We proudly co-own this male with North Plains Alpacas! Tim had approached us at GWAS and gave us an offer that we just could not refuse, so, Rum Runner has joined the Herdsire row at Red Granite Ranch! NPA Rum Runner is a simply stunning multi-color male. A bay black base color, with shades of dark brown, and spots of silver/rose grey, fawn, and brown - he is indeed an multi with grey genetics, which can be controversial to some... Rum Runner was named the 2024 Futurity Multi-Color Male Color Champion winner as a Yearling, respectively, and has a flawless show record to boot of blues and a couple of reds. Judges comment on his extremely soft handle with very fine fibers even between his different colors. We are excited to add this boy to our program and start a small appy program with him. He started breeding for us, and has a handful of females due in 2025.

Red Granites Blue Bell is a proven production female with an elite pedigree, and a rare offering from our breeding program. She is the full sister to Red Granites Royal Brutus, the exceptional 30-time champion rose grey male now owned by Moose Creek Alpacas. Brutus has earned national recognition for his offspring, and Blue Bell shares the same outstanding genetics that made him a standout sire. With Snowmass Reserved as her sire, Blue Bell represents one of the last daughters of this incredible male remaining in our herd—making her availability a truly unique and limited opportunity for breeders focused on color, quality, and consistency. Over the years, Blue Bell has given us three beautiful crias, two females and one male. Her offspring average a healthy 16.5-pound birth weight and an average gestation of 337 days. Notably, her 2023 son, Red Granites Braveheart By Alydar, was selected for the 2025 Futurity Auction and sold to Roaring Acres Alpacas of Connecticut. We have chosen to retain her 2024 Val D Lsere daughter as Blue Bell's replacement in our herd. Blue Bell is currently bred to NPA Rum Runner, a Futurity Champion co-owned with North Plains Alpacas, for an anticipated cria in early August 2025. Should you wish, we offer the option to birth her here and rebreed her to a Herdsire of your choice from our lineup for an additional $2,500. Our top recommendation for a next pairing is none other than the 21-time Black Champion, Red Granites Legit By Val D Lsere, whose genetics have proven to be game-changing across our black program. Blue Bell offers more than just potential, she delivers! With a champion-producing pedigree, reliable production record, and an exciting cria on the way, she would be a valuable asset to any breeder looking to elevate their color program.
