF Elixir ARI#
32314304 Beige Meet the 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, perhaps only by his younger maternal brother, CCNF Centurion.
In Denver last summer, 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.
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). In fact, throughout the 2014 & 2015 birthing season, he threw 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 2016 show pens.
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.

Description
We are thrilled to be offering this daughter of the 2017 Herdsire of the Year, CCNF Elixir, at the upcoming 2018 Futurity sale! Sweet Confection is out of Sugar Snow, our 6Peruvian Monarch daughter and matriarch of what is simply known as the “sugar line” in our white breeding program, with her most famous relative being our Champion Herdsire, CCNF Sucrose. Straight out of our 2017 show string where she won 3 blue ribbons to go along with 2 Best Bred & Owned banners, along the way helping Elixir win his two Futurity HotY awards (both Light Offspring and Large Farm Division), we offer Sweet Confection with a breeding to any CCNF Herdsire. Perhaps our Futurity Champion and Archangel son, TKO’s King of the Ladies, or her new owners could opt instead to line breed Confection with her paternal brother, white 2017 Futurity Champion, CCNF Bataclan? Either way, she is of course offered with a full reproductive guarantee.
