Cas-Cad-Nac Farm’s Consignments at the 2010 National Elite Alpaca Auction: Lot #42 CCNF Andean Dream
The summer of 2010 was the birthing season when we found out what one our newest and shiniest alpaca toys was capable of producing! MFI Peruvian Precocious came to us in 2009 with all sorts of promise—not least of which was the fact that in addition to his general yumminess, he was unrelated to 95%…
Cas-Cad-Nac Farm’s Consignments at the 2010 National Elite Alpaca Auction: Lot #36 CCNF Cacao
So the last time we sold a male of this quality and color profile was at the National Elite in 2008 when CCNF Silver Vector went on the block. The reality is that we don’t have enough unrelated and dark colored females to make proper use of a Herdsire like Cacao within our breeding program….
We’re Done Walking In Circles (and not because we had Listeria)!
Random thoughts that percolated while driving home last night from the Empire Extravaganza… 1. Many thanks to all the amazing folks who made this past weekend possible.

Just back from Syracuse and amongst other things really, really happy not to be creating any more blog posts on my laptop from a Hampton Inn with no mouse. Bratty, I know but there you have it. While I can’t complain about our results over the past week (4 Champs, 4 Reserves) at all, it’s…
Cas-Cad-Nac Farm’s Consignments at the 2010 National Elite Alpaca Auction: Lot #25 CCNF Tulum
On top of being yet another member of a powerful maternal line, Tulum is carrying something VERY special inside of her. The cria she carries at this writing represents the final confirmed pregnancy of our legendary Herdsire, SuperNova… Tulum, like her full sister Tikal before her, represents everything we had wanted to produce when crossing our Legacy…
