I actually looked at Captain Midnight a few days ago and was quite impressed with the structure and density that is still very evident at age 10+.

5C's Captain Cognac
Cinco C's Alpacas is so proud to share that three of their upcoming herdsires gained national recognition at shows in 2021. Not surprisingly, our very own 5C's Captain Midnight was the sire of two of these males.
5C's Captain Cognac won the Color Champion Brown Male at the AOA National Fleece Show. This is not the first national banner for Cognac as his fleece won the Reserve National Champion Brown Males as a juvenile in 2020.
