Diamond was quite the surprise with his fiber and density and SPOTS!! We had him shorn on the 15th of Sept. to get the cria tips off to make this little man spectacular for the spring shows. This male definitely knows what he is here for and is a great herdsire. Diamond was breed to Jenna and Apache Wind, summer of 2023, anxiously waiting to see what arrives in 2024.

Talula in her own right is a blue ribbon black beauty! When she was born she had the longest staple we had ever seen and a silky like appearance. Making her something special and has not been a disappointment. Bright with an incredibly long staple fleece. She had a 17 AFD on her first histogram. She is also a spitting image of her father, 2012 AOBA National Fleece Champion LKR Total Eclipse. Talula was specifically bred for, beautiful boxy head, short nose, compact body style with loads of coverage! Talula is an exceptional alpaca that has given us two beautiful cria, LS (Late Shift), Penny Lu and Sunshine. She is a great mom with awesome fiber and passes that along to her offspring. Talula and Diamond's newest addition to our ranch, just check out this little ray of Sunshine! Talula was bred to Alchesay and produce a stunning and spunky boy, that has high quality fiber and even though he only has a couple of spots, we are waiting to see what appears after shearing in the summer of 2024.

Alchesay was sired by Apache Gentlemen's, who has produced many stunning appaloosa cria. Alchesay's dam is Alpaca Rainbow Ranch's Valentine, and she has won a Banner and blue ribbons at shows. The combination of these two alpacas, gave us Alchesay and he had proven to be a Champion himself. Alchesay has turned out to be our lead herdsire, here at Alpaca Rainbow Ranch, and had 4 cria in 2023, and has had 4 cria this year with one more on its way. Next year we are hoping for 9 cria from Alchesay, with several ranches that have brought in dams to breed with him. We are proud of the quality of the fiber on these offspring, thanks to Alchesay's quality throughout his fiber. Alchesay's phenotype stands out from the others, his fleece has crimp throughout with a strong consistency of the fiber in his blanket. Alchesay bred 4 dams in 2023. and so far 5 will be bred this year, and if you would like to add His bloodline to your herd, lets us know. He has proven his fiber and confirmation by winning Banners and Blue ribbons at every show he has attended. This exceptional male is well mannered and knows how to present himself to prospective females.
