Can we just say up front that has to be one of the worst show photos ever? The young fella is nobody's fool but we love him nonetheless! Privateer was one of the first crias born here ever sired by Spirit Wind’s Maestro, our fawn 2014 Futurity Champion Herdsire and his arrival did nothing to dampen our enthusiasm for his dad. Of course Privateer’s depth of quality comes in equal measure from his dam, CCNF Nutmeg of Consolation, the most decorated alpaca in our program’s history (halter and fleece), she being a daughter of SHRA Virtual’s Reality and the mighty Snowmass Legacy Gold himself, both of them original CCNF foundational animals whose lines still play key roles throughout our herd. As one would assume – correctly – the result is a typey little male with a dense, fine, and uniform fleece that glistens with brightness. Tragically, we lost Maestro in May of 2018 leaving Privateer as his only working son. In the absence of his sire and with the second crop of Elixir/Majesty cross females reaching sexual maturity last year, Privateer got to show us what he could do in the summer of 2020. Those crias will likely make their show debuts in 2021. Meanwhile we are pleased to now offer Privateer for outside stud service at an introductory rate of $2,500.

When we finally came out of pandemic hiding last fall, this lovely Dreadnought daughter was front and center in our show team, convincingly winning both of her Championships at the Showtacular! Of course her quality is not a fluke, with her maternal brother, CCNF Axel, having won the JC Male at the NEAOBA fall show, the previous time we were at that venue. With Alexis being yet another example of the magic of an Elixir/Matrix Majesty cross, we would want to take her genetics in a different direction when it comes to her breeding. Already dense and fine, as befits a member of her family line, we feel that she is ready-made to match up with medium fawn Herdsire, CCNF Privateer (CCNF Nutmeg of Consolation x Spirit Wind’s Maestro), which is the strategic play we are making now in our breeding program with other animals of her profile. Buy her, show her, and then send back to us over the spring and summer for breeding. Regardless, Alexis sells with that first breeding included and a full reproductive guarantee!
