Just as Jennifer & Ian Lutz took the selection of Man in Black to represent them at the National Elite Auction seriously; Ernie & Barbara made the decision this male was the quality and caliber required to represent their breeding program. This is one special boy! Like many of his paternal siblings Man in Black is unmistakably a son of Champion Fawn Herdsire, CCNF Royal Ring of Fire. With the possible exceptions of Legacy Gold and Archangel no other male in Cas-Cad-Nac has been capable of stamping both their phenotype and fleece characteristics into their offspring with such amazing consistency as Ring of Fire. What is not widely known however is that though Man In Black and his sire before him owe much to the genetic power of Snowmass Royal Rose (MiB's paternal grandsire) and Peruvian Hemingway (MiB's paternal great grandsire)they owe at least an equal debt to Ring of Fire's dynamic dam, 5Peruvian Margarita. It is from his paternal granddam that Man In Black so clearly inherited the head, heavy bone, and unmistakable presence. And that is still only part of the equation! Then there is the matter of the silky black fleece that he inherited from his dam, Victoria. The same fleece qualities that made Victoria a multiple Champion have been passed on to Man In Black as well as his full sibling, Concordia currently on CCNF's show string. Man in Black’s crias starting arriving in August 2010 and like their sire have a beautiful head, heavy bone, with silky fleece. Of the 15 cria born to-date, out of fawn to black dams, all have been black except for one brown. If you are looking for potent, proven genetics in a highly decorated dark colored Herdsire then Man in Black is for you! NEWS UPDATE: Man In Black won the 2011 MAPACA Junior Herdsire of the Year!

Breeding for color? This female has the basics of what it takes to create the best dark crias and is how many breeders are getting stunning colors. She has produced two of Glenstone’s incredible true black herdsires, Glenstone’s Ignite and Immendorff. Illumination’s dam is Peruvian Itabuna, who was chosen in the first round of the 1996 Peruvian import. Her sire is Peruvian Dakotia, a champion in his own right and was the producer of MFI Jericho, the sire of Majestic Peruvian Jeremiah, who won Herdsire of the Year 3 years in a row. Illumination's maternal brother is Obsydian, another outstanding Magical Farms herdsire. Don't miss out on genetics like these! Illumination has thrown the sire's color every time! She was bred to My Peruvian Black Knight twice and the result was two true black males. When bred to Glenstone's Aquavella, a light fawn male with a white neck and head, her cria was light fawn with a white neck and head! Her black crias, Ignite and Immendorff, have sired crias of their own! Ignite has a true black son and Immendorff has two sons, a dark rose grey and a medium silver grey. He has more on the way! Illumination has endless possibilities. Every cria she has had has been the same color as the sire. So, who to breed her to? We are breeding her to CCNF Man In Black, a 4x champion, true black male owned by Double "O" Good. Imagine that cria! No need to imagine any longer! Illumination and Man in Black's male cria was born on August 25, 2011 (the day between the earthquake and hurricane Irene!), a perfect replica of his sire. Loaded with fleece, blocky head, strong bone, and full of vigor, this baby is exceptional! We are naming him Ghost Rider. Look for him in 2012 in the show ring. He is listed separately now as Ghost Rider. 1/2 Interest in this cria has been purchased by Papas Alpaca Farm! Congrats and welcome to the family! Lumi is exposed to Crescent Moon's Ante Up for a March 2013 cria. We are hoping for a modern gray!
