I'm in love with this new boy, Carmello. This photo doesn't show it much, but his eyes have some blue in them. They look beautiful when the sun hits his face.

Exciting news from the farm: There is a new addition this morning, a lively little male. He’s the offspring of Amalie from Grapplin Farm (True Black) and Sequoia from Linden Hills (Beige)!

Now we have a name for the new two-day-old boy!

Talen Ranch’s Timeless Verses

Out of Cinco C’s Centerfold and Alpaca Rainbow’s Late Shift!

We have been trying to figure out what his colors are (mostly silver grey close to the skin), but we then realized we wouldn’t know until he’s matured/shorn—and perhaps those would change over time! And hence, the name!

07/26/2024

Update: The name for this beautiful male is “Talen Ranch’s Timeless Verses.” Isn't that cool, right? 😉

Cinco C’s Centerfold has given birth to a beautiful baby boy! The sire is Alpaca Rainbow Ranch’s Late Shift. We were incredibly worried about the size of her pregnancy, but look at her now, with her giant baby! It was a long wait, but the dam appears happy that it's all done!

Check out this week-old Talen Ranch’s Fall in Love! Isn’t she just lovely? I absolutely enjoy capturing such shots like this! 😆

Check out the newest member of our farm - introducing Talen Ranch’s Fall in Love! She's rocking a few gorgeous spots, just like her amazing sire!

Dam: Talen Ranch’s Sing Me Rain

Talen Ranch welcomed a new male cria last Monday. He was born to Sweet Pines Soleil (an offspring of Daytona’s Nocino), and Flare Incan’s Nightfire. We named him Talen Ranch’s Crimson Effect. He exhibits hues of mahogany and modern grey, although these colors may evolve as he matures. ❤️

We couldn't resist sharing this amazing photo with you!

Talen Ranch's As You Wish (6-month-old cria) loves receiving attention. When no one is around, she tries to get as much sleep as possible. We eagerly anticipate her first shearing as we have noticed some beige, white, and fawn areas on her. (32° here now, and most snow melts, and it's like, wow, so warm! For us Washingtonians!)

03/11/2024

Cinco C’s Centerfold is relaxing and waiting for her first cria soon this summer. She’s a beauty, isn’t she?

02/27/2024

Victoria: This chin rub feels nice, but I am still new on the farm, and to you (me, her new owner).
Charli (in the back): Hey! That rub was supposed to be mine! Move over!

We are thrilled that spring is almost here because we will soon be on the lookout for our first cria of 2024 in April, with ten more to follow! The female giving birth is Charli Tango (got her from Cinco C’s Alpacas)and she was bred to Sequoia of Linden Hills. Charli’s genotype is EE Aa, and although the service sire has not been tested, he has produced two white and one DRG male offspring. We are hoping for a female offspring from this pair, and since we rely on the dam's genotype, the offspring is unlikely to be white. Although we love white, we already have many at this time. Stay tuned! For more information, please visit OpenHerd Talen Ranch.

When planning for your 2025 cria, don't forget to consider the Top Knot alongside our other outstanding herdsires. Their excellent genetic traits will yield remarkable outcomes for your program.

This handsome alpaca’s fleece is so dense, and we are always in awe of how they keep themselves warm during colder days. That's why we appreciate their fleece products (RainbowRanch’s Late Shift)

01/22/2024

Although the temperature currently stands at 34°, which is not considered cold for us(freezing temperature starts at 32° below), we still receive a substantial amount of snowfall. However, we anticipate that the snow will begin to melt this week as we approach the onset of spring.. 🤞🏼

01/19/2024

Have you ever witnessed a natural beauty so breathtaking that it left you speechless? I recently saw something that truly took my breath away - the snow looked pink for a few minutes! It was unfiltered and simply magical. I couldn't believe my eyes! ❤️

01/16/2024

Can you believe it? Despite the chilly -4° weather, the male alpacas were hanging out with ease. Their super soft and snug fleece is what's keeping them warm. It's like they have their own personal heater built right in. How cool is that?

01/05/2024

Wow, those fleeces from our 2023 shearing day are absolutely breathtaking! I can't stop admiring them. I'm already excited for the next shearing day to see what other amazing fleeces we'll get.❤️

01/05/2024

(Details on this male are in the Comments section.) We are absolutely smitten with this handsome appy boy! I'm already counting down the days until his babies arrive this summer. We selected a few stunning, top-notch(fleece)females to breed with him, expecting some genuinely exceptional offspring. It's safe to say we're pretty darn excited over here! Make sure to stay tuned for updates!

Check out these adorable Talen Ranch cats taking a well-deserved break from their mousing duties! They're just too cute to resist.

Last cria (actually a second one) of 2023! We did it so small this year, but we have way more for 2024!

Let’s welcome TR’s Kaizen, a beige and light-fawn male! Out of white sire and dam (Shilo of Linden Hills and EON Max Factor’s Ellessee). We are pleased with this one, nice tight curls, and see what he will become!

09/13/2023

Cute how this little one cuddles with her dam. ❤️

Touching Moment: Greyson and Talen Ranch’s As You Wish. ❤️

08/19/2023

Let’s welcome our new female, Talen Ranch’s As You Wish. ❤️

Out of Grapplin Farm’s Amalie (TB) and Shilo of Linden Hills ((W)Skyfall’s offspring). Look at those curls!

07/16/2023

The 2024 cria is in the works! Sonic Shift’s PennyLu and Alpaca Rainbow Ranch’s Alchesay. Now we have to wait.....

06/12/2023

Sold! Please check here once in a while as I will post as soon as new ones become available for a new home.

I have three white male alpaca cria for sale. They need to be together. They will be non-breeding animals. I will need to check the area where they will be living to see if the fencing is appropriate and that they will be safe. It is the routine I do when it comes to placing our alpacas in a new home. They are almost ten months old. Fun animals to own, and yes, they will be excellent mowers! They come from outstanding bloodlines, so their fleece would be easily made into beautiful yarns yearly—DM for questions.

Victoria & Charli

Victoria: This chin rub feels nice, but I am still new on the farm, and to you (me, her new owner). Charli (in the back): Hey! That rub was supposed to be mine! Move over!

As You Wish: Five months old

Charli and Sequoia’s offspring!

Cute how this little one cuddles with her dam. ❤️

Shearing Day at TR!

The sun is finally shining at Talen Ranch! No more snow, please!

Khione’s morning greeting:

This! You could see the personality of the puppy on the top! 😆

Aw. Talen Ranch’s Bundaberg Rum is showing a milky mustache. A must post. 😂

Poseidon (left) and Khione (right) just returned from patrolling the farm overnight and waiting for their morning treats. They worked hard. Eco, the little 13-year-old dog, is their support dog which is to notify the two other dogs of predators and watch whatever is happening. 😉 Happy Friday!

We worked so hard today and interacted with the alpacas for the very first time. This task is essential, as we are training to be LGD. We have graduated from interacting with chickens and cats. Now we’ve been promoted to alpacas today. We are not guarding them yet as we still are too young. However, we now are comfortable being around those animals. Now, there are a few of us who need a farm to go to, to be trained further. Would that be yours?

We love our LGDs. Examples like this melt our hearts! Happy Friday!

Smores shares extra love with her little one, Dayra. ❤️

Another story on Talen Ranch: A new cria on my birthday morning! Early. His dam was standing and staring at me. I did a round earlier but no signs of possible labor. I was surprised to find the cria on the ground. He was so cold, so I grabbed him and carried him into a shed, and checked his temperature. It was so low, and I had to blow dry him for 90 minutes and check his temperature every 10 minutes. Until it hit 98F. I had to monitor him all day and ensure he received sufficient colostrum. I am now relaxed, knowing he’s OK. He’s looking great this morning. Hence, let’s welcome Talen Ranch’s Southport Saylor. The dam is Windstar’s Brianna, and the sire is Sequoia of Linden Hills (Valor’s offspring). Saylor is a lightweight male, but like his parents, he has long legs! ❤️

Milk time at 6:45 a.m.: The puppies were beyond excited when their mom came in from working on the farm. Have a great day! :)

Now four weeks old: The puppies were moved outside yesterday, and they loved it. We also love it when we come inside their kennel, and they run to us fast. They just began eating soaked solids with formula. Their mother comes in intermittently to check on and feed them. ❤️
