Black Rock Mountain Alpacas / Fiber Works

Black Rock Mountain Alpacas / Fiber Works raises alpacas in Fernley, Nevada, a high desert community about 30 miles east of Reno. Claudia and Jerry Porter operate the farm, which combines an alpaca breeding program with an on-site full-service fiber mill.

The Fiber Works side of the operation processes alpaca, llama, mohair, yak, and bison fiber, producing rovings, batts, rug yarn, fine yarn, custom rugs, dryer balls, and finished goods such as stocking caps and scarves. The mill runs Belfast Mini Mill equipment and offers thorough inspection and grading of incoming fleece before processing begins.

The farm is a member of CALPACA, the California Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association, which serves breeders across the broader Southwest region. Those looking for alpacas for sale in Nevada or seeking fiber processing services in northern Nevada will find both under one roof here — a relatively uncommon combination that gives the Porter operation a distinct dual-purpose identity.
