We, in the alpaca business, are fortunate to have excellent organizations educating and representing us. These organizations each have a different focus from which we have received many benefits, from animal research, fiber education, and breed specialty to show standards and creating for us a professional community. Of course, one of the best benefits of these associations is the opportunity to meet so many other terrific alpaca breeders.

Animal Husbandry Links

Animal Husbandry is the formal name for breeding and raising livestock. In alpaca breeding, as in the breeding of any other species, this involves nutritional issues such as feed analysis and pasture management, health issues, knowledge of genetics, birthing and raising young and many other issues. We keep current with these issues with the assistance of wonderful organizations involved with alpacas.

AOBA is the largest of our alpaca organizations. It is a national Association who has endorsed the formation of regional affiliates which can function in a smaller and closer community of members.

We bought our farm in 1999 and set about rehabilitating it for us and our horses. When we decided to raise alpacas, the design of some of our rehab plans changed. We also changed the way we managed the soil and how we harvested our hay. It has been an adventure!

Take the Tour

Watching a new cria arrive and learn how to interact with the world is a fascinating experience. Once they, literally, hit the ground, they learn to stand up on long, weak, wiggly legs and find their source of milk all by themselves. In their first day, they run, roll, and even play with other crias. Amazing!
