For the "shear" joy of alpacas!

We have been breeding alpacas since 1998 and maintain a herd of between 50 and 60 alpacas - a large enough herd to offer a variety of bloodlines, but small enough that each alpaca is known and cared for as an individual.  Like most alpaca farms, our breeding goals for fibre are to continually improve fibre fineness and density, but we have a special interest in breeding alpacas that maintain a fine fleece with age.  Proper nutrition, exceptional care, and considerate handling and training are very important to us, as is making sure that new owners are taught everything they need to know to look after their alpacas.  Whether you are just researching alpaca farming or want to expand your existing herd, whether you are looking for show quality alpacas or fibre animals, an investment or a lifestyle, or just the best reason to get outside every day, you are welcome to come for a visit.

Show News!  We took three alpacas to the 2011 Alpaca Ontario show and came home with three ribbons.  SCA Jaxon won a first place ribbon in a class of 11 juvenile black males.   SCA Atticus won a 4th place ribbon in a class of 12 yearling fawn males.  SCA Antonio and SCA Atticus won a 4th place ribbon for their dam SCA Anatolia in produce of dam.  In the 2011 Alpaca Ontario spin-off competition we entered two fleece samples: SCA Atticus won a first place ribbon in a class of 8 and also won highest score in all the light fawn categories;  SCA Trico won a first place ribbon in a class of 8.
