Well after finally going through our weights and calculating the overall amount of fleece sheared off of each animal here at Red Granite Ranch we decided it would be a neat idea to share those results, while also sharing the lines that are producing the heaviest fleeces (also our densest) for us.

So many emotions, but definitely held our breath this entire awards ceremony for the High Point Awards in Kentucky at the 2022 AOA National Fleece Show. This show season (Fall 2021 to Spring 2022) was easily one of our best show seasons Red Granite Ranch has ever had. The quality across the board of our show string was outstanding, and the animals we sold off of our strong string continued to win for their new owners, which we love to see. In June, we received the emails t read more...

We rushed from barn one to barn two read more...

We started off the Futurity read more...

This years Amber Autumn Auction was one of the best yet. A total of 57 alpacas from all over the United States and 2 from Canada, the average sales price per animal was $17,000, with the highest-seller being $42,000, which was an unproven medium fawn male consigned by Amber Autumn Alpacas. The total gold pot from the auction was just under $1 million.... We had a lot of success with our auction lots, pens were full all weekend with a lot of interest. We consigned our best this year so read more...
