Red Granite Ranch is a family ran business, located on 400 acres in Northern Colorado at an elevation of 7,500 feet. The ranch sits at the base of the Rocky Mountains on rolling hills of prairie grassland. Collins, Colorado, and 33 miles southwest of Cheyenne, Wyoming. It is just a hop skip and a jump from interstate 80 or Colorado Highway 287. Our family invites you to visit and experience our wonderful lifestyle in the Rocky Mountains. Among the rolling hills of prairie grassland in Northern Colorado, you’ll find the home of the finest alpacas in the country. Red Granite Ranch has been breeding and selling elite seed stock alpacas in Northern Colorado since 2009. With over 10 years of trusted experience in the alpaca breeding industry. Here at Red Granite Ranch, our mission is to build an elite herd of alpacas with every breeding decision we make. Since opening in 2009, this pursuit has allowed us to create an award-winning ranch with animals proven to be competitive in the show ring. Our fleeces are dense, fine, and uniform, so you can trust that our fleece products are the best in the business. From the very beginning, we began making purchases and breeding decisions that would allow us to build a herd of elite alpacas. We wanted Alpacas that would pass on to their offspring good health, superior conformation, lasting fineness, density, and uniformity in their fleece. We are preparing our herd not only to be competitive in the show ring but profitable in the developing fiber market. Our goal is excellence and herd advancement with every breeding decision we make. Our animals and us have had the honor of being awarded:

πŸ¦™ - Huacaya or Suri?

Did you know there are two distinct breeds of alpacas? While Huacayas and Suris share many similarities, their fleece characteristics make them quite different!

HUACAYA: Known for their dense, voluminous fleece with a distinct crimp structure, giving them their signature fluffy, teddy-bear appearance.

SURI: Recognized for their long, lustrous fleece that hangs in silky, pencil-like locks, creating a sleek and elegant appearance.

Here at Red Granite Ranch, our passion lies with the Huacaya alpaca! Since 2007, we've dedicated our breeding program to advancing fleece quality, focusing on characteristics such as fineness, density, uniformity, staple length, and overall fleece architecture. We do however have a suri llama! πŸ¦™

While both breeds produce remarkable fiber, there's just something about a beautifully structured Huacaya fleece that we can't resist!

πŸ’¬ Which do you prefer: Huacaya or Suri? πŸ¦™

πŸ¦™ - How Did Alpacas Enter Your Life?

Believe it or not, alpacas weren't originally part of the plan!

Our family originally had our sights set on raising buffalo on the prairie grasslands of Northern Colorado. However, a visit to the National Western Stock Show introduced us to alpacas, and it didn't take long for us to fall in love with these remarkable animals. In 2007, we purchased our first handful of alpacas, unknowingly beginning a journey that would change our lives.

A significant milestone came in 2010 with the birth of our internationally recognized herdsire, Snowmass MR Sizlin Rose. By the end of 2012, he had earned our program its first AOBA National and Futurity Champion banners, marking the beginning of what would become an incredible journey in the show ring and breeding industry.

Interestingly enough, our program also holds a distinction we're particularly proud of: Red Granite Ranch is the first and only breeding program to have earned Small, Medium, and Large Breeder of the Year honors at The Futurity!

What started as a new adventure quickly developed into a passion for breeding, genetics, and the continuous improvement of the Huacaya alpaca. With each passing year, our dedication to producing exceptional alpacas continued to grow.

Nearly 20 years later, our program has grown to approximately 400 alpacas, with animals sold throughout North America and internationally. Along the way, we've had the privilege of becoming recognized as one of the leading Huacaya breeding programs, producing generations of exceptional alpacas.

Looking back, it's incredible to think that one visit to the National Western Stock Show could lead to everything we've accomplished today. What began with just a handful of alpacas has become a way of life, and we're excited to see what the future holds!

πŸ’¬ Now we'd love to hear from you! What first sparked your interest in alpacas?
