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.

Futurity Champion and Judges' Choice Huacaya Female, a daughter of Snowmass Matrix bred by our friends at Tripping Gnome Farm.
Description
CCNF Reign Maker is one of two full siblings that we feel very fortunate to have here at CCNF. We originally fell in love with his dam, Futurity Judges’ Choice winner, TGF Let Freedom Ring, and his older sister, Let Freedom Reign, when we first saw them at Tripping Gnome Farm. Though we lost his dam in 2018, today his equally world-class sister and her amazing adult daughter, CCNF Majesty United (a multiple Champion and Judges' Choice winner), are both part of our foundation herd alongside Reignmaker.
This superb son (paternally now) of 2-time Futurity Champion, Snowmass Conopa’s Kahuna, has shown from the time that he was born that he had the qualities to be a top-flight Herdsire. Where the show ring was concerned he *always* had the goods, but he quite frankly needed the competition’s fleece around him to coarsen up some so that the judges could fully grasp what it was they were seeing in him. Allow us to reveal a dirty little secret throughout alpacadom: most alpacas start out fine but they don’t all stay that way, at least not relatively speaking.
The genetics in this Herdsire’s pedigree read like a virtual who’s-who of the North American alpaca herd. From 6P Accoyo Elite to the mighty Hemingway, with a dash of 4P Legacy, 5P Chaccu, Snowmass Royal Rose and PPeruvian Jesusa (both of whom we were privileged to have had here at CCNF), and the mighty Snowmass Quechua just to name a few. Look it up, seriously. It’s all come together to make one spectacular young male!
Used primarily to cross with the Matrix Majesty and Elixir lines, Reignmaker had his first offspring born here into the CCNF herd in 2020, and the early returns are *very* impressive. Reignmaker is also available for outside stud service on a limited basis.
