Having admired his offspring for many years now, we were thrilled to acquire half of Sub-Zero from our friends at Tripping Gnome Farm late last year! To us, Sub represents yet another layer of genetic depth that we can now cross in aggressively with the progeny of Archangel, Messiah, SuperNova, Precocious, and Elite Legend. The lingering fineness in a fleece that is both dense, bright, and uniform makes him a very valuable puzzle piece to CCNF in our continuing goal to push the development of North American alpaca fiber to yet another level. If you need further evidence of Sub-Zero's greatness, we invite folks attending the spring shows this coming April to come and see his medium fawn son, TGF Legit, a young junior Herdsire whom we likewise pried from the hands of our friends in Freeport and whom we also have very high hopes for going forward. We are proud to co own Snowmass Sub-Zero with Lynn Edens of Little Creek Farm Alpacas in North Salem, NY! Though no formal schedule has been set, Sub will be spending his time more or less split between the farms of his two owners throughout each breeding season. We are happy to try to accommodate outside breedings, so please inquire with either farm as to his schedule if you are interested in breeding to this incredible Herdsire!

Multiple Champion white daughter of the mighty MFI Peruvian Precocious!

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 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
