Misfit Ranch

Darling! We are so thrilled to add this stylish little lady to our herd! Thank you to Alpacas of Marin for this amazing opportunity! Tara had her first cria in May 2021 and we could not be more pleased! Tara has been a very attentive mother with lots of milk. Her daughter Talia will be on our show string for the fall 2022. Tara has been bred to Autumn Sun's Black Maelstrom for a May 2022 cria. To say we are excited is an understatement! ...

RC '16 AOA Fleece, CC '17 AOA Halter Maelstrom is a 13x champion, the 2016 AOA National Fleece Black Reserve Champion, and 2017 AOA National Halter Black Male Color Champion. His first fleece was measured in 2015 to be 18.81 AFD / 3.62 SD / 19.2% CoV. To bring home his banners, he combined awesome shiny, fine and uniform handle with tight crimp from his dam with Secret's inky-black similarly crimpy, shiny, and consistent fiber. Though both dam and sire have great coverage, Mael's head is credited to his sire's beautiful headstyle that cannot help but catch the eye. He is well conformed and balanced in his frame. Maelstrom has a lineage filled with champion banners, exception...

Thank you Karen Kelly of Arapaho Rose Alpacas for this amazing opportunity! This beautiful girl will be a great addition to our foundation females. Spice took Reserve Color Champion at the 2018 California Classic against a very tough class of Grey females and then went on to represent her dam who was awarded first place for product of dam. Not a bad weekend. In fall 2020, Spice gave birth to a handsome boy out of Granite Bay's Royal steel. Delivered without issue and great mom with lots of milk. In October 2021 I entered her fleece in the Gold Country Gathering fleece show and was very pleased to receive a first place ribbon. Good times! Spice has been bred to A Paca Fun's Silv...

Every once in a while you find a “magic” sire x dam cross that consistently gives you outstanding results. Such is the case with the pairing that produced Silver Legacy. He is the 5th of 6 excellent cria out of this cross, 4 of whom we are retaining which is the only reason we are willing to let him go. His full siblings included 8X champion Silver Sensation (dam of A Paca Fun’s Ridiculous) 5 X Champion Aurora (another of our stellar production dams), and champion male I Am Legend who we have retained as a herdsire. Silver Legacy is a typey full patterned tuxedo silver gray that checks off every box in the breeder’s want list. He is upright and correct, with good coverage and bone. ...

Autumn Day's Lina is a darling little girl with bright crimpy fleece. We are so excited to have her in our herd! Lina's herdsire is the award winning Majestic's a Man Among Men.

DARK HERDSIRE OF THE YEAR 2016 AND 2017 FUTURITY RESERVE LIGHT HERDSIRE OF THE YEAR 2016 FUTURITY & MEDIUM BREEDER HERDSIRE OF THE YEAR 2016, 2017, & 2019 FUTURITY So excited to see what this little girl will do!...

Snowmass Cold Cash a recent acquisition will now take Colusa Riverside Alpacas to a new fiber trait level with their Majestic Man's female progeny bred to Snowmass Cold Cash. Colusa Riverside is looking to the next generation with Cold Cash. As Sandy Wallace states about him "You wanna talk retained fineness? His AFD is 19.8 at 7 years of age. SDAFD is 3.2 with Cov 16.4 and only 0.9%>30! Talk about uniformity of micron!!" The next step in our breeding program is more retained fineness . Every girl of our own breeding program we now pair with him can result in breeding stock females. Cashmina, Cash's Dam is the offspring of Snowmass Matrix, and her dam is out of XXXtreme. So nothing but genetic elites on Cash's dam's pedigree. On his sire's end in Snowmass Sub-Zero, more genetically elite pedigree. Cash is a one percenter in 5 fiber traits, all in the fineness spectrum. On top of this he is carrying excellent density with his EPD for fleece weight. There is not enough positive pronouns to describe all Cash's fleece trait characteristics. Snowmass Cold Cash introductory breeding fee is not commensurate of his true genetic value. It is definitely a genetic steal. Call for a breeding reservation to this wonderful herd sire.

Marshmallow Delight aka. Marsha, is really a delight to work with. Reasonable temperament - leads well and no bad habits. Not a surprise since her dam Quimby Moon has they same easy going personality not to mention Derwydd El Nino's Accoyo Manchu genetics! Marsha's Sire is Snowmass Seventh Samuri ! We love her bright, soft, bundled fleece! Super excited about her first cria by SnowMass Cold Cash. Stay tuned! ...

Beautiful girl! Amazing fleece and a perfectly balanced frame! Not to mention a GREAT mom! Sonata also has AMAZING Genetics that include....Snowmass Majesty in Moonlight, Snowmass Matrix, Snowmass Legacy Gold, 4Peruvian Legacy all on her sire's side! On her dam's side...Crescent Moon's Bethesda, Crescent Moon's Accoyo Nobility, Accoyo America Phoenix, & Aladdin of KPR to name just a few. She has so many positive attributes but the one I appreciate most is her wonderful disposition that she passes on to her cria. I greatly appreciate being able to walk up to her in the field and do what needs to be done without any fuss. So excited about Sonata's next cria! She is bred to our boy S...

Stunning Male!

This stylish girl has been very straight and balanced from day one. Her fleece has great sheen, softness and crimp. Looking forward to showing Gucci this spring 2023....

Guinness Stout is a true black male out of Snowmass Satin Reserve XX as well as Rancho Margarita's M's Delight who has produced nothing but quality. Guinness has amazing presence, perfect head with a short broad muzzle and a tremendous amount of bone as well as fleece coverage to his toes. Guinness's crias are never a disappointment. Great confirmation, big bone, and beautiful fleece. We are proud to co-own this exceptional male with Granite Bay Alpacas.
