STF Skywalker comes to us in partnership by way of our dear friends at Sugartown Farms in Ellicottville, NY. Thank you Timm and Helen for letting us in on the wonderful male. This boy is producing exactly what we had hoped for, and in a wonderful variety of colors, including gray!! STF SKYWALKER is a phenomenal male from a 10X COLOR CHAMPION Snowmass XXXtreme Daughter - STF Sassafras. SKYWALKER'S DAM - STF Sassafras represents all that is Elite in the Color Alpaca World. Her Sire - Snowmass XXXtreme is one of the most PREPOTENT colored studs to grace the Alpaca breeding world. XXXtreme's progeny are nothing short of spectacular. Sassafras has won 10 CHAMPIONSHIP Banners. Sassafras won the COLOR CHAMPIONSHIP at the Northeastern 2011. Judge Jude Anderson said: "I have a Juvenile female here in this championship position I would recommend you take a look at. Her fleece is very bright when you open it up, with excellent density and, uniformity in to the belly - not just of the style, but of the fineness across the blanket. She is a lovely package – excellent density.” Sassafras then won the Reserve CHAMPIONSHIP at PAOBA. Judge Ken Hibbits said: "She is really, really impressive - a fleece that opens up and pops when you break it open. She has great uniformity and great character, she is very correct. One thing you notice when you open it up it tends to break beautifully within all those staples, showing that fineness, showing that architecture, and that’s what we want. She’s not bad to look at either is she? She is a beautiful girl, perfectly conformed." Sassafras won Reserve CHAMPIONSHIP at Empire. Judge Jill MacLeod said: “What I really like about this girl is that she is very fine, very even, she has great uniformity in all respects – and that did her very well today. Even her primary fibers are very very fine throughout that fleece and I think this is the kind of fleece that will maintain fineness throughout a lifetime.” In awarding her the Championship at MAPACA, Judge Helen Humphries cited Sassafrass as the complete package, noting of her fineness, consistency and buttery soft - dreamy fleece. SKYWALKER'S SIRE - MFI Peruvian Armoire is a Magical Farms progeny: "We have held on to MFI Peruvian Armoire as a future replacement for his incredible sire - Peruvian Jeronimo who produced so many outstanding colorful champions for Magical Farms over the years. Armoire sports an elite fleece...a georgeous fawn fleece that is dense, soft with high frequency, high amplitude crimp and extremely consistent from head to toe.He has a true to alpaca phenotype, flawless conformation and an excellent presence. Armoire has these legends in his pedigree: Accoyo Peruvian Timoteo, Peruvian Amadeus, Peruvian Jeronimo, and Peruvian Guellermo." SKYWALKER has an Insanely Bright, Fine, Dense and Organized Fleece with a high frequency crimp. His fleece is extremely consistent throughout and he is showing a great propensity at passing this along!

An acquisition as a result of the MFI retirement, Bold Weapon was acquired to boost our 'dark side' program. She had produced several cria for magical that we really liked and were looking forward to getting her into our program. Her results have been absolutely spot on for us. And she is still a Top 10% EPD girl in 2021!! Her first is the remarkable Bombshell out of our Jeremiah's Indescribable. She has been a consistent winner on our show-string since she came of age, and although Bombshell was sold to Sawdust Alpacas in Nevada at the 2018 Snow Diamond Auction, we were VERY high on her. Sell the best they say.... Then a black male color champion, then a beige multiple blue ribbon winning boy, then a crazy nice brown girl that we have not been able to show due to Corona, and now another stunning brown girl out of 17X Champion KCF Isidoro....BOOM!! The hits just keep coming with this girl; she is making us look really smart :-) And for her next act, Bold Weapon was bred to CCNF Dominion, whom we co-own with CCNF. Unfortunately, this was the only breeding that took for Dominion during his practice runs of 2020, but boy are we glad this one stuck. The result is a deep brown boy much in the likeness of Dominion, and that is a very good thing. More forthcoming on this one. For Bold's 2022 cria we rotated back to Isidoro, not because we were disappointed with the Dominion cross, but Dom got a lot of girlfriends this past year and it was starting to piss Izzy off some..... He deserves this one again for sure!! The results you ask.... a beige girl that is the bomb! KCF Isidorable we will call her. Wow, dense, crimp all over, and built like a cinderblock. Who's showstring is she going to be on in 2023; yours or ours? Bold Weapon is now bred to our 8 time RC/CC true black Diamonte' son, KCF Phenom Noir for a 2023 cria that will be highly anticipated for sure! Phenom closed out his show career with the double CC at MAPACA halter shows and was able to immediately start his next chapter as a breeding male before the age of 3. We loaded up his dance card here at KCF and we can't wait to see that results!! Bold will come with the current female cria by side and with her ultrasound confirmed pregnancy!! We still have 2 of her daughters at KCF and all three are for sale. However, after the first 2 sell, we will be retaining the other for our breeding program. Who remains at KCF is the public's choice - that how proud and confident we are in this line. They are all fantastic breeding females!!

From the CCNF website: Though still coming of age, 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. Kendall Creek Farms is honored and delighted to have this absolute stud as part of our program. We are certain that Dominion will take our breeding program to even higher places.... Thank you Ian and Jennifer for offering his co-ownership!!
