CONGRATULATIONS to Roy Davis of R & K's Alpaca farm on the purchase of Apache Gentleman. Apache will be moving to their farm in Iowa in June 2022. Apache will be greatly missed at Rare Gem Alpacas but he leaves behind a number of lovely offspring to grace our herd for years to come!

Valentine is a very independent girl that doesn't mind if you touch her and check out her fleece.
Offspring of Stargazer's Shania and TrueHeart's Peruvian Valor. We have bred her twice to an appaloosa sire, Apache Gentleman, and the offsprings are wonderful, one appy male, born in 2020, named Alchesay and now in 2021 our first apply girl, Wind.
Valentine is a wonderful and very attentive mom, and we are so happy her little girl gets to stay with her.
Valentine's fiber is in the top 1% in...

Bidding Info

Description

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.
