Judge's Choice Winner & Producer!

Snow Diamond Absinthe

Huacaya, Herdsire (Male), Proven | Medium Fawn

AOA# 35361749 D.O.B. 7/20/2017 (8 yrs)

Sire:

CCNF Elixir

| AOA# 32314304 | Beige |

Meet the reigning crown prince of CCNF. Show record aside, at the time he was born, Elixir was probably the best male alpaca our breeding program had produced in 16 years. Good thing too, as he and his paternal siblings had some mighty big shoes that we were asking them to fill in the years ahead. The son of three time Futurity Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass Elite Legend, and our multi-Champion Archangel daughter, CCNF Ascension, Elixir when conceived as a concept on paper was supposed to be good. We just had no idea that the stars were going to align quite as nicely as they did. The fleece fineness and phenotype of his maternal line combined with the other-worldly density and uniformity he got from his sire are virtually unmatched here at Cas-Cad-Nac Farm.

The 2015 AOA National Fleece Show essentially turned into Elixir's official coming out party as a proven Herdsire. He not only won the Champion Light Male and Judges' Choice Huacaya Male himself but more importantly, four of his offspring (CCNF Spittfire, CCNF Dropshot, CCNF Antares, and CCNF True Adoration) won Championship banners as well, leading to a championship sweep of both the Light and White Male color groups. Not too shabby for his first batch of kids. Since that time of course, the Elixir kids have been front and center in our show strings producing among other accolades, back to back Futurity Herdsire of the Year awards in both 2017 and 2018.

Of course one of the things we love about our boy, is that he can be bred to both light and dark females with equally exciting outcomes (Elixir is a classic dorsal beige). He continues to throw everything from whites to browns, all extremely bright and fine. If you have any doubts as to the prowess of this world-class Herdsire, you need only spend 10 minutes or so walking down the line of our show pens any spring or fall. The proof is most definitely in the progeny...

Elixir stands at stud here at CCNF from July 1st through October 1st before moving back to our partners' farm in Maryland for the fall season. As of July 1st, 2016 CCNF Elixir was closed for all future outside stud service. You can both look for his offspring in our sales listings though as well as a select number of females who are offered for sale already bred to him.

Description

2024 Huacaya Herdsire of the Year Medium Farm Division 2
2024 Reserve Huacaya Herdsire of the Year - Light Offspring

This male has an amazing fleece, excellent conformation and beautiful head. He is Snow Diamond Absinthe, son of 7x champion CCNF Elixir who also is 2x judges' choice winner. Absinthe already has won two color championships and a judges' choice award in his first show season. Snowmass Matrix Majesty and CCNF Archangel run in Absinthe's dam's pedigree.

Judges in two fleece shows have recognized Absinthe's "fine fleece with great uniformity" and "his high degree of fineness and uniformity." In a walking fleece competition, he had three perfect scores and one score that was just a point away from perfection. In halter he was named Judge's Choice at the 2019 Illinois Alpaca Show.

Absinthe produces all the colors, including appaloosa and black! His offspring have been bannered at the AOA National Show in both halter and walking fleece.

Absinthe's first cria crop included the 2023 AOA Supreme Champion Dark Huacaya Female H2R Queen's Jubilee. Jubilee was also Judge's Choice at the 2023 Futurity and High Selling Huacaya Female - sold to Oldenburg Alpacas and Madrick Alpacas in Germany.

Other Judge's Choice offspring include H2R Truffle Shuffle and H2R A La Mode.

His son, H2R Atlas sold to Rotten Mud in Poland.

Sire of the 2025 High Selling Huacaya Female, H2R Polka Dance, at The Futurity Show & Sale.

Absinthe's two histograms were:
2018 AFD 13.8 SD 3.0 CV 21.7 >30 0.3
2019 AFD 13.8 SD 2.9 CV 20.9 >30 0.3
And check out those EPDs! Not too shabby.
They don't come much better than this.
