Alpacas At Marquam Hill Ranch

Alpacas At Marquam Hill Ranch raises alpacas in Molalla, OR, Clackamas County and the Willamette Valley near Portland. Bill Cameron has been breeding alpacas for over a decade and is a member of the Alpaca Owners Association, performing regular health testing and fleece evaluations. The herd grazes on rotational pasture and retreats to ventilated barns, where daily handling helps develop calm temperaments and early handling of crias fosters trust.

Year-round husbandry includes tailored nutrition plans, seasonal hoof care and parasite control to maintain optimal wellness across all ages. Visitors often comment on the ranch’s approachable setting and the alpacas’ gentle nature during guided farm tours. The ranch blends traditional farm life with community engagement, hosting occasional open days for local schools and knitting groups interested in natural fibers. With a focus on sustainable practices and community education, the ranch contributes alpaca fleece to local fiber arts projects and collaborates with area weavers.
