2009 NEAA High Selling MaleLOT #31 - CCNF TalonBuyer: Chas Brooke and Rachel Hebditch Sale Price: $50,000.00 We spent the better part of 4 months back in 2005 convincing, pleading, and cajoling Lynn Costner of Sunny Mesa Alpacas to part with her beloved Champion female, Tessora. Needless to say the past couple of years have proven why we were so persistent! Quality begets quality, go figure. For when we bred Tess with our fully restricted Champion Herdsire, SuperNova, she produced the cria we had been hoping and dreaming of: CCNF Talon. It is not often that a young male is born into our herd that we feel is a potential legitimate replacement for their respective sire. That is a very high standard to meet when your father has shown the prepotency of SuperNova. Yet seeing the way both SuperNova and Tessora have aged (and more to the point, they really haven't) it is undeniable that in choosing to let young Talon leave our control we may well be passing on the best SuperNova son yet. For that reason we are hedging our bets and are retaining five future breedings to him. We are also expecting the birth of his full sibling this year, not that his half-sister Saphira (a 2009 show stringer and blue ribbon winner) is exactly a slouch either! Talon displays the fine, bright, dense, and highly organized fleece that we have come to expect from the SuperNova line (with a strong assist from Tessora too) all on the upright frame of his dam. Combine that with a calm but undeniable presence and you truly have the complete package. Want to talk pedigree? He's got that too: Hemingway, Leon, Royal Fawn, Grandmaster, Augusto, and Starr Khan just to drop a few of the names that run in his blood. Bring him home, breed him, and reap the benefits of this powerhouse! |

2009 NEAA High Selling FemaleLOT #14 - CCNF Femme FataleBuyer: Sharon Brown & James Webb Sale Price: $33,000.00 We are proud to offer this tremendous Snowmass Messiah daughter straight out of our 2008 show string! Her story though runs much deeper at Cas-Cad-Nac than that might initially suggest. Femme's maternal granddam, CCNF Phoenix, was also the first born cria of our foundation goddess, 5P Margarita, who is known more famously for her final cria before she left us: CCNF Royal Ring of Fire. Needless to say this wonderful female has got some golden DNA running through those veins. Already carrying the powerful blood of 4P Legacy via her dam, Fawksey Lady (do the geeky word math Harry Potter fans), we have elected to offer this show Champion female bred to our award winning Herdsire, Snowmass Accoyocusani, who combines the genetics of Accoyo Augusto with that of another of our dearly departed foundation females, 4Peruvian Isabella. If you are looking for a decorated Champion female you can build a white herd around, CCNF Femme Fatale is the one for you! |
