This guy is programmed for pre-potency! Color coat testing = Ee AA, and…of the few progeny on the ground, he is fulfilling exactly what we thought he would and we can’t wait to get more of his progeny on the ground! Rigel won his 6th Championship at the 2023 AOA National IFA Fleece Show (measured AFD 20.1 micron) as Dark Color Champion at 4-years old! We know that his sire, CCNF Leviathan, has stamped out tons of champions. His dam, Stillmeadow Farm Bella’s Dream, has produced 4 champions thus far! So...this guy out of CCNF Leviathan and Stillmeadow Farm Bella's Dream is something pretty special! Rigel's fleece is amazingly bright with gorgeous crimp and uniformity across his blanket. He came into his own, as we thought he would — garnering championship’s at his 6 last shows! He took 1st, Color Champion, and Best Brightness in the 2023 IFA Fleece Show with a measured AFD of 20.1 from 4 locations in his blanket at 4 years old! He took 1st and Reserve Champion at 2020 VAOBA Expo under Judge Wade Gease in a “...highly impressive and competitive class.” Incidentally, the Champion was his older paternal brother! Rigel then took 1st and RC at 2021 PAOBA Breeders Showcase under Judge Helen Testa, beating out a fine young Val D Lsere offspring (yep—Val Thorens)! He also pulled down the 2021 PAOBA Walking Fleece Color Championship! At 2021 MAPACA, Rigel garnered two Color Championships! Rigel has a very nice head and boxy frame. His fleece is very uniform and carries all the way through his blanket and down into his extremities. Packed with these genetics and phenotype, we expect him to produce stellar offspring -- and thus far, he has! Rigel's sire, Leviathan, the son of CCNF Elixir and CCNF Capuchin, one of CCNF's top Snowmass Matrix Majesty daughters, got the attention of the entire staff at CCNF from almost the moment he was born, and is unarguably one of the top crias from their 2015 birth class. He sold to Stillmeadow Farm for an astounding $53K as a juvenile, at the 2016 Parade of Champions Auction. Leviathan went on to amass 10 Championships and a Judge's Choice Banner! We're pleased to announce that Man in the Moon's Rigel is now co-owned with Sunny Acres Alpacas of Ponte Vedra, FL! Contact us for breeding.

Certificate

Thank you, Nicole & Stephen! Guine has a very pleasing temperament and a nice fleece to go with it. She has quite a lot of fleece with excellent density, good structure and uniformity of micron across her blanket -- along with a lack of guard hair.

We’ve bred Guine to Man in the Moon’s Rigel, an incredible young Champion male out of another incredible male, CCNF Leviathan, who is a prepotent male that has stamped out many Champions himself. (Ultrasound positive 1/18/23) Rigel’s superior genetics come from both sides, as his dam has produced only Champions herself thus far. We think this offspring should be stellar as there are excellent qualities coming from both sides!

This girl is nice and I hate to have her on the sales list, but with 26 crias expected in 2023, we need to sell a few -- even the pregnant ones that hold lots of promise. Her price is already a steal, but we offer our best pricing with a package of three alpacas, since that will help us both out. Please give us a call and come for a visit!

Note: MMFA offers its best pricing on packages of three or more alpacas. Let us know what you're looking for and we can help you find the right package within your budget.
