The life of a "snowbird" alpaca

The well being of our alpaca herd is first and foremost in our minds. All of our alpacas spent the summer months in Colorado to avoid the heat of the Arizona summer. The alpacas are all now back in AZ. Altitude and Manchester (our new jr herdsire) arrived in AZ in November after FallFest 2011. We are looking forward to being able to have all of our alpacas on our own property summer of 2012 as we make our permanent move back home to Colorado.

Our crias are arriving! We have welcomed Gunssmoke and Graycee Spirit so far! Looking forward to 6 more by May. Follow along with us!

Moving to Southwest Colorado!

Pleasant Journey Alpacas is a small ranch located in Queen Creek, AZ (SE of Phoenix). We are Susan and Glenn Kacsh and we started in the business in 2007 with 2 females and one male. We have now grown to 20 animals (6 more crias expected into early 2012) and are continuing to improve our fiber and genetics with our breeding choices. Our goal is to better our breeding program each year to be able to offer superior alpacas, fiber and products. We are very proud to be able to offer Adonnis' Altitude NS as our herdsire. "Tude" as we affectionately call him, is an outstanding alpaca that has proven to us with his first offspring that his strong genetic background will shine through. He carries an extremely dense blanket with a wonderful crimp style. Conformation and bone structure add to make up a "TOTAL PACKAGE". Tude has won 2 color championships and is a seven time blue ribbon winner. We feel fortunate to be able to stand Tude in AZ during the winter months for breedings to ranches like ours that require winter to early spring births and to be able to have him travel and stand stud in Colorado for the summer months. A breeding fee of $1750 (with discounts for multiple breedings) will get you some of the best grey genetics in the country.


In order to keep our small herd as healthy and happy as possible, we do take all of the herd to Colorado for the summer months. We feel that being able to have them out of the Arizona summers is very important. A HUGE THANK YOU to Jim and Lois Burbach for hosting our herd for the summer months. They were extremely well taken care of and spent a very happy summer vacation in Colorado. Thank you too to Blair and Karen Christensen for hosting Altitude and Manchester for the summer where they were well cared for.
