We are proud to introduce Top Knot’s Draven, a fawn male with a distinctive single spot and a steady presence. Draven’s heritage brings together two respected bloodlines.

On his dam’s side, he is out of Bristol, offspring of AspenAlpacas Highpoint, offspring of the champion Silver Rose Overture, and backed further by Snowmass Golden Victory. This maternal line is recognized for brightness, density, and structural strength.

On his sire’s side, Top Knot contributes award winning fleece noted for density, brightness, and uniformity, with the added uniqueness of harlequin genetics showing brown and black spotting and subtle grey shading. His pedigree is further supported by his half sibling Alpaca Rainbow Ranch’s Alchesay, well known for producing offspring with excellent fiber and conformation. Top Knot’s quality was acknowledged with First Place in Multiple Color Yearling Walking Fleece at the 2023 AOA Nationals under Judge Arturo Peña, with histogram results confirming the consistency of his fiber.

Draven reflects the strengths of his lineage, carrying correct proportions, strong bone, and early signs of fleece quality. While still young, he shows the promise of becoming a valuable addition to any program as he matures.
