Snowmass Conopa's Kahuna 

| AOA# 31795531  | Dark Fawn  |

Snowmass Conopa's Kahuna was one of two incredible Herdsires we were able to acquire a half interest in from our friends at Tripping Gnome Farm late in 2012.

Because we have shared so many genetics with the Snowmass herd over the years, he is at least distantly related to many of the females in our breeding program. No matter though. There are names in his pedigree that frankly we can never really get enough of. The fact that Kahuna is one powerhouse distillation of them all is really just a bonus as far as we are concerned! Quality begets quality, it's really not rocket science after all.

Though we will most likely shy away from crossing Kahuna too much with the Matrix Majesty daughters (Majesty's mom and Kahuna's paternal granddam are one and the same), that still leaves a load of Cameron and Ring of Fire kids and their descendants for him to pivot off of to say nothing of the amazing crop of Elixir girls when they come of age. We now have our first significant birth class of Kahuna's crias on the ground here at CCNF, all born in 2014, and have little doubt as to the prepotency of this spectacular Herdsire.

CCNF is proud to co own Kahuna with Stillmeadow Farm of Stonington, CT.

Quarry Ridge Marimba

Huacaya, Female, Proven, Dark Brown, Full Peruvian

ARI# 30881044 | DOB: 8/31/2007

Marimba has an outstanding pedigree. Her dam is a daughter of MFI Peruvian Jericho and granddaughter of 5 Peruvian Camelot and her sire is My Peruvian Obsydian. All you need to do is look at her to realize that she has garnered the best from these awesome bloodlines. Marimba’s buttery soft maroon-colored fleece is very fine and equally dense with high frequency crimp all the way out the long stapled locks. She has won many blue ribbons, and a Color Championship.

Description

Another stunning QR Marimba son, half brother to multi-champion Spartan's Silver Lining and son of National Champion Snowmass Conopa's Kahuna. Kestrel has won 11 banners and 26 blue ribbons in both Halter and Fleece.

Kestrel boasts flawless conformation, solid bone, a classic head and fiber that is absolutely stunning. Dense, long-stapled, with zipper crimp out to the tips and extraordinary brightness, Kestrel's fleece is outstanding even now as a 4 year old breeding male.

His offspring are carbon copies and we expect them to follow his lead in the show ring. Kestrel will bring outstanding genotype and phenotype to your breeding program.

Proudly co-owned with our friends at Faraway Farm Alpacas.
