Alpacas Of The Alleghenies, LLC

Alpacas Of The Alleghenies, LLC is a breeder of alpacas in Duncansville, PA, serving the Allegheny Mountains near Altoona. It follows guidelines set by the Alpaca Owners Association and maintains regular veterinary care, including annual health screenings and fleece evaluations. Animals are raised in pasture-based paddocks with daily gentle handling, which supports even-tempered livestock and consistent fiber development.

Rooted in mountain farm heritage, the operation draws on regional traditions to support a close-knit herd. The herd reflects a variety of fleece colors and fiber qualities nurtured by founder Bert Altmanshofer on this family farm. Fiber is evaluated for micron count and softness, ensuring even batches for handspinners and dyers. Emphasis on early socialization and low-stress herd dynamics helps alpacas adapt well to small-group settings. Visitors and fiber artists often note the approachable nature of the animals and the informative farm environment.
