Alpacas Of El Dorado

Alpacas of El Dorado raises both suri and huacaya alpacas on a ranch in Somerset, California, set in the Sierra Nevada foothills roughly midway between Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe. Scott and Laurie Findlay run the operation as a full-time, full-service ranch focused on the continual improvement of fiber quality across both alpaca types.

The program places a strong emphasis on show-quality genetics and selective breeding to recognized champion bloodlines. A landmark achievement came in 2020 when El Dorado Blue's Troublemaker earned a national championship in the invited champion class as a mature male, and the farm simultaneously took home the Classic Small Breeder Trophy at the national show. The herdsire roster includes proven champions across both breeds, among them a true black huacaya champion and multiple decorated suri males.

For those seeking alpaca breeders in California with a documented show record, the ranch maintains a herdsire row built from bloodlines with multi-champion offspring. All suri animals on the property have been SHIP classified. The ranch welcomes visitors by appointment and also supports new owners through mentoring.
