Glyptis Manor Sweet Ambrosia

Huacaya, Open (Female), Proven | Medium Fawn

AOA# 35515937 D.O.B. 7/3/2019 (6 yrs) (Due Date: 12/1/2026)

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.

Huacaya, Female, Unproven, Dark Brown

ARI# 35370642 | DOB: 7/12/2016

We are proud to offer this tremendous female at the 2018 Parade of Champions sale! Straight off of our 2017/2018 show team, her sire is our Futurity Champion, CCNF Magistrate, the son of Snowmass Matrix Majesty and our late and great super dam, SHRA Virtual’s Reality, a female that basically has her own wing in the annals of our colored breeding program. The point being that Magesteria wasn’t some kind of fluke that just happened to pop out of nowhere! Though her color undoubtedly shifted from...

~Rare Gem Camouflage (Harlequin)

Huacaya, Herdsire (Male), Proven, Medium Fawn, Dark Silver Grey, True Black

| DOB: 11/15/2021

It is with great excitement that we introduce this handsome harlequin appaloosa son of Vintage Cashmere U-Taupe-ia and elite-fleeced, Running Late's Peaches and Cream.

Peaches was purchased in 2019 for her outstanding fiber traits, beautiful phenotype, pedigree and patterned fleece. She does not carry an appaloosa or harlequin in her pedigree, but is an expressed pattern so she was included in the appy/harley program as a potential for throwing just what we want. In 2019, she was paired wit...

Description

So excited to add this lovely lady to the Rare Gem herd. In February 2022, Ambrosia was purchased as a bred maiden at the Amber Autumn Auction from Glyptis Manor Alpacas. Ambrosia is a stunning young foundation female. She has a solid frame that is well balanced and covered with a uniform medium fawn fleece. Ambrosia maintains her consistent character and architecture from skin to tips and from shoulder to rump. Since arriving she delivered a handsome light fawn male-- Rare Gem Boss Mead, sired by the 2021 AOA National Fleece Champion-- 5C's Captain Cognac. Captain Cognac is a stunning brown male from Carol Howard's - 5C program. Offspring, Boss Mead, has a stunning, brilliantly bright, dense fleece.

Ambrosia is out of two CCNF parents-- 5X Judges Choice / 14X champion CCNF Elixir and 4X Champion CCNF Magisteria.

Ambrosia likes to keep us waiting for her cria-- first offspring arrived @ 366 days! Her second cria has now arrived @ 356 days. Another handsome male, Rare Gem X-Spotsss Imagine, with stunning fleece from Day 1. We can just IMAGINE his future! He has thick bundles of bright curls from the get-go. He is the paternal sister to harlequins-- Derwydd Pukka-dot and Monet's Palette of DVAF. Pukka-dot was the 2023 national Grey Fleece Champion and Monet sold at the 2023 Parade of Champions Auction in New York for $18,000. Check him out below-- Rare Gem X=Spottsss Imagine.

Ambrosia is an amazing dam. She has now thrown two healthy, strong cria. She has plenty of milk and great maternal instincts and a calm disposition.
