Black Barn Alpacas

Black Barn Alpacas are a small alpaca breeder in Finksburg, MD, in Carroll County near Baltimore. Travis and Yussy Mcmanus have been raising alpacas for over a decade and hold membership in the Alpaca Owners Association while following recommended health testing protocols.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures and receives daily health checks, with vaccinations and hoof trimming overseen by a local veterinarian. Breeding decisions prioritize gentle temperaments and fleece density, aiming to nurture animals well suited for both backyard farms and fiber productions. Young alpacas benefit from early socialization, learning to navigate seasonal weather and quiet routines among visitors and caretakers.

Fiber samples are regularly shared with nearby artisans to maintain consistent fleece quality and support community partnerships. New owners often note the calm and gentle nature of the animals and the welcoming atmosphere of the farmstead’s rustic barn setting.
