Our ranch is committed to a high-quality breeding program, with an emphasis on improvements in conformation and fleece quality in each successive generation. We have a fantastic selection of herd sires from the best families: the Peruvian Legacy, PPeruvian Caligula, and PPeruvian Royal Fawn ( Dom Lucilio) lines.

We offer a wide array of services, including breeding, sales, agisting (boarding), mentoring, and brokering (see the Services page for details).  We also have a Farm Store that offers a wide range of alpaca products, a number of which are made from our own animals' fiber.

We welcome visitors, and are happy to show them our beautiful herd and chat about alpacas. For any questions or to arrange a ranch visit, give us a call or e-mail us—we’d love to hear from you!

Exciting News

Our final open-ranch event of the year was held December 19 - 20, the weekend just before Christmas.  The event featured free ranch tours & refreshments as well as a special 20% off Farm Store sale.  A fun time was had by all who came along to meet our friendly herd of alpacas and their latest babies as well as to check out the latest alpaca product lines in our farm store.

Our stunning silver gray herd sire Misty Ridge's Silver Quest had his first offspring this past fall.  The first one was a handsome black boy and the second one a striking silver gray boy with white markings (see Silver Quest's herd sire listing for more cria pics).!

We're very excited about the show results we received for two of our herd sires at the prestigious 2009 AOBA National/World Alpaca Conference held in Cleveland, Ohio (June 2009) which featured competitors from around the world.  Our silver gray herd sire Misty Ridge's Silver Quest, shown at the left,  added to his Color and Reserve Color Championships and many blue ribbons by taking Second Place in his class in the Spin-Off competition. Silver Quest also earned a Second Place in the August 2009 AFCNA Continental Fleece Show.







Our light fawn herd sire BRCR's Peruvian Ricochet, pictured at the right, who is of the same genetic line as Silver Quest (both Caligula grandsons), won a Fifth Place in his class in the 2009 AOBA National/World Alpaca Conference Spin-Off competition.
