We are now closing Legionnaire to outside breedings. With hi weight fluctuation and age we think it best to keep him in house. He has many sons working for us! To say we were excited to partner with Amber Autumn Alpacas with CCNF Legionnaire at the 2014 Breeders Edge Auction would be an understatement, a huge one. In a long run, Legionnaire went on to be the highest selling alpaca at the auction (we bought him for $57,500), figures considering this guys genetics. This spectacular young male was the 2015 Futurity Fawn Male Color Champion & 2015 AOA National Fawn Male Reserve Champion!! Two of the most prestigious shows in the alpaca industry and he took home purple. Ending his show career with four Judges' Choice awards and nine Championship awards. By one of the world’s great sires, out of a female from a sensational family line who has made a huge impact on the United States industry, here we have a male bred on a cross that has been proven to produce champions. CCNF Legionnaire, a son of Snowmass Matirx Majesty, has enjoyed extraordinary success as a sire with championship winners in both the United States and Canada and his offspring being found in Poland, United States, Canada, and Australia. Overall, his offspring have won many championships and even Judges’ Choice and National Championship titles. Even more impressive, his son Red Granites Pallaton (Now resides in Poland) won the 2018 Canadian Supreme Champion Male award, Palltons offspring have had much success in the Canadian show rings themselves. Another son by Legionnaire, Red Granites Man of Mystery (Owned by Willow Wind Farm Alpacas) is the densest alpaca yet biopsied by Ian Watt in the USA, and we have not yet heard of a denser alpaca out there a at a whopping 127.2 follicles/square mm density. His daughter, Red Granites Pixie was sold at the 2018 Amber Autumn Auction for a pretty penny, where she was purchased by EP Cambridge Alpaca Stud in Australia. Combining Cas-Cad-Nac's powerhouse production female; CCNF Magdalena and Snowmass Matrix Majesty you would only hope for an advanced fleece, Legionnaire carries a extremely advanced fleece. He carried a six year old fleece with a AFD of 17.3 and SD of 2.5, SIMPLY UNREAL numbers for a six year old BREEDING male. Legionnaire's breedings are limited, please contact us for more information.

Description

AMBER AUTUMN HOT CHOCOLATE What a handsome package! This erect, solid frame, large bone male has a beautiful phenotype with fantastic coverage! Then opening up an extremely fine fleece, consistent with uniformity of microns across the blanket is a true joy! Check out Hot Chocolate's DENSITY! Holy Moly! You would have to see the most elite alpaca to compare. Hot Chocolate has TWO traits ranking in the Top 5% EPDs in 2023 and FIVE Traits in the Top 10% EPDs for 2023! Unfortunately, COVID interfered with Hot Chocolates show career. Both of Hot Chocolate's parents are Champions and he most likely would have been a 4th generation champion. He is the son of 9x Champion, CCNF Legionnaire, a 5-time Judges Choice winner as well as a Futurity Champion and AOA Reserve Champion. Legionnaire's 2018 micron test was AFD: 17.9 SD: 3.4 CV: 21.2 %>30: 0.5 and mean curvature of 58.6. He passes on amazing fleece traits including superior density to all his offspring. Hot Chocolate’s paternal sibling has the highest density from a skin biopsy ever recorded at 127.2 follicles/mm. CCNF Legionnaire is sporting a very Elite and stunning linage. Hot Chocolate's paternal grandparents are Snowmass Matrix Majesty (Snowmass Matrix X Snowmass Simply Scrumptious) and 10X Champion, CCNF Magdalena (Snowmass Legacy Gold X PPeruvian Jesusa.) His dam, Amber Autumn Holly Ho, won multiple Blue-Ribbons in 2014-2015, as well as 1st place and Reserve Champion at the 2014 Best of the US show. Hot Chocolate's maternal grandsire is a numerous Blue-Ribbon winner, Eclipse Alyst (out of Australian import, Jolimont 2 Peruvian Sweet William). Amber Autumn stated: "We purchased Eclipse Alyst because of his color, pedigree, and incredible dense fleece that has luster, handle, staple length, and very nice fineness. Eclipse always shears our heaviest weighted fleece even at 8 years of age and is still holding his fineness nicely." Hot Chocolate’s first offspring have arrived and while there are only a few, they are gorgeous. The four cria born in 2023 are all in the final consideration for our 2024 show-string. We are astounded by their density, glowing brightness, independent bundles and micro-bundling, beautiful crimp and style, uniformity, and extremely fine fiber. In fact, their fleeces each have superior traits in all aspects. This covers beautiful frames with correct conformation, great coverage, and strong bone. Hot Chocolate is also producing offspring usually darker than the dam. The darkest is currently dark brown. We can’t wait to utilize these prepotent genetics next season and see more cria in 2024! Watch for his cria in our show-string and contact us for a breeding to create a stunning cria of your own!
