Top Knot has matured into an impressive herdsire whose genetics continue to strengthen our breeding program. He carries award-winning fleece noted for density, brightness, and uniformity, along with unique brown and black spotting and subtle grey shading on his nose. His sire is a respected harlequin herdsire, and his pedigree is further supported by his older half-sibling, Alpaca Rainbow Ranch’s Alchesay, well known for producing offspring with excellent fiber and strong conformation. Top Knot’s quality was recognized with First Place in the Multiple Color Yearling Walking Fleece category at the 2023 AOA Nationals under Judge Arturo Peña. His histogram results confirm the strength and consistency of his fiber. He has already produced offspring in a variety of colors, with one standout being his 2025 cria, Checkmate Gambit, a striking harlequin with exceptional fleece. Talen Ranch is proud to stand Top Knot as a herdsire and welcomes inquiries from breeders seeking proven fiber quality and distinctive genetics. Can drive by if PNW.

Allow us to introduce you to our largest female alpaca, Viognier, or Gio for short. Gio has a solid foundation to build upon, thanks to her impressive pedigree with excellent bones: Overture, Matrix, Messiah, and XXXtreme. This particular young lady is quite lovely. Her crimp may be looser, but her fineness and density are consistently impressive. The animal's lineage boasts a variety of colors, which we hope will enhance our livestock collection. Gio is scheduled to have a summer 2025 cria with Alpaca Rainbow Ranch’s Top Knot. Both of these animals are sizable and have the potential to produce substantial offspring with superior fleece.
