Alpaca Meadows

Alpaca Meadows, alpacas, Mansfield, OH, is a family-run farm in Richland County and the north-central Ohio region near Columbus. It participates in national registry programs and maintains herd health through regular vaccinations, dental checks, annual wellness exams and fiber sampling.

Owner Matt Petty oversees daily care and works directly with each animal to monitor health and fleece development. The alpacas graze on open pasture, receive daily socialization with the family and follow a pasture rotation designed for animal welfare and soil health. Fleece yields are processed onsite for local artisans, with fiber grades documented for every harvest, and a small barn with straw bedding provides shelter during inclement weather.

Originating as a small-scale operation, the farm emphasizes gentle temperament and consistent fleece quality. Detailed breeding records and transparent fiber analyses help buyers make informed decisions. They adhere to Alpaca Owners Association standards for breeding ethics and fiber quality.
