Colonial Damon

There truly is only one reigning queen in the Cas-Cad-Nac Farm foundation herd and her name is Magdalena. From the time she was born in ’04 to her aging but still undeniably powerful dam (PPeruvian Jesusa, who had arrived just a year prior with Maggie’s older full brother, Golden Sovereign, at side as part of the female component of our purchase of the North American Alpaca Stud) we knew that Magdalena was something truly special. Taken with her niece, CCNF Moonlight (Golden Sovereign x Snowmass Peruvian Sunstarlight), who is only two years her junior, they are the undisputed matriarchs of that most prepotent maternal line. It is a family group that taken in full, has had more representatives on our show teams that any other line in our breeding program’s 24 year history. So that was a really long introduction to basically say that CCNF Magnar’s dam is a bonafide living legend. Don’t take our word for it though, check the AOA database: it’s all there. So how do you know you’re in pretty good shape from a pedigree standpoint? How about when your sire who is a 2-time Futurity Herdsire of the Year is arguably the weaker link (sorry Elix) on your registration certificate? Though it’s all relative, the bottom line is that Magnar is stacked. Though he has not had as splashy of an entrance on the show circuit as various family members from both his maternal and paternal side, to underestimate him would be foolish. Dense, fine, uniform and bright, and with a propensity to hold that fineness over time - are traits not nearly as common as one might believe. In this case, we are happy to share these genetics and offer them as a relative value for outside stud service. We are also happily expecting his first crias here in our foundation herd in 2021...watch this space for updates.
