Snowmass Matrix Majesty was the Reserve Dark Herdsire of the Year award at the 2011 Futurity as well as the Fawn Champion at the 2010 Futurity and with good reason too. Since that time he has had several crops of crias born here at Cas-Cad-Nac and to say that he has been impactful in our breeding program, would be a gross understatement. In addition to multiple Championships and Judges' Choice awards (at both the 2014 AOA National Show and 2014 Futurity) his offspring have also combined to win multiple Get-of-sire classes for their all-world sire. Majesty was also the winner of the Futurity Herdsire of the Year awards again in both 2013 and 2014. Matrix Majesty is the genetic amalgam of some of the greatest names to ever grace the North American alpaca herd. Herdsires such as Chaccu, Legacy, Hemingway, Quechua, Matrix, Elite, Augusto, Accoyocusani, and Bueno are all present. Also present in his pedigree are the famous rock star dams PPP Prestige, 4P Isabella, PP Jesusa, and Snowmass Maree Love, the first three of whom we also had the great privilege of having here in our foundation herd late in their lives. Needless to say, the genetics in this guy are stacked and it shows. Snowmass Matrix Majesty displays the amazing fleece characteristics that the Quechua line has become known for: the combination of elite fineness and uniformity throughout while sacrificing nothing in density. Now fully owned by CCNF and used almost exclusively within our own herd where we play him off of the CCNF Elixir and CCNF Royal Ring of Fire lines, as of January 2017 Majesty is closed for outside stud service.

Description

CCNF Dominion represents the latest exciting riff on the Elixir/Matrix Majesty crosses that have meant so much to our breeding program in recent years. Experienced alpaca breeders worldwide know the look of a potential ringer when they see one and such was the case with this young male. We had envisioned already soon after his birth that Dominion (why else would we saddle the little dude with a name like that?) would one day rise and join his older cousins CCNF Dreadnought and CCNF Sovereign Legacy, helping to carry forth his pedigree’s powerful legacy. Already a maternal great-grandson of CCNF Magdalena and therefore possessed of arguably the most potent blood in our breeding program’s 23 year history, Dominion also has Snowmass Royal Challanger, *his* sire Snowmass Royal Rose (a founding member of the North American Alpaca Stud), and by extension the legendary Peruvian Hemingway coursing through his veins. None of which is meant to denigrate nor minimize the importance elsewhere in his pedigree of imported alpaca Goddesses 4Peruvian Isabella and 5Peruvian Cangalli, both of whom would remain top-flight foundation females were they still with us. The bottom line though is that Dominion’s pedigree reads a bit like a murderer’s row of alpaca genetics. When those genetics then all amalgamated into the ripping young male we now see rapidly developing before us, we were understandably excited. With a genetic profile most similar to his older cousin, CCNF Sovereign Legacy (the great-grandson of Golden Sovereign, Magdalena’s full brother), it stands to reason that the two of them will ultimately compete for the same pool of females within our program. Though as we’ve said before elsewhere, having too many great Herdsires is like a baseball team having too much pitching depth, there is really no such thing. We are also thrilled to announce that as of December, 2019 that we now co own CCNF Dominion with Chris and Lori Works of Kendall Creek Farms Alpacas! We know from repeated first hand experience, what a positive impact a Herdsire of Dominion’s profile can have when plugged into an already established breeding program such as Kendall Creek’s and we look forward to seeing those results in the years to come! Once working, Dominion will generally be spending the majority of the spring and fall at Kendall Creek, with the summer months spent here at his birth farm. Update: CCNF Dominion achieved his first confirmed pregnancy in Ocober 2020 at Kendall Creek! We look forward to both including him in our breeding plans in 2021 and offering his stud services to outside females! Please contact us here at CCNF or Kendall Creek Farms for further information on breeding with this incredible young Herdsire!
