3Springsalpacas

3Springsalpacas breeds alpacas in Kennedy, NY, Cattaraugus County and the Southern Tier near Jamestown. The farm maintains membership in national alpaca associations and the herd undergoes regular health screenings for fleece quality and well-being. Alpacas graze on mixed pasture through spring and summer and move to roomy barns in winter, where daily handling helps build gentle temperaments.

The breeding program balances fleece density with calm dispositions to reflect a thoughtful approach to herd development. Set on gently rolling land, the farm combines traditional grazing methods with shelter provisions that prioritize animal comfort. Seasonal pasture rotations and ongoing fleece assessments help the owners track fiber characteristics as animals mature.

Owners Theodore Clark and Stephanie Clark draw on family farming roots to guide daily care routines and fleece handling. Each year’s fleece shows consistent micron counts and staple length, underlining the steady results of careful selection.
