If we do our job right, every year there always is a core group of crias born into our herd that we know fairly quickly are *very* special. CCNF Dreadnought was part of that special clique within the 2015 birth class here at Cas-Cad-Nac and was one of the first -- but by no means the last -- alpaca born here to show just what a potent cocktail the genetics of CCNF Elixir and Snowmass Matrix Majesty could combine to make. Certain lines just work well together and Elix and Majesty have basically been having an epic genetic bromance ever since. On his sire's side, Dreadnought brings in the genetics of the mighty CCNF Archangel, our our old foundation female 5Peruvian Cangalli (now deceased), and of course the inimitable Snowmass Elite Legend, who once upon a time also laid his head here at CCNF. Dreadnought's dam, CCNF Prima Majesty though obviously a daughter of you-know-who, is maternally out of our now aging SuperNova daughter and former AOBA National Champion, CCNF Bellarina, whose mother in turn was our old rock star dam, PPPeruvian Pachelbel. So on paper and pedigree alone, Dreadnought is really easy to get excited about. Then you look at the package: dense and fine, with a highly organized fleece that just shines. He is in short everything we were looking and hoping for when we bred his parents together. As it turns out, we were even happy that he was born with testicles as well! Fresh off of his final jaunt around an actual show ring where he was the RC Fawn Male at the 2018 Futurity, Dreadnought is now a proven Herdsire. If early returns are any predictor of things to come, we are nothing but bullish about what the future holds for this exciting Herdsire!

Proudly co-owned with Cascade Rose Alpacas! Now with beautiful gray babies on the ground! When we had an opportunity to purchase 1/2 interest in this young male we were thrilled. He has a super fine and consistent fleece. And check out his Pedigree! On his dams side he has Snowmass Incan Silver, one of the best hold out grays Snowmass ever produced. On his sires side he has Kaspa, one of the foundation herdsires gray herdsires in Patagonia's successful gray breeding program. With his warm cinnamon rose and cool gray coloring, he truly is fire and ice! Phenotypically, he has everything we look for: a solid frame, beautiful head and is correct in his legs proportions and bite. Firestone had quite a successful run in the show ring and is now producing cria following in his footsteps. NOW CHAMPION OFFSPRING ON THE GROUND! . His fleece is incredibly soft and has been made into a soft, beautiful, uniquely colored yarn! We have several bred to firestone for 2022 and are narrowing down our number of owned studs. For this reason we are offering our interest in Firestone for sale. We believe our success is in the success of our clients!!!
