Russell's Alpaca Acres

With the passing of Simba, Annie is of particular value to us. She is the only breeding offspring we have of him and we are relying on her to carry on his legacy in our breeding program. Annie's first cria, out of our beautiful fawn Multi-champ male, Take Two, was a beautiful dark mahogany female with tight curls and tremendous density for her age. We have bred Annie back to Take Two hoping for a carbon copy of this year's cria....

We knew Take Two would someday be an amazing addition to our herdsire row and he has not disappointed us. Now as a two year old, Take Two's fleece is extremely bright, super soft and fine, and extremely well organized. He has beautiful architecture through out the staple and with excellent consistency found within each one. Our recent participation at the VAOBA 2015 show found Take Two competing for the Judges' Choice award. This was the very same show he took not only took the Color Championship in halter but also the Reserve Championship in fleece. The judges deliberated between him and a beautiful white male. Although we did not come home with this banner, the comments we received from...

Princess is a very special female for us. She was the highest selling female at the AOA 2014 National Auction and we were very proud to take her home. Her genetic heritage is power packed with MFI Peruvian Jericho and Snowmass Invincible as grandsires on both sides. Princess has many accolades to her credit including 2 Judges' Choice awards, 7 championship banners, and countless blues. Her first offspring for us, Clear Mountain's Okemo, not only took a blue and the Color Championship at his very first show, but also the Judges' Choice award...at only 10 months of age! Her second son, Clear Mountain's Stratton, has taken 16 Banners and is just now starting his breeding career. Two boys, tw...

Meet the reigning crown prince of CCNF. Show record aside, at the time he was born, Elixir was probably the best male alpaca our breeding program had produced in 16 years. Good thing too, as he and his paternal siblings had some mighty big shoes that we were asking them to fill in the years ahead. The son of three time Futurity Herdsire of the Year, Snowmass Elite Legend, and our multi-Champion Archangel daughter, CCNF Ascension, Elixir when conceived as a concept on paper was supposed to be good. We just had no idea that the stars were going to align quite as nicely as they did. The fleece fineness and phenotype of his maternal line combined with the other-worldly density and uniformity he ...

Felina is our beautiful fawn daughter out of our JC winner and 6X champ dam, RR Rose Fiona, crossed with multi champ Andromeda's Dark Star. Felina has particularly stylish phenotype and her fleece characteristics are very promising. It was nice her Juvenile year but what we see coming in as she turns a year old is very exciting and we are looking forward to competing in the upcoming shows. 2018 Update: Felina is set to be bred this year to Dorian's 24 Karate, multi-champion fawn son of Dorian! Cria due to arrive August 2019. ...

AMAF Dorian’s 24 Karat is the total package. He has amazing fleece – fineness, brightness, well-organized high frequency crimp and consistent coverage with a soft butter hand. Put that together with a pleasing phenotype and spot-on conformation and you are talking about a well-rounded Jr. Herdsire. 24 Karat is sired by the infamous Beethoven’s Dorian, a 3X Judges Choice and 11X Color Champion winner in his own right. Dorian is responsible for many bannerand Judges’ choice winning offspring, including AMAF I love Lucy, Dorian’s Juniper, I Dream of Jeannie and Kaylee’s Kareena. 24 Karat’s Dam is FPA Jazmin, sired by MFI Peruvian Black Mesquite. 24 Karat has eight 1st place ribb...

We are so pleased with this true black solid young male. He totally rocked it his first year of showing as a juvie. Strat continues to grow and is now a stocky, fully intact yearling male. We are really thrilled with his confirmation and his amazing fleece growth since shearing. He is super dense and fine for a black and consistently shows these characteristics across all parts of his body. We offer half interest in him as we have very high expectations of this boy as he grows into maturity and we'd like to see him promoted out further than our local area. Plus it's ALWAYS more fun to celebrate banners and breedings with a partner! Consider jumping on board and partnering up with us as we e...
