FIBER HERDS and PET ALPACAS 

Fiber herds are becoming a very popular way for farmers and breeders to affordably acquire and enjoy alpacas while earning a return by selling their own alpaca fiber products

OUR MINI FIBER HERD PROGRAM OFFERS YOU THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT BENEFITS:

Well conformed females and males, all ARI registered, from well-known and respected lines that will produce quality fiber and offspring -- please see the notes below about the value of registered alpacas.  

Diverse genetics that give you future breeding choices within your new herd

A personalized hands-on "fiber workshop" that will give you the information and contacts that you need to get and produce your own fiber products and to sell them at home, online, at farmer's markets or in shops -- every bit of alpaca fiber has a profitable use!

A high level of long-term ongoing support based on a decade of experience -- we are the first and largest alpaca farm in Orleans County, which allows us to offer an extensive selection of alpacas for sale along with the information you will need regarding shelter, general care, shearing, and breeding selections

YOU CHOOSE THE ALPACAS THAT YOU WANT IN YOUR PACKAGE

       All of our alpacas are registered (or can be registered) -- alpacas that cannot be registered due to an unregistered dam or sire are worth much less than registered animals.   In addition, their future offspring can never be registered, which significantly limits their value and prevents you from participating in halter and fleece shows.
