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.

Ellesse has been a reliable foundation female in our herd and has brought us much joy over the last few years. In her younger days, she earned several ribbons in the white and beige categories, and her fleece has always been appreciated for its quality and versatility. She is also easygoing by nature, which has made her a calm and steady presence among our alpacas. As a dam, Ellesse has raised healthy and well conformed cria. Although she is a bit older, it may still be possible for her to produce again. In June 2024 she was bred to Alpaca Rainbow Ranch Top Knot, and in the spring of 2025 she delivered Tolliver, a handsome young Appaloosa male. With our herd continuing to grow, we have decided to offer Ellesse together with her 2025 cria, Tolliver. We believe they could make a meaningful addition to another program and hope to find the right home where they will be valued

Description

Tolliver is a handsome young male born on our farm with bright, dense fleece, a soft handle, and fine, well defined crimp. He is an appaloosa with a few faint spots that are expected to become more noticeable after his first shearing. Though unproven, he is already showing the structural correctness and fleece potential valued in a breeding program. He is sired by Alpaca RainbowRanch’s Top Knot, a proven appaloosa herdsire who earned First Place Walking Fleece at the Nationals AOA Show in the multicolor yearling male category under judge Arturo Peña. Top Knot is the offspring of Apache Gentlemen, a notable appaloosa herdsire recognized for elite fleece traits and striking phenotype, and RainbowRanch’s Maggie, known for consistent fiber quality and balanced conformation. His dam, EON Max Factor’s Ellesse, is a proven white and beige female with a history of producing fine, bright fleece and passing strong conformation to her offspring. She is sired by EON Max Factor, a multi champion male with numerous show wins including multiple Color Championships and Reserve Championships across competitive halter and fleece shows. Max Factor is celebrated for his exceptional density, uniformity, and lasting fineness, traits he reliably passes to his progeny. Ellesse combines her sire’s award winning qualities with a calm temperament and a consistent production record. With Tolliver’s award winning sire, proven dam line, and unique appaloosa coloring, he carries the genetic potential for outstanding fiber quality, color possibilities, and solid structure.
